Is it ok to wear this wet suit in pool with chlorine?

From what I've read online, you should not wear them in pools with chlorine. That being said, we bought the suit knowing we'd be using it weekly in a pool with chlorine. We needed a suit with full coverage. My son has worn his every week for 6 months to swim lessons in a pool with chlorine. We also wash it in the washing machine each week. The suit has held up with no problems.

Sure. I swam laps in the pool with mine. Just be sure to rinse it well. The chlorine is hard on it.

Hyperwear is aware of some people using it in a pool, but we have not tested over time and would not cover that use under our one year limited warranty. After any use we recommend rinsing with water in a sink (weights can be left in). Then lay the vest on a towel and roll it up to wring the moisture out. Then hang it to dry.

I don't know of anything that's chlorine proof, but I can say that I use mine almost daily in a public chlorinated pool and it lasts at least 6-9 months. I swim about 1 hour a day and so it gets a lot of use -- in fact my O'Neill Swim shirts last longer, and keep their elasticity better, than my bathing suits usually do. I wouldn't ever want to go without one.

Hi Roberta, You will need to use 2 capfuls per suit per wash. Cleans and removes (or greatly reduces) chlorine from pool swimming. I found this product works well.

I haven't gotten this suit wet because I'm using it in a dry location, but my guess would be NO to both questions. The suit seems to be made out of some sort of strong, coated, paper-like material. It's 100% high density polyethylene and NOT heat resistant. I think either an autoclave or washing with water would destroy it. It MIGHT be able to be dry cleaned but I haven't tried that yet. It is disposable.

I did and it was fine but I have a salt water pool, I'm not sure how it would hold up to chlorine though

It is a wet suit not a dry suit so you will still get wet. I am not sure how flexible it is for "real" swimming. We used them to basically float around while snorkeling, for which they worked great and kept us warm.

I wore it in the ocean. It's a nice suit. Snorkle three times last week in it. Good bang for your buck.

Supposedly used in place of washing. I washed my suit after soaking anyway. It does seem to remove 90% of the chlorine smell.

Taking this into the ocean does not sound safe, especially with children. We only have used it in the pool

I would say absolutely not. Waaaaay too much chlorine and chemicals in the pool water.

Short answer: No.....water resistant to one meter for 30 mins and specifically states in manual "not intended to be used while swimming".

That is exactly what I did, and it works just fine. I spoke with an employee at the pool store and he said there should be some chlorine in the pool. The system will maintain levels. So far I have been quite happy with system. Make sure you buy a water conditioner, so calcium doesn't build up so fast on the salt cell.

Yes it should be fine. I am guessing you are worried about it being damaged by the sweat. I have not had any issues with it when I work out and sweat or even when I use it around the pool or water. So it should be fine.

YES!!! This suit holds up to chlorine & bromine. I have had 3 of them. All black in color. Fading is very min. This suit fits skin tight. That is why I have 2 different sizes. After swimming laps for a few months. I needed a smaller size...I became toned! Very important for lap swimming...this suit holds EVERYTHING in PLACE. No bottom shaving needed & I have size D breast, no top popping out! I am 5'2" & 147 lbs. I wear a size 12 in this suit. When I go down from swimming...I have a size 8 that works just as well.

Technically yes but I have to ask - are you chlorinating the inflatable pool? This prevents the sun from burning off the chlorine in the water so it doesn't make sense to use it unless you are chlorinating. Also, be aware that this is an acid and will lower ph which can cause skin irritation if you let it get too low. If you use trichlor pucks to chlorinate - stabilizer is already in them.
