Sports swimwear for the pool

A healthy lifestyle is something that every person aspires to. Rapidly opening fitness clubs, gyms, swimming pools in every way urge us to pay attention to our lifestyle and add some physical activity to it. And if you do not lift weights or do aerobics due to health problems or age, swimming in the pool has no contraindications.

Swimming is a universal sport that combines a harmonious load on the muscles, develops flexibility and mobility of the joints and the spine, activates the metabolism and heart activity. This is the first sport that is recommended for young children. Now actively open swimming pools for babies. Is this not proof of the positive effect of swimming on the human body?

Visiting at least two or three times a week pool, you can tighten your figure, strengthen your abdominal muscles and back and just relax and relieve nervous tension after a hard day's work.

In addition, the advantage of swimming is also a minimum set of sports equipment. Swim or swimsuit, glasses and a cap - that’s the whole optimal set for practice. If you swim for the soul, then you can do without glasses. And some pools with a modern filtration system allow even the lack of a swimming cap.

Therefore, there remains only the choice of a swimsuit. But this is not a difficult task, because now any sports store has an excellent range that can satisfy both lovers of a healthy lifestyle and more professional swimmers. You only need to know a few rules for choosing a swimsuit.

These swimsuits are designed not for active swimming, but for parties around the pool or on the beach. Models are more like evening dresses, have numerous ornaments in the form of fringe, beads, embroidery and other elements. Swimsuit fabrics are usually more expensive and are not suitable for a long stay in the water, but beautiful pictures by the sea are provided to you.

This swimsuit in at least one copy is every woman of any age. And going on vacation, we often acquire more than one model. Beach swimsuits are very diverse. Designers offer a variety of shapes and colors. Separate and consistent, with cups and without them, monophonic and bright - any model is designed to emphasize the dignity of the female figure, and to hide the flaws.

In addition to the classic single and fused models, tankini has become popular in recent years. They are an elongated top with straps and panties or short shorts. This model is very convenient for those who like to play volleyball on the beach, as well as for those women who want to hide some figure flaws, but do not like solid models.

These swimsuits are rarely seen on the beach. They are more modest in colors and decorations, as their purpose is to make swimming comfortable. In a sports swimsuit, a woman should not think about how a swimsuit sits, and whether the strings will be untied. Swimsuit should help focus on the process itself.

• streamlined shape and a tight fit allows you to move better in the water, does not hinder movement, helps to improve athletic performance.
• the shape of the swimsuit is designed to meet the anatomical features of the female figure.
• the lack of zippers, ropes, buttons ensures that the swimsuit does not unfasten while moving.
• High-tech materials are used for sewing, which allow you to use a swimsuit for several seasons in a row.
• Special fabrics provide high elasticity, so that the swimsuit is quickly and conveniently worn and removed.

The materials used for the production of swimsuits for the pool and for the beach vary considerably. Sea water contains a lot of salt, and the bright sun affects us with the help of ultraviolet. Therefore, a beach bathing suit is made of materials that are resistant to sea salt and the influence of ultraviolet radiation.

The water in the pool is quite aggressive due to chlorine, which is used to disinfect the pool. Along with chlorine, ozone and ultraviolet light are used to disinfect water. Such chemical elements extremely negatively affect materials, quickly destroying them.

Probably, everyone noticed that after several visits to the pool in a beach swimsuit, it becomes translucent and inelastic. This is a consequence of the destruction of lycra under the influence of chlorine. Lycra (elastane) is great for sea swimming, resistant to the effects of salt, perfectly stretches, allowing the swimsuit to hug the figure, but completely unable to resist the water in the pool.

Therefore, all efforts of the developers of fabrics for use in the pool were aimed at creating a material that can withstand the aggressive environment of the pool and preserve its properties and appearance for a long time. As a result, lycra (or elastane) content in tissues was reduced from 40% to 20%. In addition, some manufacturers began to use polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) instead of lycra. Of course, this innovation has reduced the elastic properties of the fabric, however, has improved the durability of swimsuits.

Therefore, when choosing a swimsuit, pay attention to the label, which indicates the composition of the fabric. In cheap swimsuits, manufacturers often use ordinary fabric, consisting of 60% polyester and 40% elastane. Such a swimsuit will not last long. In quality models, the composition will indicate either 80% polyester and 20% lycra, or 57% polyamide and 43% PBT. You can be sure that you get a quality product that will serve you for a long time.

The choice of model for swimming is very important, because in case of a bad fit on the figure, the straps may fall down or bump too much, the fabric may bubble, which will adversely affect comfort during the session.

Sports swimsuits, above all, are divided into fused and separate models.

Front swimsuits are not very different. The main differences are in the design of the back.

• With open back

This model does not have any jumpers on the back, and the straps are parallel to each other. This form fits perfectly on slim slim girls with small breasts. Larger owners can dwell on models with additional cups to support the bust. Instead of cups there can be a tight hidden top on wide straps. In such adapted models, an additional jumper is often used on the back.

• With wide shoulder straps

Straps can be free or sewn, like a wrestling shirt. This is the most convenient form of swimsuit. Overlapping wide straps do not hinder movement, do not rub and do not bump into the body, provide excellent movement of the hands, and do not squeeze the shoulder blades. In this model, the chest has good support, especially if the model has a small neckline. On the front of the swimsuit there is a flat outer seam, which ensures a perfect fit of the swimsuit to the body.

• With closed back

This model involves almost complete coverage of the back, varieties with zippers or a small drop-shaped neckline are allowed. This style is very fond of the full female, as it is well hides the flaws of the figure. Swimsuit with a closed back quite a lot of slimming figure, adding the slimness of its owner. These models are often made from a fabric with a high content of lycra (up to 30%) for better elasticity and a soothing effect.

• Separate

Popular model, especially among girls with a good figure. This swimsuit does not look like a beach option. It consists of a short sports top with shoulder straps, located crosswise, or stitched. The top fits the body tightly and supports the chest well. The top is usually worn with sporty swimming trunks or with shorts, which are also made of a slimming material, thanks to which they sit tightly on the figure even with active movement.

Separate sporting options can also be excellent for outdoor activities by the open water.

Professional models are different from amateur in that the lower part is elongated to the knee.. Professional swimsuits help to increase the speed of movement, improve body streamline, reduce the load on the muscles. For them, high-tech fabrics are used, so this swimsuit has a rather high cost. For amateur swimming, such a model is of no interest, since an amateur cannot take advantage of all the advantages of such a model.

Professional swimsuits are called hydro-swimsuits or starting swimsuits, respectively, for men produce hydro-shorts. Hydro-swimsuits create a feeling of second skin, very much sweat an athlete and sweat to a minimum. Professional models are not allowed to fold, but, despite the very tight fit, the athlete must freely move and bend.

For long-term operation, you must adhere to some rules for the care of a swimsuit, so that the product will retain its original appearance and properties for a long time.

Naturally, with the purchase you need to read the manufacturer's instructions for care, which are indicated on the label.

Proper drying is also important. Swimsuit can not be dried on the battery or in a tumble dryer. The best way is to leave it flattened at room temperature.

It is forbidden to boil swimwear. Very hot water will also quickly damage the fabric. Wash by hand with warm water without using bleaching agents.
