Swimming in open water can be challenging enough as it without a poorly fitted wetsuit literally dragging you back.

Can i use wetsuit in swimming pool.

If you are using an outdoor pool in a cooler climate you may enjoy the warmth provided by a wetsuit. A wetsuit for swimming has different design features than one intended for scuba diving. Janice if the pool is not heated then at least a full 3 2 wetsuit. You can swim in a wetsuit in a pool especially if you are looking for some added buoyancy or warmth.

Still for active swimming a 3 2 full wetsuit should be enough. You should be able to move your arms without lots of pressure on your shoulders. There are suits made specifically for triathlons that are thinner and allow for more shoulder movement in freestyle swimming rather than the thicker ones geared more towards diving. If the water cools down to 40s and 50s thats pretty cold.

Yes but you can by washes that help ward against that. Try freestyle swimming in one of these diving suits and you will find that there is not enough freedom of movement in the shoulders and the legs have so much built in buoyancy that your kick strokes will be too high in the water and therefore not as effective. Swimming in your local pool and wild swimming in open inland waters as well as around coastal waters can be a chilly business. I know you meant air temperatues but a small body of water like a pool cools down faster than the sea.

Are there any sorts of wetsuits made for swimming laps in olympic sized indoor pools.
