Men's suits that cover stomach?

Hello all.

I posted a longer question about swimming with a continuous glucose monitor for diabetes in the health section, but this is a more general question related to my issue. Because of the CGM, I am trying to find a suit that would cover my stomach for lap swimming (to reduce friction over the CGM and patch, which has trouble staying stuck). Ideally, I'd like to find something that isn't a full-on wetsuit...however, since competition rules no longer permit men to wear suits that extend over the belly button, I haven't been able to find anything else. Is there anywhere that still manufactures/sells such a suit? For now, I just need something that I can practice in, since I swim daily, so I'm not worried that such a suit won't be legal for competition (without petitioning for an exception).

Thanks so much,

Jimmy

    There are all sorts of "rash guards" for surfers, kids and adults that are basically a pull over type tee shirt made for swimming and surfing in the water without creating much resistance or interference.. Most are lycra and stretchy, but others have up to 1-2 mm of insulation and fit tighter with less stretch.. A rash guard top can be taken off easier on the pool deck or beach than a one-piece tri-suit. However, they also make two piece tri-suits   .
