Or to put it another way, if you saw someone wearing a wetsuit during toddler splash at your local pool, would you think "twat"?
DH and the DCs adore swimming, and we love doing it as a family, except I get sooooo cold that it completely ruins the experience for me. I can manage half an hour tops, and right from the start I am counting down until I can escape to the warm showers. DCs are still too small and can't swim well enough for me to just watch from the sidelines, plus I don't like not being involved.
DH thinks a wetsuit is the solution - I'm talking a shorty one, ideally with short sleeves too, not a full body one! But I still think I'll get too many stares for comfort. Not sure I have the guts to fully own the look.
(It doesn't help that DH - bless him - actually went as far as buying me one online, but when it arrived it was a lovely poo brown, so we sent it back on the basis I would look like a huge turd floating in the pool)
Verdict please MN. Or other solutions to the freezing my tits off in pool problem...
