Do these work well as swimming trunks?

if you use an underwear beneath it , i'm sure they could work well as swimming trunks.

Hmm-m-m-m. . . I love thinking outside the box! Yes, I THINK these would work for that. They're stretchy, would cling to your feet, and offer a measure of protection from debris in the sand and heat. I don't know if they would keep the sand completely out though. Don't know what to say about size, except that I take between an 8 1/2 and 9, got a large, and it was a bit big (but no problem for swimming with fins).

Might be too small, but they do have two snaps on the back, so they may possibly fit if you use the last snap. Worth a try! They're really great, absorbent and waterproof.

If it is a large downpour, yes. They are better than most I have seen with repelling the water and drying pretty fast. We try to keep our turned over if we know it is going to rain. I love the ones that I got (floral print)

I use mine in the fall and winter to get in and out of my kayak without getting my feet wet and cold. They are waterproof so I'm not sure they would work well for your purpose. Might look into water shoes specifically made for pool use.

I've never used them for swimming. I only use them for sleeping. There's only one way to find out if they work while swimming. Good luck.

I think they would work for that purpose. There is always plenty of extra room with the Velcro when I wear them on the bottom of my pants legs.

Unless your child is soaking in a slush puddle, these bibs should work. Allow for extra room underneath for long johns, flannel pj's or even jeans. As long as your child's active, these should do the trick.

My husband and I wear ours daily in our pool. If we "should" I can't answer. However, I will say they do fine with our water exposure.

Yes, of course they can be used for deep water walking, but make sure your head remains above this 'deep water'....... :D

Yes they do, i would recommend them for cruising and freestyle, they are lightweight.

It should work, they stretch good enough for movement but not as much too loose its shape. You should be ok since they fit snugly.

The pair that i had didn't make it three good months and I only used them for working out but I sweat a lot more than the average person . My thought is if they couldn't handle the occasional sweat they may not hold up good for swimming . Maybe I had a bad pair. I liked them enough to buy another pair .

I don't see how these pants can help you improve floating. That should be more about technique that you can consult with a swimming coach ;-) !!

Yes. My daughter and I have been using them 2-4 times a week all summer and they work great. Makes the lap swimming go by much faster.

I would say no. I haven't tried them in water, but the materials do not seem waterproof at all.

They are a material more like swimming shorts. Cotton would easily rip at the seams when doing full-range movements like you would expect to do in these shorts. This fabric allows much less restricted movement. Better than cotton for that purpose.
