Smile Wet Suit Shorty/Wet Suit Jacket in cooler weather

I realize our pools in TV should be heated during the cooler months, however, the water is still cool and the air temps could be even cooler. My question: does anyone, who participates in water activities during these cooler months, wear a wet suit jacket or a wet suit shorty? If so, what brand would you recommend and is it true to size? TYIA for the info. 😀

Nope, you are dry going in so no problem. Getting out some have swim coats. 50-55 is my lowest temp. Once swim laps, grab my towel, take a warm shower, dry hair dress and go. Never seen anyone with a wet suit how could you ever swim laps.

Many people wear a top during cooler months. Either a true wet suit or a long sleeved UV shirt. I don’t need one, save the wetsuits for diving.
Google “water aerobics suit cool weather”

If water was chilly, I used to wear a dive skin. It's a lycra bodysuit that usually goes on under a wetsuit to ease sliding in and out of them. They can be worn by themselves. Great for snorkeling!
