You have decided to buy a swimsuit for the pool and can not make the right choice? When buying, first evaluate the functionality of the upgrade.
Nice sports swimsuit:
- Rather fused than separate. With active training, the bodice of a separate swimsuit can be untied or flown off the body. These swimsuits are suitable only for small sports loads. One-piece bathing suit is safer and keeps on the body much better. But if you really like separate swimsuits and do not accept fusion - dare, buy a swimsuit to your taste.
- Does not constrain movements and does not expose a trunk at sharp waves of hands.
- It has large straps, and the back is closed - in this case, you can train with comfort and not be afraid that the swimsuit will slip from you.
- It does not have extra accessories and decorations - beads, ribbons, buttons.
- Well supported chest due to sewn or removable cup. Or securely fixes the chest with wide straps and thick fabric.
- Made from quality material.
- Fits tightly to the body. If your swimsuit is big for you, the straps will disperse during professional workouts, if the size is too small, the swimsuit “squeaks” into the body. The size of the swimsuit is designed for average growth, so tall girls need to buy models that are larger by size and smaller, by contrast - one smaller size.
- Seams imperceptible, quality processed, threads and elastic bands do not stick out. To check whether the swimsuit is stitched with quality, stretch the fabric next to the seam: if there are holes in the stitches, the swimsuit is stitched poorly, it will serve you very little and quickly “spread out”. It is better not to take it.
When buying, it is advisable to try on a new thing. A bathing suit should not reap, rub, fabric can not wrinkle and too tight. It is in the right swimsuit that your workouts will be most productive.
Materials
The most important criterion when choosing a swimsuit for the pool is a strong fabric from which the product is sewn. For regular classes need a very high quality material. Chlorine, which is used to clean pools in Russia, can ruin the fabric of a swimsuit, and it will lose an attractive look.
When buying, carefully study the designations on the label of the swimsuit, so you will learn what the product is sewn from. What badges can be there?
- Pes - polyester. Material for the most inexpensive swimsuits for the pool, which quickly wear out in the pool water due to its low quality.
- Co - cotton. Cotton swimsuits are the softest and most eco-friendly, they are pleasant to wear, but bleach is the cruel enemy of cotton material. Such bathing suits under its influence turn yellow, stretch, change their original shape.
- El - elastane. Excellent material for swimsuits, products made of it are durable, keep their shape well and dry quickly.
- Sp - spandex. According to the characteristics similar to elastane - swimsuits are also smooth to the touch, durable, have high quality.
- Pa - polyamide. Soft swimwear made of polyamide is not afraid of chlorinated water. In addition, they are quick-drying, and in combination with elastane or lycra, are considered one of the best options for training in the pool, characterized by high strength.
- Tac - tact. One of the most expensive materials, because swimsuits made from this fabric are considered “breathable”. In addition, they are very soft, dry quickly and do not stretch.
- Ny - nylon.The material is used primarily for sports models of swimsuits, due to the high elasticity. In addition, it has a soothing effect and fits the body well.
- Microfiber - soft and smooth to the touch products are sewed from it, which quickly dry after training, let in air well. In them, the skin really "breathes", but the cost of such swimwear is quite high.
A good composition for swimming is 80% polyamide and 20% lycra (or elastane). Another option is 55% polyamide and 45% PBT. PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) is not a fabric, it is part of the composition that is integrated into the material, so the tag may simply indicate elastane or polyester. PBT swimwear is more dense, but smooth and pleasant to the touch, with high strength and resistance to chlorinated water.
“Ly” on the label means the amount of lycra in the material of this product, which helps not to overstretch and maintain shape. As a standard, a bathing suit contains about 10% lycra. Some slimming swimsuits may contain 2 times lycra -20%. If the label indicates that the lycra in the material is more than 30% - this is not a very good option for a purchase, such a swimsuit does not allow air to pass through, which adversely affects the skin.
Chlorine in the pool can have a negative effect on the elastic in a swimsuit, it “eats away” as it were. Therefore, it is better for athletes to buy a suit, where instead of rubber bands there is a fabric treated with an overlock.
Today, stores offer us swimsuits from all the above materials, try not to make a mistake and purchase a really high-quality product.

Separate models for training are used less frequently. They usually consist of a closed sports top with large straps or a bodice with strong elastic bands. The bottom of the suit is shorts or panties with a good elastic band.
Children's models
Children's sports swimsuits are usually monophonic, their fabric is denser than that of women's swimsuits, this prevents them from slipping during workouts. For the same reason, swimsuits for girls are more often released in one piece, because children usually move even more actively than adults.In addition, a one-piece swimsuit protects a large surface of the skin from bleach, which can be harmful to children.
When buying, you need to correctly determine the required dimension. Unlike adult swimsuits, the size of the children is determined by the growth of the child. Therefore, it is necessary to know the growth of the girl, because she must be comfortable in a bathing suit. It is best to go shopping with a girl and measure outfit for the pool.
If this does not work out, it is advisable to take the child’s panties of the correct size with them and attach them to the product to be bought.
Swimsuit for a girl should be her size. If you buy a small swimsuit, it will begin to rub, crush, and when you buy "for growth" you can simply fall off the child. It is advisable for a boy to buy classic swimming trunks.

It will quickly change the brightness of the color, and your swimsuit in a couple of weeks will lose its original appearance. Noticeable, juicy colors will turn pale, and whites and milky ones may become yellowish. Too light with time can be completely transparent in water, because bleach gradually makes the material thinner. It is best to choose neutral or dark colors for a swimsuit so that the color change of the fabric is not too noticeable.
Decorative fittings may be present, the main thing is that during fast movements, it would never cling, scratch or rub the skin. Pay attention to what it is made of - plastic jewelry will gradually brighten, and plastic - will become dull.
