    Hello all,

    I just started my 3time/week swim routine. I will be a
    bridesmaid in a few months. No matter how much sunscreen I
    put on, the dark/white pattern starts to show up on my back
    and shoulder. So I'm looking for a swimsuit with sleeves. I
    went to local sports store and searched online. I only found
    sth called rash guard which is used between the skin and the
    wetsuit. Can u use rash guard + a bikini bottom as the
    swimsuit? Underwear necessary? The material looks very thin!

    Experienced swimmers please give some input. What other
    choices do I have? What's the difference between swimsuit
    and bathing suit? Any with sleeves?

    Thanks a lot! Anxiously waiting for any suggestions!

    Tiffany

    Tiffany, What about using one of the tee-shirts that have an
    spf--they are sold by kayaking outfitters, etc.? You could
    put it on over your swimsuit. Madelaine

    I have the exact same problem. I normally swim in a
    conventional "speedo", but when outside and exposed to sun,
    I will add a lycra shirt. This can either be a wetsuit liner
    or a thing called a "watershirt" I bought from Kiefer.com
    several months ago. These, of course, will slow me down a
    bit. Another possible solution is to check the wetsuit
    section of a triathlon gear site or catalog. These often
    have two piece wetsuits with the parts sold separately and
    in varying thickness.

    Get a spray tan before the event? Or buy a home
    tanning cream?

    Thanks a lot! I'll look into rash guard. I'm new to the
    water sports so not very familiar with all these. Does she
    wear rash guard on top of regular swimsuit or just rash
    guard only? If just rash guard, need any underwear?

    Thanks, Tiff

    One of my girls has a problem with irritation due to our
    less then wonderfull pool chem + acne meds. She swims most
    of our workouts with a rash guard and seems to be fine
    with it.
