Buying Considerations
Jammers and men's briefs are ideal for competitions, as they are made of nylon and spandex fabrics that allow for full range of leg motion and cut down on drag. Square leg swimsuits are designed to add resistance, making them optimal for training. Square leg suits provide the coverage of a jammer with the freedom of a brief. Briefs offer minimal coverage for total freedom of movement in the water. Unisuits are designed for triathletes. They provide full coverage, promote enhanced performance and offer compression in the leg portion of the suit.
Women's one-piece racing suits provide full coverage for comfort and a sleek look. Two-piece suits with thin straps and a higher rise are designed to minimize tan lines during outdoor training sessions. Tank swimsuits are designed for casual swimming or water aerobics, as they feature thicker straps and a higher neckline. The neck to knee style swimsuits are designed for intense competitions. They are made from technical fabrics that reduce drag, increase durability and help you move more efficiently.
Nike warm-up suits will help keep your muscles warm between events, and are a great option for before and after practice or training.
Tips and Expert Advice
For casual swimmers who want a comfortable fit, consider Nike swimwear designed for aquatic fitness. With thicker straps, built-in bras and higher necklines, these Nike swimsuits offer support and comfort. Competitive swimmers looking to reduce drag, nylon and spandex fabrics smooth the body's shape with a tight fit. Look for chlorine-resistant fabrics that reduce sagging, bagging and fading.
Technical fabrics offer an even bigger speed advantage for serious swimmers. These high-tech materials use compression technology, which reduces form drag by streamlining the body's shape. Technical fabrics are water-resistant, which helps you to move more efficiently through the water.
Whether you play water polo, swim competitively or do water aerobics, you'll want a reliable pair of swim goggles to protect your eyes. Consider polarized lenses if you'll be swimming outside and a split strap to hold the goggles in place.
