I too swim at an outdoor pool that is very cold at times (around 63 degrees F.) Will this suit help with warmth

The suit is geared more towards protecting your body from jellyfish and other sealife. The suit is too thin to act as an insulator.

The suit is not a wetsuit but a lycra suit to protect you from jelly fish stings etc. so won't keep you warm

No but it's made out of wetsuit material so it might keep you warmer in the water. Definitley not waterproof though.

We use the suits for construction, but, I think that if you order a large enough size and do not have multiple layers of sweaters and coats on ----- this should be usefull.

Yow! That could be coooold! I would maybe look at a 4 or 5 mm thickness suit, that said, this is so cheap and if you get it on prime with free returns... Anyway, I'd guess Medium so you're not wrestling too much to get it on. It does need to be fairly tight and in contact with the skin to work properly, mine has a spot in the small of my back that doesn't contact so it makes a cold spot, which seems to be typical of low-cost wetsuits, but at this price I can't complain too much.

It will all depend on how sedentary you are. I wear these when I drift fish for steelhead in a boat for 10 hour+ days. The temps are usually 35F and below. I also wear a polartec beanie, balaclava, 3 other mid-layers, 3 pairs of smartwool socks and Baffin boots. If you will be actively moving about, this is not for you.

No if it is windy you will feel the wind coming through this suit. This suit is for more moderate temperatures. I would recommend frabill heavy made cold weather suit.

yes the suit is very warm my husband wore it under his other camo clothing and he was toasty he said.

I don't know exactly what temp is too warm but most of the days I've worn it started out below freezing and I was riding my ATV to my fishing spot on the lake but by mid day it was probably in mid 30s and I took the coat part off but put it on frequently when the sun went behind the clouds and/or it got windy. I do tend to have a higher tolerance to the cold than the average person and this suit might be a little too much on many occasions but my way of thinking is that it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Swimming laps might be better with a vest. I'm very cold natured so I would use it for laps at 84 degrees, but I think a vest would be enough for most people after getting warmed up. Keep in mind it does run very small. You wouldn't want it too tight for that activity. I wasn't hot in it riding bikes at a casual pace for an hour after snorkeling. It's very flexible but it's still a wetsuit material.

Yeah, I think it would. With the inner lining it's quite warm. Make sure you dress in layers.

Our pool is 84-85 degrees, too. You will love this jacket. I've been wearing it all winter in the pool. It makes swimming comfortable. If you feel too warm, while doing many laps, just open the zipper a bit at the neck.

It is very thin, so it might work. I wear such a balaclava for windsurfing in summer, but that is for warmth.

The jacket is pretty thin so it doesn't provide very much additional warmth. It is water tight and pretty wind resistant so it does cut down a bit on wind chill, but the jacket is no substitute for layering or a heavier coat if you plan on using it in cold temperatures.

Yes, I use mine equally as much for diving and surfing. I am a tech diver and have used this suit in a variety of water conditions, ocean, bays, and river. I must have used this suit over 100 times last year between surfing and diving. It doesnt have any signs of breaking down on me at this point. It's great for the price. Hope this helpsbtw, I live in Florida and i wouldnt use this suit to dive in the winter. You may want something thicker depending on where you are.

Don't know your temps. I am using it for Aqua fit classes in an outdoor pool that is heated to 80 but the winter wind feels cold.

I live in Michigan and I dress in layers (flannel shirt over hoodie over sweatshirt over long sleeve t-shirt) when it is cold outside. When the temp is in the 30 degree range it MIGHT be somewhat snug.

Hmm, I know it has kept me plenty dry, warm, and not sweaty and I have given it plenty of action, including violent swims. The neck gasket does leak a tiny bit, which happened a couple of weeks ago at Kilchis River on the SHORE when I got wave after wave of heavy rain dumped on me for a good half hour. Get one of those LL Bean fleece fishing jumpsuits for $50-60 to wear under it, and a sweatshirt to wear between it and the drysuit if it's cold outside, and you will be fine.
