Nike Cut-Out Tank Suits

The new Nike cut-out tank designs are fun and attractive.

The Nike cut-out tank competitive swimsuits have been one of the best-selling suits on the market. This version of the competitive swimwear is famous for its variety of colors and designs to allow you to choose just the right swimsuit to express some personality in the water. While most often used for training, these attractive suits can provide you with a splash of color in the pool.

Foil Skin

The foil skin design provides you with a variation of traditional stripes. Instead of solid horizontal stripes as you often see, this design provides you with horizontal stripes that vary in thickness across the stripe, creating a rippling effect across the suit. The colors available include black, green, red, royal and grape, pairing each color up with a complementary color to complete the effect. The patterned colors actually provide a scaly look.

Bound

If you are looking for another variation using stripes, the bound design provides colorful lines that crisscross their way across the suit. These stripes feature several colors to create a fade effect with the suit. Available in green, black, blue and red and navy, you will be able to find the right combination to fit your style.

Rio Geo

Geometric shapes are popular today, making the rio geo design the perfect option for many swimmers. This Nike cut-out tank is available in several color schemes, including green, blue, magenta and crimson, providing a beautiful combination that is sure to attract attention in the pool.

Tie Dye

Tie dye is another style that has found itself back in the graces of competitive swimsuits. It is also one of the newest designs for the Nike cut-out tank suits. You can relive the old days with the purchase of a tie dye swimsuit in shades of blue, turquoise, magenta and pink.

Many swimmers enjoy the fit of the Nike cut-out tank competitive swimsuits. These quality swimsuits provide the perfect fit to hug your body and help you cut through the water more easily. With the open back and thin straps, you will experience less drag on your back, as well as less restriction in your movements. All of these features can help you make the most of your natural abilities so you can perform even better than ever. Not only that, with the new designs, you will stand out in a crowd, keeping the attention on you instead of on your competitors.

Choosing the Right Youth Swimsuits

24 09 2012
Youth Swimsuits

Youth swimsuits offer the same benefits as those for the adults.

Competitive swimming, whether for youth or adults, requires the perfect competition swimsuit to maximize the compression of the body without reducing the range of motion the swimmer needs. High-quality youth swimsuits allow even the youngest competitor to perform with the best results in swim meets.

The idea behind competitive swimming suits is to mimic the skin of a shark, allowing the youth’s body to work with the water, rather than against it. Speedo has a large variety of competitive swimsuits for youth available. All swimsuits are created with the highest quality materials that are chlorine resistant. This allows youth who swim several times a week to have long-lasting swimsuits without fading or stretching.

Youth Speedo Swimsuits for Females

The Speedo Fastskin FSII Recordbreaker provides youth with the least amount of drag in the water, allowing them to show off their incredible swimming skills without being slowed down by the drag of their own body. The technology behind this youth Speedo swimsuit is the ability to provide the body with the most compression in the right areas. Children who take advantage of this latest phenomenon in swimwear will experience the least amount of skin vibration to slow them down, while expending the least amount of energy, keeping them as competitive as possible.

The Speedo Aquablade Recordbreaker Youth also provides females with a minimal amount of drag but also has the benefit of giving the skin the smooth feeling like a shark, allowing her to glide right through the water with seamless movements. The stripes on this youth Speedo swimsuit cause the water to move away from the body, helping to increase the speed.

Youth Speedo Swimsuits for Males

The Speedo Optik Splice Jammer offers an innovative fit for youth males that provides them with more skin coverage to reduce the amount of drag and resistance they experience in the water. Made from high-quality Xtra Life Lycra, this suit lasts much longer than many other youth swimsuits and offers a secure fit throughout the life of the suit. Male swimmers will not experience unpleasant sagging or excessive stretching even after many uses.

The Speedo Fastskin FSII Recordbreaker provides male youth swimmers with the same benefits the female version offers, such as the least amount of drag in the water, as well as compression in all the areas imperative for the best times in competitive swim meets. Made from nylon and Lycra spandex, this swimsuit is one of the most technologically advanced youth swimsuits available.

What’s Your Favorite Carbon Pro Color?

24 08 2012
Arena Carbon Pro Swimsuits

The Arena Carbon Pro comes in a variety of great colors.

If you’ve ever paid attention to the swimsuits you will see at the pool during your workouts, training and competitions, you have probably noticed the dull colors everyone is wearing. A lot of people are wearing plain black suits because this is what a performance suit is made from, right? However, when it comes to the Arena Carbon Pro, you can experience the performance enhancement you desire with a splash of color that will make you stand out from the crowd. Available in the open back kneeskin, closed back kneeskin and jammer, you have four colors to choose from.

Dark Grey

If you prefer a more muted color that doesn’t stand out too much, the dark grey is the perfect option for you. This color is dark enough to almost qualify as black, allowing you to take advantage of the benefits of the Arena Carbon Pro performance suits without being too loud. Some people just want to stand out based on performance, not the color of their suit.

Bright Green

Green is a sign of life and vitality. Bring new meaning to the color green when you purchase your Carbon Pro suit in this bright color. All your competitors will be green with envy when they see you streak by them in the pool, wearing this impressive green color. Everyone will be able to see you coming through the water.

Bright Red

So maybe green isn’t your color. In that case, if you are looking for something bright to help you stand out from your competitors, bright red can be a great option. Your competitors and the fans won’t be able to help but notice this fantastic color as you streak through the pool.

Royal Blue

If you are looking for something that will stand apart from the typical mute colors swimmers wear for their performance suits but you want something a little tamer, the royal blue is an excellent choice. A darker color than some of the other options, you can show off what you can do with a little splash of blue to complement the blue of the pool water.

So which Arena Carbon Pro color is your favorite? Will you choose the typical dark grey for your suit, or will you choose something a little different to help your performance stand out from the crowd, such as bright green, bright red or royal blue.

The Importance of Choosing Competitive Swimwear

20 08 2012
Competitive Swimwear

Competitive swimwear offers additional benefits for swimmers over traditional swimwear.

If you are involved in competitive swimming, you understand you can’t just pick up any swimwear at your local store and expect to do well in the water. While the swimwear that is available at your local department store or other retailer is functional, looks great and does the job when you are swimming recreationally, they aren’t designed with racing in mind. This means you need to choose your competitive swimwear from an experienced retailer.

Fit

One of the biggest concerns with competitive swimwear is how it fits your body. When you will be using the suit for racing, you want a suit that will hug your features and won’t increase the drag of the water on your body. The sleek fit of the perfect competitive swimsuit will increase your ability to cut through the water smoothly with the least amount of resistance possible to enhance your natural performance.

Compression

While most competitive swimmers are incredibly fit, there is still a need for compression for certain areas of your body. This is one area where the typical swimsuit available from your local retailer won’t do the job necessary. This is why it is so important to look for competitive swimwear that is designed with this compression in mind to provide you with the enhanced performance you need to do well in the water.

Less Restrictive Materials

Suits that are created with competition in mind will be made from lighter materials that restrict movement less than the swimwear you will find in your local stores. Swimmers want to reduce their weight as much as possible in the water and require the ability to move freely so they can perform the movements necessary to propel themselves through the water quickly and efficiently. If your movement is restricted or your suit causes friction on your body, you won’t be able to swim as well, creating a negative impact on your swimming.

Getting involved in competitive swimming means you need to invest in quality competitive swimwear to be a contender in all your races. These swimsuits offer additional benefits to competitive swimmers over those you can find in your average store. These competitive swimsuits will be made from lightweight materials that don’t restrict your movements in any way. They also fit better than your average suit and provide you with the compression you need to become more aerodynamic in the water, improving your speed naturally.

Proper Care for Your Sport Swim Wear

13 08 2012
Competitive Swimwear Care

Taking proper care of your competitive swim suit is important.

Chlorine and the various other chemicals in the pool can be harmful to your sport swim wear. If you do not take proper care of your suit, you could shorten its life significantly. If you are a competitive swimmer, you probably go to great lengths to find the perfect suit that will allow you to swim fast and perform well. The material used to construct these suits is fragile. Manufacturers use these specially woven fabrics to increase speed by decreasing drag and increasing compression. The fragile material requires special care to lengthen the life of your competitive swim suit.

Rinse Your Swim Suit

This might seem like a waste of time, but the simple act of rinsing your swim suit right after getting out of the pool can add more use to your suit. This will remove the chlorine from your suit right away rather than sitting on the suit, causing damage while it waits to be laundered.

Washing the Chlorine Out

While rinsing is helpful, it does not get rid of all the chlorine. You should carefully wash your competitive swim suit as soon as possible. Washing it by hand is best because it allows for a gentle wash to preserve the fragile fabric of your suit. Simply add a few drops of mild laundry detergent to a sink full of water, turn your suit inside out and gently wash it. All it takes is a few gentle glides back and forth in the water to thoroughly wash it. Never use abrasive or harsh cleaners and avoid bleach at all costs.

Drying Your Suit

You will want to get rid of the excess water on your suit, but you must do this carefully. Excessive wringing can cause more damage to your suit than putting it through the washing machine. Simply give your suit a few gentle squeezes to get the excess water out. Once the excess water is out, lay your swim wear flat on a towel to allow it to dry. Never use the dryer because it will cause fading and shrinking.

If you follow these simple steps with your competitive swim suit, you will not only prolong the length of time you can use it, but you will also keep the specific features of each suit intact. This will allow you to increase your performance when you wear your sport swim wear.

Arena Carbon Pro Swimsuits Give You the Speed You Need

30 07 2012
Arena Carbon Pro Kneeskin

The Arena Carbon Pro now also comes in red and blue.

If you have ever wondered how dolphins swim so fast and graceful, the secret is in their skin. It is not porous like human skin. This is what causes humans to naturally slow down in the water. For humans to mimic the speed and style of these gracious mammals, they need a racing swimsuit that reduces the amount of friction the body creates when they swim. Competitive swimmers everywhere strive to find the delicate balance between friction restriction and fluid movement.

Today, swimmers can find that perfection in the Arena Carbon Pro Kneeskin for women and the Arena Carbon Pro Jammer for men. A swimmer’s movements will become incredibly fluid and their speed like lightning, just like a beautiful dolphin, thanks to the latest technology involved in the Carbon Pro line.

Compression without Restriction

The Arena Carbon Pro racing suit is designed to give swimmers the ultimate speed in the water. This intellectual suit is the first suit to deliver the perfect amount of compression without restricting movement. Using its latest technology to lock down in the areas that most need the compression, this racing suit gives swimmers a fast, fluid movement with its perfectly balanced ratio of strength to weight. Swimmers require a suit that is light enough to go fast but strong enough to compress them in areas of their body that could slow them down.

A competition swimsuit needs to deliver power and strength but cannot restrict the necessary movement to make a swimmer go faster. This can be found in the Arena Carbon Pro line. With critical carbon fibers in the right places to compress the right areas of the body and elastic bonding tape covering the interior of the legs to perfect a swimmer’s kicks and dives, this racing swimsuit offers a swimmer the way to perfect their next race.

Competition Suits for Men and Women

Men and women who compete on swim teams need powerful swimsuits that are going to aid them in their races, not work against them. The good news is the answer is in the Arena Carbon Pro line. The even better news is that both the Arena Carbon Kneeskin and the Arena Carbon Jammer are available in new colors. The two latest colors include red and green. The classic black and royal blue are still available as well. Now swimmers can have the perfect suit for their big race in the color that coordinates with their team colors.

What Equipment Does a New Swimmer Need?

6 07 2012

When your child becomes interested in becoming a competitive swimmer, it is important to know what to expect. In addition to the swimming lessons that will teach your child how to swim properly using the appropriate techniques, there are pieces of equipment you will need to buy to get him ready for his life as a swimmer. Making sure he has what he needs for practices, and ultimately meets, is important to his success.

Swimsuit

One of the first things your child will need is an appropriate suit for practices. The one for the meet can come later. A good lap swimming suit will provide him with all the support he needs without restricting movement or causing additional resistance. As long as you get a suit made from quality material that is designed for low resistance, your child will do well at practice. Once he is on a team, you can worry about a swim team suit.

Swim Caps

A swim cap is just part of what your child will need to enter competitive swimming.

Personal GearThere are a few more pieces of personal gear  your child will need to begin swimming at a competitive level. Because hair can really slow you down in the water, a good swim cap is necessary to reduce that resistance. In addition to the swim cap to reduce resistance due to hair, you will also need to buy a good pair of swim goggles. These goggles serve a dual purpose: protection for your eyes and the ability to see.

Other Optional Gear

While the above is absolutely necessary to enter the world of competitive swimming, there are other things that are nice to have along the way. A good backpack or tote bag will allow you to carry all your gear with you without getting your regular clothes wet. Your child can also benefit from certain training tools, such as swim fins, paddles and kickboards, to help perfect technique and build strength so your child can grow as a swimmer.

As you consider entering your child into the world of competitive swimming, you will also need to consider the costs associated with giving your child a good shot of doing well. This includes buying a quality swim team suit for your child, as well as a swim cap and goggles to allow him to learn to swim fast. In addition, you may need to purchase some other items your child can benefit from in his journey to becoming a contender on a swim team.
