Goal is to eventually do triathalons.

[episodic]

I've been biking. I'm good at it now.

I want to add swimming to the mix. I am a gym member where there is a pool. One problem I have is lots of loose skin (you may have seen my other thread) from weight loss. What kind of shirt can I wear in the pool that won't look stupid and will perform well. I'm a little self conscious to go shirtless at this point.

Thanks for advice.

Just get a triathlon top. It's a form-fitting lycra-ish tank top, made to be worn the entire event. So it fulfills both your requirements.

And from a former fatty, just stay focused on the goal and start small. I did my first sprint triathlon last summer (well, the run and bike, because I'm a terrible swimmer so we did a relay), and looking to do a bunch more this summer (swim included!).
