Rash Guards/swim shirt

I am regularly lap swimming in an outside pool that is too cold for me. I do have a "rash guard" but it doesn't seem to provide that much warmth. Any ideas? Can anyone recommend a shirt that will keep me warm and still be lightweight and flexible? I swim one mile in about 50 minutes. I know if I swam faster, I could stay warm. But it is the initial immersion that is so cold, and it takes me about 25 lengths to not be thinking about being cold. I am slim. Appreciate comments on this. Thanks.

  • Approach it like a cold open water swim. Add wetsuit, neoprene cap under your latex cap, aquasox, neoprene gloves, etc. until you are warm. People on this forum may make fun of you for using these things, so distract them with dancing bananas :banana::banana::banana::banana:
