Yes, give it a try. You might enjoy it.
I wear hooded clothing almost all the time, even when I go into the water. When I was a child, I grew up in India, and my parents always ensured I was protected from sunburn. They made sure I always swam in clothes with the hood up. Soon, my friends began to swim in hooded clothes too, encouraged by their parents. So, swimming in jeans, a tee, and a hoodie is quite normal for us.
For pools where clothing is not permitted in the water, I wear a full-body Lycra suit with a hood. That too feels wonderful, almost like swimming naked but being gently caressed by the water as it flows through the suit.
Swimming in clothes outdoors is very sensible, but it's often only done by wise folks who understand how to stay safe in the sun. I just love it and so do my friends with whom I splash around.
Stay safe, stay happy!
