What to Look for in a Swim Parka

With the colder weather, many people may think outdoor swimming isn’t really a thing. However, when it comes to competitive swimming, many teams still swim outdoors, even in the colder months of the year. This means swimmers need to find ways to keep their bodies warm on the side of the pool to ensure they can still perform their best. One of the best ways to do this is with a custom swim parka. As you shop for the right swim parka for you, whether you choose a Speedo swim parka or one from another major swimming brand, there are several things you should look for.

The Lining

One of the most important elements of choosing the right swim parka is the lining. The primary goal of this piece of swim gear is to keep you warm on the side of the pool, particularly in the colder months of the year. A good custom swim parka should be lined with fleece or faux fur. However, fleece is often preferred as it dries faster. Fur can also feel scratchy when you wear it. Therefore, you should only choose faux fur if you intend to wear your parka after drying off well.

Storage

You have a lot to worry about when you’re on the side of the pool. Chances are you aren’t going to want to wear your swim cap and goggles when you’re waiting for your next round in the pool. For this reason, it’s important to select a swim parka that has plenty of pockets to keep these little items close by. You might even want to keep your MP3 player in one of the pockets so you can listen to some relaxing music in between your races.

Ventilation

While the main purpose of a swim parka is to keep your body warm when you can’t be in the water, air flow is important. Properly positioned ventilation will help keep your body warm and allow you to effectively dry off over time without creating a cold feeling. This is why it’s best to choose a parka designed particularly for swimmers.

Customization

You want to show off your team spirit and what better way to do this than to choose custom gear? However, not all swim parkas can be easily customized. Look for options with a vast selection of colors or those that can have your team logo or your name embroidered on them for greater customization.

Have you considered custom swim team parkas for your team.

When the weather is cold, this doesn’t have to mean you give up your time in the pool. When you are a competitive swimmer, it’s important to train all year round, as well as to potentially compete during the colder months of the year. To help keep your muscles warm and prevent getting ill as a result of getting cold after spending time in the water, a swim parka can be just what you need. Whether you choose a Speedo swim parka or a Nike swim parka, you will enjoy incredible warmth so you’re always ready to go.

Represent Your Team

Joining a competitive team means you get to develop camaraderie and a sense of unity with the other swimmers on your team. While many swim teams require you to purchase custom swimwear that matches and may even require your other swim gear to match, custom swim team parkas aren’t always a top priority. However, these can be a valuable tool in promoting this sense of team spirit as well. Purchasing swim parkas that match will help your team feel unified, even in between their races when they’re waiting for their next chance to showcase what they can do.

Stay Warm at All Times

Swimmers often warm up out of the pool, as well as in the pool, before meets. However, this often occurs well before their race or they may participate in more than one race at longer intervals. In either case, it’s important to find ways to stay warm so muscles remain loose and you don’t lose what you worked hard to gain. A Speedo swim parka or Nike swim parka in your swim colors, customized with your team logo, can be a great way to help you stay warm. These parkas often include a hood and pockets so you can keep all parts of your body warm and ready to go.

Swimming is a great sport, but you don’t have to limit your participation to the winter months only. Purchasing custom swim team parkas can be a great way to showcase a sense of unity in your team and keep all your swimmers warm until it’s their turn to shine.
