Is this suit for swiming in cold waters?

Yes, that is the purpose, but everybody had different cold tolerance. This worked well for me in a spring about 70 degrees.

Yes it is, but its more for the spring and fall waters that are not real cold. Its been great for the spring, we'll see about the late fall.

As you can see from the photo of the suit, it is short sleeve and cut off just above the knees. The suit is for marginal temperatures thinking that most adults won't go in water that is below 70 degrees this suit will allow a reasonable dip with temps in the 60's. Your arms and legs and feet will still feel the cold but your core will be comfortable enough to spend some time in the water. It really depends on the swimmers sensitivity to cooler water. Hope this helps..................

No, not really cold water. Just uncomfortably cool water. My sons and husband use them when we go to the beach in November in Florida's panhandle.

The vest I ordered was too small and seemed very stiff. I doubt if you could swim in it because it basically keeps your head and shoulders out of the water; I guess, just as a lifejacket is suppose to do. I hope this helps you with your decision.

If I understand the question yes it does it is a suit that is great for the extreme cold.

I would think not, I use it for river rafting, but then I'm not in the water all the time. I think a thicker suit would be better for your described use. Of course that depends on where you are. On the Columbia River near Hood river, you might freeze?

It is heavy plastic so i suppose you could but infusion works best in cold water.

It is very warm so if you are at an indoor meet it just might be too warm. I use it to wear to and from swim practice early morning and late evening swims. Hope that helps. It is a great coat!

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

We are using it in the pool for the first few weeks of swim team. Our outdoor pool just opened, and our practices start next week, and I'm expecting it to still be to chilly to swim without something like this :) I just plan to make sure to rinse it after every practice.If you are asking if it will be too warm in the summer, I'm not sure about that. It would be warmer than just a regular swim suit.

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.

It does block out some of the cold from the water. I like it because it keeps me a little warmer while still allowing me to move freely in the water.

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

No it does not get cold in front. I have found it very comfortable to wear.

I have used this suit for my first 4 triathlons (spanning 3 years), and for training for them (in open water). I've used it in the summer in lakes in inland Michigan and Illinois, in Lake Michigan, and in the ocean in northern California. I find I'd want sleeves for water colder than 60 deg. F, and may buy another suit. It has held up very well (no issues with suit, zippers, etc.).

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.
