Warm swimwear for 6 yr old

Posting here for traffic!! ...

DS has just turned 6 and just moved to big and very cold pool! He almost packed it in due to the cold (literally had blue lips for a good 20 minutes after coming out each time!) but then we found a little lightweight wetsuit and he's loving swimming again. He's in the pool at least twice a week so needs to b warm!

Problem is his swim teacher thinks the suits buoyancy is holding him back. I don't want him to be cold again as it'll put him off he one thing he loves. He's a good little swimmer too so I don't want to hold him back or annoy the teacher!

Any idea of WARM swim wear for small thin boys, that is NOT bouyant????

Thank you for any help!

Yes, it will have a huge effect on his buoyancy- it will give a false impression on what he can achieve. Sorry- swim teacher here.... suggest you try a Lycra long sleeve/short suit.
