What shirt should I buy if I am swimming in cold water?

rashguard, in general, and this shirt, in particular, is worn for sun protection, not to keep warm. For that, you will need a wet suit made of neoprene, which comes in long or short sleeve and varying thickness.

This is a very thin (also very flexible) neoprene shirt that will give you little protection from very cold temperatures and yes,,, water will enter at the neckline.

I highly recommend warming the water first. Using cold water can be very uncomfortable.

I wear mine for kayaking and getting in the water with temperatures in the low 40's. I live in VA. I love the suit, just takes time to break it in with the right fit. You might be able got with a 3mm and 2mm sleeves. For the price I could not beat it.I hope this helped.

I would recommend using warm water... just so that it feels slightly warm to the touch. If the water is too warm, it will be a profoundly unpleasant sensation and, if too cold, you will suffer in kind.

It did not help me in cold water. I think neoprene is the only thing that helps there.

I believe it would. I walked a lot of the tough mudder I did due to foot disability and I was warm even with this shirt being wet. I would use it as an under layer, like long johns.

Assuming normal shoulder width, I would go with a Large. If fishing in cooler climates, perhaps a XL for layering . Great vest. Hope this helps !

I bought a 6-6x for my daughter who is around 45 lbs. If I were you, I'd buy a 4T, so there is some room to move (and grow). Unlike adult wet suits for scuba diving, you don't want this one super tight. Incidentally, my daughter is still a little cold in this wet suit, just because it's so cold outside. But she is much happier at swim class now!

No you're going to get wet buy a neoprene suit shirt whatever it'll be water tight.

Amazon sent me an email to answer this and I can't but I can say that the wetsuit is thick enough to work. We went to lake Michigan this summer and the water was very cold (I never went in) but my incredibly wussy, wimpy daughter did and was warm enough in it! :)

Probably M for Tri swimming. Lengthwise M is the right size but you may feel too tight. But it has to be tight so that no water flowing through.Hope it stretch out after using for a while.

See their size convention chart. Size usually runs a little smaller. Sometimes it will shrink if you do not wash in cold water.

This shirt will not stop you from swimming, and assuming your arms move normally without the shirt, they should function just as well with this shirt on. However, I should caution that this shirt will NOT cure your arms if they do not currently move normally, nor will it teach you to swim if you are currently unable.A more serious answer, this shirt feels great, like a typical base layer shirt that is a bit snug.

It will keep you warmer than going bare. I do work out in a warm pool but it is below body temp. The surrounding air is cold. This keeps my arms and shoulders from getting cold. Order the size you wear and this shirt is longer. It is supposed to fit tight. The zipper up the front helps with getting in and out of 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.
