Please forgive me for posting this in two different groups, but I feel
I will get the best aswer this way (sufring & triathalon).
I recently bought a house with a large pool and I want to take up
swimming laps for cardio and exercise. I live in central florida, but
my pool is still too cold to swim in. For a while, it has been in the
low to mid 60s. I was first thinking of thermal covers, and other ways
to heat my pool, but I decided the cheapest and most hassle free way
would be to get some type of wetsuit to warm me up just a tad.
I have been looking into triathalon wetsuits. I have never tried one
on. I see they come sleeveless and with sleeves. i understand these
are thinner than diving wetsuits and have better mobility. I also see
products geared for surfing, such as the O'neill Thermo-x vest or crew
shirt which is advertised as a thermal layering product, or the O'zone
Tech S/S, which is more of a rash and u.v. guard. Some of these are
sleeveless.
If I got one of these O'neill shirt thingys, would I be warm enough
just covering my torso? Maybe if it keeps me warm for just a little
while, the swimming will start to warm me up.
Thanks for any advice.
