I want to use this as a swimwear in an outdoor pool. Does it work for my purpose? Do I need to wear a swimwear under it anyway?

It's not see through at all but it fits like a glove leaving nothing to the imagination if you know what I mean

I would think so, I however, wear mine in a pool in water 9' or more, and it does keep me on top of the water. As far as bulky wear, I suppose it may be a bit less bulk around the waist only compared to a full life vest...I never thought of wearing it while I kayak! Thanks for asking the question Marvin!

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

no your skin will be wet but it will keep you warmer then if you were just wearing a bathing suit.

it's not designed for true outdoor use but it might work if you can seal up both items. You could possibly seal it a small zip-lock back to keep water out of it, but if it has direct exposure to sunlight (or heat or cold) it might cause it to have some issues.

you could try it. it is not waterproof. it is very comfortable. i like the front zipper. never was a fan of the zipper on back of the wetsuits i used while skiing and tubing altho i understand why. i use mine for hunting as a 2nd layer. i wear thermal underwear (long-johns) top and bottom and then this over that, generally. it worked well. i guess it would depend on your personal preference and if you want this suit directly against your skin

I love the vest in water temps between 72-78. I don't know if it would keep you warm in water below that. it probably would, I just don't know for sure. Water does not come in through the arm holes.

might be a bit bulky for that, but I just wear it outside because it helps so much. With jeans/pants I wear a shirt over it but, I think for the most part, it would be a bit bulky for under clothes

You would need to wear something under them. There are meant as a waterproof outer layer only ( in my opinion)

I would think it would work well. The material is similar to a wet suit or neoprene waders.

I wear it outside and while swimming. I think it is fine in shower, doing dishes, including he rain, and in the pool.

I had baby swim trunks, so I wore them over this swim diaper. But a bathing suit isn't needed. Without the trunks, he would have just been sporting the baby *speedo* look. :)I put it in the wash with the rest of the baby clothes, but then hung it up to dry.

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.

I do not think this is a very good fabric for swimsuits, but it might work. Lining will be needed.

I use mine for doing laps in the pool in the winter. Even though I am inside sometimes the pool is still a little on the cool side. Keeps me nice am warm. Also I bought the men's shirt because the sleeves are a little longer than the women's and fits a lot of better.

This shirt will not stop you from swimming, and assuming your arms move normally without the shirt, they should function just as well with this shirt on. However, I should caution that this shirt will NOT cure your arms if they do not currently move normally, nor will it teach you to swim if you are currently unable. A more serious answer, this shirt feels great, like a typical base layer shirt that is a bit snug.

I was on the road when I answered this earlier and said "no". I got home and put water on the fabric and it beaded up and rolled off. I have only worn it as an undergarment but would not want to get it wet while it is warming you so my answer no is I am not sure.
