Hi everybody, I'm a guy who loves to swim. I always wear shorts and a T-shirt to the beach or the pool. Don't ask me why; I simply don't know why it makes me feel more comfortable. Yes, I do get sunburned fast, but I also wear a shirt to the indoor pool. I'm pretty happy about the way I look, so it's not like I'm trying to cover up something. Are there more people who prefer to swim this way?

Well, thanks for the response so far. Why do I ask while I'm comfortable about it? Just curiousity, I guess. If there are more people around who swim in a shirt. Like I said, I'm happy about the way I look. I'm not fat (really skinny actually) and I'm cool with that.

well if your comfortable with it then why ask others?
but just to let you know...if you are swimming for leisure then it doesn't really matter. if you swim athletically then it makes a big difference. being in water, t-shirts and shorts can create a lot of drag so it makes it more difficult to swim. this is a great way to exercise muscles becase it takes more work to swim with all that on. this is why most pro swimmers tend to wear speedos in competition. the idea is the less you wear and the tigher it is the less drag you have which means you can swim faster.

There might be. There is a specail shirt that you can wear in the water so you don't get sunburn or something like that. But if someone doesn't want to buy it, you could just put a t-shirt on I suppose. My Dad put a t-shirt on and jumped into an pool before. No big. You don't have to though.

If you are having a good time swimming and are more comfortable wearing a shirt, then it is ok. Enjoy the water. Just be careful and follow the pool rules.

If you go to your local SCUBA shop you will see that they may have some speciall designed swimwear shirts that are really comfortable and block UV rays from the sun. I wear them while diving in warm waters and it makes it more comfortable when wearing my BCD. You can also use the same shirt for other activities like hiking,mountain biking etc etc. Below is a link to a scuba retail shop that may have just what you are looking for?!!! :)

Why not? My husband does too. If you'd like some cool beach / island style T-shirts to swim in, check out www.breezybeachwear.com and click on "apparel." It will re-direct you to Breezy Beach Wear's Apparel gallery at zazzle and you can check out the logos from there.
