As the weather cools we would like to continue our water volleyball. Several have suggested wet suits. Anyone have any suggestions about effective suits that don't cost too much?

You don’t need a wet suit. Google rash guards. You can get a good one for about $35.

The pools are heated.

If you are swimming and submerged in the water you should never get cold. Playing volleyball, your wet upper body is out of the water and could easily get cold in the winter months.

make sure you get a thin one, and waterproof/closed cell neoprene on the outside, which will keep the wind from cooling your suit.

T&D pools on 466 next to Walgreens has jackets, vests and suits. You can try them on for fit, they should be tight on you.

Check leasurepro.com, divers direct or scuba.com. i wound not recommend anything thicker then a 2.5mm shorty.

I also play WVB, and have purchased a long sleeve wet suit jacket on Amazon for $30 - $40. Going to a store to find out what size you need is a good idea. They will be tight when you put it on, but once you're in the water they're suddenly bigger.

I used a jacket for water walking but found that water still gets up inside and when it's chilly out (think stiff breeze)...and it will in Dec., Jan., Feb. you will get chilled once you get out. It's up to each one if they want to try it. Yes, the pools are heated BUT you can't enjoy that part when 1/2 your body is out of the water PLUS they're only heated to the low 80's.

Amazon but run small but you can return easy for different size

If you go with a neoprene garment (fullsuit, shorty, jacket, etc), be sure you wash/rinse the garment after each use. The chlorine in the pool will deteriorate the neoprene. Yes...salt water pools still contain chlorine.

I've taught scuba diving for 40+ years. I've owned several wet suits and found that none of them have provided me with my expectations of warmth. Maybe being from the gulf coast of Texas has me accustomed to a particular temperature. I took a class to Santa Ana, Ca in February one time and with a full body suit (head cover, etc) I thought I was going to freeze to death. So, I would suggest renting one from a dive shop to see if it is something that works for you. There is a dry suit, too. I have no experience with that but I hear they can get too hot unless you are diving in the artic.

You do not need a wet suit, skins work great for your need, easy on and off also! Check at any diving supply or on line.
