Scientists have long proven that swimming is one of the best types of physical activity for a person. Therefore, today there is not a single pool that would be empty. It is especially convenient to swim in the indoor pool, since you can go here in any season of the year. Swimming is not only he althy, it improves mood and improves well-being. And for comfort and maximum results, it is enough for women to choose a good swimsuit for the pool, and for men - swimming trunks. Let's consider in detail how sports swimwear differs from beach ones, and how not to make a mistake with the choice.
Types of swimwear
According to stylists, conditionally all women's swimwear are divided into:
- Evening that ladies wear to beach parties or pool parties. Typically, these swimsuits are made from very expensive fabrics, decorated with lace, rhinestones, and exquisite jewelry. This species is intended rather not for swimming, but fordrawing attention to its owner.
- Beach. This is a clothing option for relaxing on the beach, swimming in natural reservoirs. These swimsuits differ in their "endurance": the fabric must be resistant to s alt water, to ultraviolet rays, and the color should not fade in the sun. Often they are made in bright colors and decorated with some decorative elements: beautiful ties, buttons, clasps, beads or rhinestones. Sometimes ruffles are added to create a romantic look.
- Sport swimwear for the pool is designed for active sports. Here, the focus is not on jewelry, but on a comfortable cut and elasticity of the fabric. Manufacturers produce this piece of clothing in various colors and styles, but for competition use moderate shades without floral prints.
Requirements for sports swimwear
A swimsuit for the pool should meet quality standards and have characteristics that allow its wearer to focus solely on physical activity.
One of the most important things to pay attention to is the material. In most cases, pools use chlorine or mixtures that contain it to purify water. This chemical element has a very negative effect on the structure of the fabric, so the usual beach version of the swimsuit will quickly deteriorate.
As for the composition of the material, manufacturers mainly use polyamide. It produces the highest quality swimwear for swimming inpool. Sometimes a combination of polyamide and lycra or polyester and PBT is used for their production. The difference between these two compositions is that the first one contributes to greater elasticity of the fabric and a good fit of the product according to the figure. And the second option is more resistant to the effects of chlorine on the fibers.
Solid and split styles
Today, sports swimwear for the pool is on the market in a huge variety. All these different types and styles are conditionally divided into two main groups. Among them:
- One-piece swimsuits are one of the most popular swimwear styles. This style promotes rapid movement in the water, which is why professionals choose it for themselves. Women also like to wear one-piece swimsuits for aqua aerobics, as they do not restrict movement. Requirements for such sportswear: they must be comfortable, do not cause any skin irritation, do not rub, and also ensure that any part of the body is not exposed during sudden movements.
- Separate swimwear. This refers not to the usual bodice and underpants, but to the sports-style bodice and shorts, which are equipped with special elastic bands. A one-piece swimsuit for the pool is suitable only for slender girls, since it is impossible to hide extra pounds with it.
One-piece swimwear range
One-piece swimsuits for swimming in the pool, in turn, are divided into the following types:
- Swimsuit with open back. This optionnecessarily implies the presence of thin straps that can be adjusted. Fashion experts advise girls with small breasts to choose this style. If the chest is larger, then you should choose a swimsuit that has built-in support in the bodice area. In some models, you can see the transverse strap, which holds the chest even better.
- Swimsuit with wide straps on the back. If they are crossed, then such models resemble wrestling shoes. Why are they good? Firstly, fashionistas like “wrestling” bathing suits, because they emphasize the dignity of the figure well. Secondly, the wide straps allow the swimsuit to fit the body tightly, which means that it is comfortable to train in it and feel confident in the water. Also, the straps do not cut into the skin and do not rub it, as is the case with thin straps. Another plus is good breast support.
- Swimsuit for the pool closed, in particular, with a closed back. As for the cutout, it is in the form of a drop or the neck can be completely closed. A zipper can be integrated in the front, with which it is easier to put on a swimsuit. This style is more suitable for overweight ladies - it helps to hide flaws, in other words, it has a slimming effect.
What to look for when buying?
Before purchasing swimwear, there are a few things to consider that will be of great importance later:
- If you need special support for your chest, then you should choose a swimsuit for the pool, inwhich has an additional lining that forms cups. And if there are no cups, then you can choose a swimsuit made of very dense material and with wide straps.
- Decent content in the composition of the Lycra material makes the owner more slender by correcting the figure in problem areas. Sometimes in these swimsuits there may be special inserts in the abdomen.
- It is worth noting that the cup swimsuit not only supports the breasts, but also provides protection during fast swimming and water pressure.
Special nuances
When choosing a bathing suit, you should also consider height. If the girl is not tall, then it is better to buy a swimsuit one size smaller, and very tall ladies should pay attention to a larger size. However, don't overdo it here: too big will cause the straps to slip during exercise, and too small will cut into the skin and leave irritation.
Sports swimsuits from manufacturers such as Beach Bunny, Victoria's Secret, Caffe, Maaji, etc. are considered the highest quality. Athletes trust these companies and buy things from them for serious competitions.
