Buying Considerations
Women's swim gear includes suits for racing, fitness, surfing, water polo, and lifeguarding. Racing, training and lifeguard swimsuits feature one-piece styles with straps that cross in the back for comfort and freedom of motion. Choose this style if you plan to play water sports and need a sturdy suit that stays in place. Surfing and active suits come in a two-piece design with bright, fun colors. These suits feature halter tops or tying straps that combine style and convenience. Choose this style for a relaxing day at the beach.
Jammers for men are ideal for competitions as they fit snugly and reduce drag. Briefs are also good for racing, providing minimal coverage and allowing for total freedom of leg motion. Swim trunks and board shorts hang to the knee and fit loosely for maximum comfort. Wear trunks when you plan to swim for recreation.
Tips & Expert Advice
If you are a lap swimmer, you need compact goggles with silicone-injected seals to keep the water out. Larger goggles are great for divers, because they provide a wider range of vision and generally have stronger frames. Make sure your goggles fit snugly and form a tight seal without being constricting. Polarized lenses are ideal for outdoor swimming. At DICK'S, you'll find a wide selection of swim goggles from top brands like Zoggs, Nike and more.
Swim caps keep long hair out of your face, reduce friction in the water and protect your hair from chlorine damage. Choose from latex and silicone caps, both of which are ideal for racing and training.
