How to Increase Your Chances of a Long and Consistent Swimming Career

How to Increase Your Chances of a Long and Consistent Swimming Career

Consider custom swimwear for your swimming career.
Custom swimwear is just one part of the equation.

While some swimmers begin training as a teenager or adult, others may begin swimming competitively from a young age. Regardless of your age when you begin, working hard can help you embark on a long, consistent career in competitive swimming. From purchasing the right customized swimwear to using the right training gear, these tips will increase your chances of a long, lucrative swimming career.

Choose Your Own Path

While you need to listen to your coaching staff to help you improve, it’s important to choose your own path in swimming. If you want to be a world-class swimmer, you will need a Speedo drag suit for training and other equipment a casual swimmer won’t need. However, if this isn’t your dream and you are in swimming for the fun of it, don’t feel pressured into making something more of this activity.

Take Good Care of Yourself

Like any other athlete, swimmers need to follow a nutritious diet and exercise often to stay in shape. Weight lifting and other similar activities may become part of your regular routine. If you are injured during training or at a meet, see your doctor and follow his or her instructions exactly to ensure you can return to swimming in a timely manner and resume swimming at the same level or higher.

Identify the Need for a Break

It may be tempting to continue pushing yourself when you feel worn out or you aren’t sure if you want to continue swimming, but pushing yourself can lead to serious injuries or lead to a dislike for the sport. Instead, taking strategically placed breaks can give your body time to rest and enhance your swimming performance.

Don’t Make Excuses

It’s easy to brush off a poor performance because you just weren’t feeling it or a vast number of other reasons. The truth is these excuses aren’t going to make you a better swimmer or ensure you can continue to participate in the sport. Swimming takes a lot of hard work and dedication. Blaming a bad performance on your Speedo LZR Elite isn’t going to make you do better next time. Instead, drop the excuses and work harder.

When you’re dedicated to becoming a competitive swimmer, custom swimsuits isn’t the only thing you need to worry about. These tips can help increase your chances of being the best swimmer you can be for the duration of your career.

The Speedo LZR Elite now comes in new colors.

While briefs have long been the preferred competitive swimwear for men because they restrict movement less and don’t create as much resistance, many of the major swimwear brands, including Speedo, have created jammer-style suits that perform just as well or better than briefs. Custom Speedos can be a great way to swim your best and look your best in and out of the water. Because of the growing popularity of the best swim jammers, the Speedo LZR Elite is now available in two new colors to further expand the options for male swimmers.

Black/Pink

A chic black and pink color combination makes an excellent choice for fashionable men who are looking for a way to show off their sense of style. While this color combination has long been viewed as a female option, Speedo recognized the new found appreciation men have for the colors. For this reason, they chose this as one of the new color combos for the Speedo LZR Racer Elite competitive swimwear.

Blue/Green

The second new color combination for the Speedo LZR Elite line is a blue and green combination. These two colors are reminiscent of time spent on the beach and can be the perfect addition to any male swimmer’s swimwear collection. While many of the other colors available are paired with black or navy blue to temper the bright colors, this design features two bright colors so you can really stand out among the other swimmers.

Many male swimmers have gotten on board with the fast growing trend of wearing the best swim jammers instead of settling for the briefs of the past. The Speedo LZR Racer Elite is one of Speedo’s top-selling competitive swimwear options. While it was previously available in an array of seven color combinations, Speedo saw a need to add a few more. With the addition of these two new color combinations, men on all competitive levels will be able to find the custom Speedos that best appeal to their sense of style, allowing them to express themselves in and out of the water, while swimming to the best of their abilities.

Speedo LZR Elite

While the FastSkin3 Racing System of swimsuits, caps and goggles has been around for a while, the Speedo LZR Elite, available in both men’s and women’s styles, was not always a part of the racing system. It had previously been a part of the system but was discontinued. However, because of the demand by swimmers who are looking for changes to the line, Speedo has redesigned and again included the LZR Elite swimsuit into its line. This means swimmers now have three different suits from which to choose, each one offering its own range of benefits to swimmers.

LZR Elite Features

If you aren’t sure if the LZR Elite is the right swimsuit to add to your FastSkin3 Racing System goggles and swim cap, you will want to examine the features of the suit. This will help you determine if it is the right suit for your racing needs. The LZR Elite is a fully bonded suit that is made from lightweight material so you feel less constricted. You will experience the benefits of all-over compression, as well as comfortable leg openings so you can enjoy all the comforts while helping your body perform better in the water. In addition, the suit features core stabilizing features for optimal performance.

Your performance in the water isn’t only limited by your skills and experience. You will also need the help of a quality competition swimsuit, combined with the right goggles and swim cap for your body style and swimming technique. To increase your combination options for the FastSkin3 Racing System, Speedo has again added the redesigned LZR Elite swimsuit to the line. Whether you already have a suit and are looking for a replacement or you are using the FastSkin3 system for the first time, this suit or one of the other two available suits in the system may be the right option for you.
