I've asked around in my knitting groups and my chainmaille groups. If seen people who make bikini tops from scale maille and they have no issues with salt or chlorine water. As for the yarn, I was told as long as it is 100% cotton, it won't absorb the water or cause any weight issue, so it would b no heavier then it is out of the water. I've yet to test this out myself as the one I made is not with the correct yarn. But I also make scaled arm warmers and I plan to make a water safe pair soon for testing
I also ant to experiment with things like hemp rope and fishing nets and whatnot to knit with and see how that works out.
