Buy women's sports swimsuits online
Rhythmic arm strokes, fast leg kicks, perfect breathing – that's swimming. You glide through the water, both during swimming training in the pool and in open water, where things get really competitive. Excellent technique is one thing in swimming, but the right swimwear is another. You benefit from a sports swimsuit or bikini made of functional material and perform at your best.
We have the right swimwear for all female swimmers. In addition to chlorine-resistant bikini tops, bikini bottoms and swim caps, our range includes sporty swimsuits for women. The only question that remains is which women's swimwear suits you best and how do you find the best swimsuit that will benefit you the most?
To help you order your women's swimsuit right here in our online shop, we'll answer the most important questions about women's swimwear:
What should you wear for swimming? Do you need a special sports swimsuit or can you swim just as well in a beach bikini that you already have in your wardrobe? What functions should a sports swimsuit fulfil, and what properties are particularly advantageous for swimming? What about the fit – how does a women's sports swimsuit ideally sit? Which swimsuit will give you the best water resistance in an ideal position in the water? Is a swimsuit with a racer back the only option for you? Do you feel comfortable in a swimsuit with a striking design or do you prefer a more simple swimsuit?
Women's sports swimsuit – do I need special swimwear?
Regular swimming sessions are challenging, you complete technique blocks and free training in open water. You are fast, gliding efficiently through the water. Because: thanks to a clean style and the right swimwear, you present the smallest possible surface area to the water.
In other words, in addition to the optimal water position – continuous legwork, a stable torso, head in the extension of the body axis – the right swimwear is crucial when it comes to minimising water resistance.
Fashionable beachwear, such as playful triangle bikinis or swimsuits with flounces, are primarily designed to make a visual statement and are only suitable for swimming to a limited extent. Frills increase drag, and a bikini top that is not quite tight-fitting can easily slip during swimming. A sporty swimsuit is an excellent choice. Thanks to its special features and perfect fit, you can devote all your energy to swimming without restriction.
Freedom of movement and hydrodynamics – the advantages of a sports swimsuit.
Excellent gliding properties, maximum freedom of movement and a secure fit are the most important features that a sports swimsuit must have.
Instead of the term ‘glide’, the product description of women's sports swimsuits often uses the term ‘hydrodynamics’. This means that the water can glide more easily thanks to the highly functional material of the swimsuit, thus helping you to gain speed.
When choosing a swimsuit, you should also make sure that you can move your arms and legs freely. At the same time, the sports swimsuit should also hold you in place well.
The material is crucial for the key properties of women's sports swimsuits. With Skinfit swimsuits, you can rely on the workmanship of high-quality functional material. The elastic and dimensionally stable fabric lies smoothly against your body. Optimum hydrodynamics and unrestricted arm and leg movements are guaranteed.
The material used is also quick-drying, dimensionally stable and chlorine-resistant. An integrated UV protection of 50+ increases comfort and safety.
How to choose the right fit for a women's sports swimsuit
Because the perfect fit is crucial for a women's swimsuit, we recommend that you pay attention to the following aspects when buying your swimsuit:
- Athletic fit: a feminine, athletic cut minimises drag and thus ensures optimal gliding in the water.
- Sophisticated strap construction: Dynamically shaped straps provide reliable support while leaving your arms completely free to move. A cross-over strap construction with a racer back, for example, is a tried and tested design that you will find in the models in our online shop.
- Well-positioned seams: We take care to place the seams of our swimsuits in a clever way. Nevertheless, we recommend that you consider whether any seams are pressing or rubbing against you when choosing a suit.
- Leg hems: mid-calf or high leg hems improve your freedom of movement.
If you take these aspects into account when choosing your sports swimsuit, you will certainly glide through the water carefree in your new swimsuit.
Skinfit women's sports swimsuit – functionality meets design
Functionality or design – really either/or? We say both. Because: the best features of a sports swimsuit do not inevitably come at the expense of visual appeal. There are various styles of women's swimsuits. In the Skinfit collection in the online shop, you will find appealing swimsuit designs. Do you prefer a swimsuit with a modern all-over print or is the feminine version with a floral pattern your favourite?
How do you find the right swimsuit for women?
You have probably already found your swimsuit. Otherwise, the best thing to do is to ask yourself the following questions to help you make your choice:
- What do you plan to do, and for what purpose do you need swimwear? Do you want to wear your swimsuit mainly for training and competition? Or will you also wear your new swimsuit in the swimming pool and on the beach thanks to its appealing design?
- What features are most important to you, and which bathing suit functions do you benefit from the most?
- Does the sports swimsuit really feel like a second skin? Does it fit snugly but not restrict you?
By now, you should be able to easily find the right women's sports swimsuit in our online shop. But if you still want personal advice, please feel free to visit your local Skinfit shop. We look forward to your visit.
