Do the sleeves make it harder to swim?

No (though my daughter doesn't swim great yet). The sui wet suit is quite right and doesn't drag too much.

Not at all. They are rather tight. It really is like a thicker second skin. My little one has no trouble at all. She actually loves the suit because it keeps her warm when we kayak cold mountain waters.

My 3yo wears size 4 currently as Amazon only carried even-numbered sizes. It's a good fit though for her and she is a beginner swimmer (knows her basic strokes & swims unaided in pool for short distances). The sleeves have not been an issue. It really has kept her warm on the windy days and she can last 3x longer than before at the pool. Winner in my books.

In size 6 there was no problem with movements while swimming. And they are doing a lot of free style etc, no trouble at all. The smaller tighter size 4 was little uncomfortable in this way. Id say the way size 6 fits my kid is like on the picture of the girl for this item here on amazon.

Not that we've noticed. The sleeves are soft enough that the arms still have full range of motion.

Sleeves cut and attached to allow free arm and shoulder movement. Do not hamper swimming motion.

Yes they slip down on my bicep and ride up on my wrist. I have kind of a skinny arm though. So a man with muscles might have better luck keeping it in place. I'd recommend getting the sleeve with the thumb hole. Hope this helps!!

It does have an adjustable strap to allow you to tighten it. It still moves no matter your arm size, it is either too tight and restrictive or if you loosen it it moves. Also depends on how much you sweat are your wearing it over your sleeve short or long.

It makes it a bit thicker, but not hugely so. I think if the sleeve is somewhat loose it should still wit.

No, and this is a significantly negative factor if you are accustomed to padded arms. Plus, they slope away from you at an uncomfortable arc, so it can be a problem.

I use the rash guard to keep warm while doing aqua arobics. The water is supposed to be warm, but it is usually cold. Once out of the water I take it off because it does get cold then.

I dont necessarily feel water enter, but I do have an issue with air pockets. Even going to a smaller size, I still had sir pocket issues. With that said, it did help keep my upper body earmer. Very cold pool, I don't think it would provide enough warmth.

They are usually worn tight to help keep you warm in the water. It's stretchy but not like a spanx or that type of thing. It may help a bit though.

sorry, never tried to swim w/it. It doesn't have a problem w/sweat, if that helps.

I doubt it would work well for swimming...the fit isn't so great to begin with

No...you can't wear it while swimming. This particular model is not waterproof.

It's pretty hard to actually swim with this belt on. I would say it's for vertical activity - water exercises, underwater walking and running... It just keeps you buoyant, like a life preserver, only better.

It is not difficult to get into. Its very thin (1.5mm I think) so it isn't as stiff as one of those thicker wetsuits. The neck hole is small and tight when its on, but pulling it over your head is not hard. If you are needing to remove it quickly, as in doing a triathalon, the zipper is probably quicker. I just do swims, so I am not on a clock when removing it.

No, the sleeves are pretty tight because they are double-sided. I bought separate sleeves (not double-sided) which were able to accommodate liner notes.

It seems to breathe really well, but I live up in the Sierra Nevada and it's always dry, even when it's hot. The sleeves are pretty loose. They come down to the middle of my wrist or so. But I think I've got the sleeves figured out. They've got a velcro tab, and can be worn up really easily. Like you just slide them up above your elbow and pin the velcro. It's a different fit. Not like a regular Under Armour long sleeve for running. Everything works, but the whole combo takes a little getting used to. Hope this helps.

No. The sleeve goes in on a tilt. Water drains out the back to the outside.

No. The liner fits inside your existing pool. The sleeves are on the outside of your pool.
