Would this suit be okay for swimming in a triathlon or lake?

This is a good suit. You'll like it. Sizes tend to run small. Very flexible and would be good for swimming or tri

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

Absolutely! Very flexible yet thick enough to keep your body warm. I love mine. I got my kids the same brand... No issues. Great buy for price

Although I've never participated in a swimming triathlon I see no reason why you cannot. I'm a scuba diver. The suit helps insulate body heat as well as helps with aerodynamics while under water. It seems reasonable that it would be suitable for lake use. Hope this helps.

I wear mine for kayaking and getting in the water with temperatures in the low 40's. I live in VA. I love the suit, just takes time to break it in with the right fit. You might be able got with a 3mm and 2mm sleeves. For the price I could not beat it.I hope this helped.

It was a gift and the recipient has yet to swim with it, but that was a big selling point for me since it would be used in triathlon. According to all of the specs it is rated for water, I just wouldn't use it is you're a scuba diver.

I use it for surfing only, good suit at a good value. Size may run on the small side.

It stays pretty secure on my knee if fitted properly even when I am pouring with sweat. I suggest you carefully consider the size you get to make sure it is right. As far as swimming I would assume it would stay still.

Does it? This suit is awesome. I usually sweat in it during the kayak trips. I've fallen in the thefrigid rivers and it has keep me from freezing. I also have the waterproof boots and gloves to go with itfor added thermal protection.

This is a pretty expensive suit to be running around on dinghies. Though it is strudy (not fragile), I could see you catching it on sharp items. You could probably buy 50 - 100 throw away rain suits for the price of this drysuit. Otherwise, the drysuit should do the job. I'd just be nervous catching it on something. Good luck.

Yes. It's great.. I use it all summer long and out water in it and it covers me fine.

I use it for playing disc golf in heavy rain. It's a real waterproof rain suit, not a lightweight water resistant type suit.

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?

I would think not. The suit is bulky, and probably not too comfortable during a golf swing. But I must say that I am not a golfer. I use the suit when I pressure wash the house.

I am 5'9 170 lbs, size 33 waist and the large is perfect fit for distance swimming. You will feel snug in this size out of the water, but I emagine once in the water you will be fine. I love this suit.

I love this suit. Provides coverage I wanted but doesn't inhibit movement. Has held up very well to swimming 3x week

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

You will get wet. The vest is a good option for warmer water. A jacket is good for cooler water. I recommend not buying any item from wetsuit wear house unless you like sewing it yourself.

As long as you use it within the confines of what it says from the manufacturer, it should be okay. i only ever use mine when i run or am in the gym, it is sealed from sweat. and has been great in pouring rain. have never gone to swim with it though...

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.

All wetsuits give a bit of buoyancy, if they are made of neoprene. A full suit 4 mm suit floats me entirely. my legs float up so it is hard to swim. With thin shorts, your butt will ride higher in the water when you swim. But NO THE SHORTS WILL NOT FLOAT WHOLE BODY. they might help your stroke if you have a heavy butt, though!
