I did a couple times in my early teens when I was fat and self conscience

And then I grew 6 inches taller, lost the fat, and grew up.

They come in handy when snorkeling or when you are burned or about to burn.

I do if I'm out in the sun for multiple days. I'm also like Casper though.

At the pool or the beach?


Frick no. I don't watch what I eat and workout to not show my abs off on the rare occasions I get to

Not swimming beach or pool but snorkling both my wife and I wear 2mm Farmer John wetsuits so we can be out for hours without worrying about melting our backs. They also help with buoyancy. we used to wear rash guards but they don't have near the sun protection, and the wetsuit is nice because even in tropical water it starts to drain your heat after an hour or so.

No

No disrespect if you do but I only see fat people do that.

Or people who look like their parents dragged them out of their video game room and they’re porcelain white…. And. …. Fat….

Have a family history of skin cancer, multiple moles/abnormalities, kids are always wrestling with me in the pool, and I hate reapplying...so most of the time I will wear a shirt.

While at the beach i'll usually take the first couple of days to get a little color but after that I am spending more and more time in a dry fit shirt. i'm too old to be that miserable like a bad sunburn and try and mitigate it some.

reminds me of this

Depends. Being not fat I get cold in the water. I have a wetsuit vest I will wear if the water is cold. Always a sun shirt out of the water.

I don’t even wear a shirt on the walk to the pool, so no. I wouldn’t even know what to do in the water with a heavy shirt floating around me.

I hide under an umbrella and reapply SPF all day - not a sun fan. But also not a shirt fan.

Not when swimming but I do when sitting by beach or by the pool.

I’d like to be tan but it just isn’t good for your skin.

The only thing I can think of that would be less comfortable to swim in than a shirt is a pair of jeans.

Heck no I don't wear one. 30 or 50 SPF though, yes.

No. I go to the gym too many days a week to not be shirtless at every opportunity.
