As long as it is tight fitting, I think this would be perfect for keeping you warm while swimming laps!

It's not as thin as a rash guard but is perfect for me. I don't put my face in the water but do swim back and forth with ease. I think you'll really like it!!!

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.

Absolutely. One of my smartest purchases for water. Believe it or not it does help keep you warmer and I get compliments on it , got the hot pink!

It will help but mine stretched out hugely from the pool chemicals within a short time.

I have bought 2 of them to protect myself from the sun but do know they are good on colder days so would think they would be ok for swimming.

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.

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

Yes it is thin enough to be worn under both t-shirts and sweatshirts. As long as the space your working in is not "crowded" by obstacles you can get full arm motion while working out. I needed it primarily because I had bad tendonitis in my upper arm ironically, and needed its help even when swimming. Note: the velcro strap didn't like the chorinated pool water in long workouts, but then I expected that.

Our pool is only 18ft and it works well for our size, but I have no way of knowing if it would generate enough warmth for a 24ft pool. You could try using one panel and if it doesn't keep the water temp comfortable, you could add another panel, but that obviously takes up more space and more money. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I'd definitely say yes! I've done a lot of laps in mine, and I've never felt cold.

A dive skin might be better than a wetsuit for lap swimming. However, I did a lot of diving with this and found it to be very comfortable and 'effortless,' so lap swimming might be okay if you are willing to strain your muscles slightly against its natural tendency to spring back to neutral position. The size is perfect for me - it is a size 14 and I am a size 14/16.

Temp wise, it doesn't hold a ton of heat like I have seen complaints with other brands. You should look into ones with the cooling gel if you like being cold.

I bought this for my son but in an adult size I think it would be very comfortable to swim laps in. Rash guards are great for that .

This shorty works well for warm water, but would require layering for cold water.

The palm is thick, the top is neoprene. We use them to water ski, so we don't deal with cold all that much. We use them for blisters. I would think they would help with cold, tho. We use wetsuits when the water is cold, and you still feel the cold of the water, it's just that the wetsuit holds the water on your skin and your body heat warms warms it and keeps you warmer. I would think these would do the same. At least you know they are for the water and they dry quickly.

I would say no. I bought it for water aerobics at the 'Y'. It's OK for that, but I wouldn't expect it to make me warm in very cold water. Hope that helps.

Sorry, I like to be hot and I have had to run in frigid temperatures lately. I have not had these long enough to know how they behave in warmer temperatures. Based on my experience with other brands as well, they are no different in terms on how much I sweat. The support is excellent though. Hope this helps

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.

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.

I think they would be too thick for that. Look for something thinner. They are also kind of stiff and would be uncomfortable for that kind of use. They are good, I wanted a heavier pair to wear when it is colder. I forgot that once I get going the cold does not matter.

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