Question

Why do some people reckon it's odd to wear a T-shirt when you swim?

Answer 1

Because, you are alot slower, your shoulders are restricted, and unless you really dont want to show your body, dont weawr one

no offense, just my opinion

Answer 2

Because they think that your self conceisnce of your weight or something like that. I dunno. I like your user name,but change it to T.I., You know? The rapper?

Answer 3

People think it's odd because they're silly.

Wearing a t-shirt when you swim either means you are modest, or self-conscious. I think people usually think it's self-consciousness.

I would rather wear a shirt, because I'm more comfortable in it, it's more modest, and yes, I am a little bit self-conscious. If I don't want people staring at my body, then I don't have to have them staring.

Answer 4

Because it is.  It sort of restricts your movements. I don't know, ever seen a shark wear a T-shirt? (just kidding).

Answer 5

Because it generally indicates low self-esteem and inexperience around a pool.

Answer 6

Because it's hard to move around with a heavy sack of wet cotton clinging to your body. Oof! If you want the extra sun protection, go for a rash guard-type shirt instead (such as surfers might wear), which will be a lot less difficult to wear in the water. I just use a lot of sunblock instead.  If you are trying to hide your body, a clingy wet shirt isn't going to accomplish that.

If you had some other reason for wearing it, I have no idea what it would be, so you should probably state what you are after instead of asking us what we're not after.

Answer 7

Wearing a shirt while swimming really weighs you down, restricts movement and is really uncomfortable.

Answer 8

it isnt odd , if you dont want people to see your gut wear a shirt , its a public service
