Advice needed! Feeling cold during swimming lessons

[i3mum]

Hi tamarind,


No I m not using the thermal suit. Mine is normal thin material. I was thought the thermal ones seem quite \"obstructive\" for certain strokes?
Maybe I will get one & try it out!

Thanks!

i3mum,
Just curious. Are you using the Liferacer thermal suit ?

The material for the body is thicker than normal swimsuit, it really does keep my boy warm. I have seen those long sleeves type made of thin material, I don't think those will work.

If your kids are wearing Liferacer and still feel cold, I think you should just move them to early afternoon when the sun is hot. 6pm is too late.

i3mum,

The Liferacer thermal swim suit is body hugging, it is not obstructive

Hehe thanks, somehow my impression was it will be obstructive.. I will get one to try it out.

Even in heated pools babies can get cold quite quickly, so the soft neoprene fabric that fits snugly around baby’s body creates a warm, loving hug. It makes them feel safe and secure, and most importantly, keeps them warm. It’s easier for parents too as the fabric ensures you keep a firm grip on your baby.

My boys get cold too. The life racer thermal doesn’t help! Maybe I’ll try hot Milo next time.

Ok thanks, will try it out

6 and 3. But I suspect the pool is extra cold. It's always shaded and very windy. It's so hard to convince DS1 to get in the pool coz he gets cold. I wish I knew what to do!

[i3mum]

Yes I think so too! For me I think it's the timing, 6pm is abit late. I wished I can change to another earlier timing, but it's hard to find a good coach.

Just to share what my kids' swimming coach used to advise me on the life racer thermal. He said when buy the thermal, buy the exact size. If you buy slightly bigger, it will not be so fitting, thus the effects will not be so good. Normally for us parents, we will tend to buy bigger size for our kids cos they outgrow very fast, but for the life racer thermal, it is supposed to be fitting, so if too big, water can easily go in and it will makes them feel cold.
