| Except rash guard shirt has uv protection, can a boy wear dri-fit shirt to the beach or pool or water splash park? |

| My DS has worn both and prefers the feel of the rash guard when swimming. |

| Yes, but rash guard may be more comfortable. |

| Not only the UV protection, the rash guards, IMO, are less stretchy and are less likely to get air pockets/bubbles under the shirt which are a pain in the water. I've worn both, including a dri-fit shirt when I didn't have a rash guard available. The dri-fit shirt is more stretchy and adds a bit of drag when swimming. The rash guards are less stretchy and a lot more comfortable in the water. If I have a dri-fit shirt, I often just take it off and swim without it and then put it back on when I get out of the water because it will dry fast. |

| DS has been wearing his rash guard all day at camp. It is light weight and decreases he need for sun screen on the arms. His choice, we have a tshirt in his backpack if he wants to change |
