I am a modest person and I don't like restrictive swimwear, you know-straps that cut into my shoulders.  I've been wearing this tee-shirt for pool workouts and it is comfortable, it stretches with me not against me and can be machine washed (I use the gentle cycle).  I am going to buy another Surf Swim Shirt very soon.  I recommend this shirt for pool therapy if you don't like bathing suits.
