Does anyone recommend a particular rash guard for lap swimming ? I tried wearing an under armour shirt but it chafed my neck… Thanks !

Where are you getting a rash??? I’ve swum all my life with no rashes to date.

I don’t have a rash. I was wanting to wear a shirt while swimming and was courteous as to what other people would recommend. Looking for one that won’t chafe my neck.

Why would you wear a shirt while at the pool?

Do you swim outside and you’re trying to avoid sunburn???

Wearing a t shirt while swimming (may look stupid) adds an insane amount of drag. I have used the old t shirt trick from time to time. As a matter of fact when I swam on a club team in my teen years we used to swim with long sleeve t-shirts. I have also swam relays in practice while wearing sweat pants and a sweat shirt. Now that sucks

try using a cotton tshirt and cut off the collar. Some people can get shoulder probs, consider also cutting off the sleeves if you feel shoulder constriction.

Interesting. I just posted a thread just like this. I use a BodyGlove short sleeved but now that we’re heading into summer I’m looking for a long sleeved one. I’ve not had chafing with my BodyGlove FWIW.

let me see if I can find my thread. I got a good number of responses… just a sec…
