Chillcheater's thin, long-legged and long-armed Aquatherm stuff is designed 
for just such activities in the water, and is very thin - and have a 
pleasant price, compared to other, high-quality, stuff! 

Often used by the cine crowd, in Hollywood and the UK, to prevent 
the actors to get too chilly to act - in and out of the water!
