Answer 4

how old is he? and if hes really skinny its jus he does not have enough body fat. if hes not.. he may have anemia...lack of iron in the blood makes the body get cold faster....get him checked

till then have him wear some clothes or swim when the sun is out

Answer 5

Honestly, i have no idea.

Maybe he does not  have enough body fat?

If this continues as he grows older, i would DEFINITLY see a doctor.    

but sometimes when you get in a swimming pool, or DO get cold,.       get him to swim around a bit more and see if that helps.    

please answer mine also,.

Answer 6

First of all is he going into the pool to just goof around or is he a competitive swimmer?

Just dive in and start swimming fast and you'll adjust to the temp of the water in less than a minute.
