Swimwear for athletes

Sport is great! And when this is complemented by a beautiful and comfortable outfit, it begins to bring even more pleasure and arouses the desire to conquer new heights of sports success. A selection of beautiful and comfortable swimsuits for different sports related to the water element and not only - in this article.

Leotards for artistic gymnastics

Grace and grace - these are, perhaps, the two main words that can be characterized artistic gymnastics... For a gymnast, a leotard is not only a part of her wardrobe - it is an extension of herself. An ideal swimsuit should not only be beautiful, but also as comfortable as possible, like a second skin. There should be no pressure or chafing anywhere. Otherwise, there will be no performance and dedication.

Leotards for artistic gymnastics can be divided into two groups: for training and for performances. Naturally, the former look much simpler than the latter. They usually lack decorative elements and bright prints. While the latter are simply replete with all sorts of sequins, rhinestones and ruffles.

When buying a swimsuit, the athlete herself must be present. In no case should you buy such things without trying them on. After the outfit is dressed, you need to move around in order to make sure that there are no problem areas in the cut, and only then pay for the purchase.

Leotard for sports dancing

Sports dances, so funny and incendiary. The outfit for them should be just excellent. Despite the difference in the name from the previous paragraph, swimsuits, in principle, do not differ. That is, for sports dances, you can be guided by the same rules and selection criteria as for artistic gymnastics.

There are many manufacturers these days that specialize in clothing for professional sports. And their difference is not only in design and price, but also in quality. A good swimsuit should allow the skin to breathe, especially for training. Therefore, it should be dominated by cotton. But for performances, you can "indulge" and synthetics. So to speak, to shine on the podium.

For sports dances, you can choose either an ordinary standard leotard or with a skirt. The latter will add aesthetics and femininity to the side, and the movements will become even more graceful.

Sports swimwear sizes

Size matters, and it's huge. If the swimsuit is uncomfortable, constantly somewhere and something will jump off, press in or rub, then instead of concentrating on the movements, the athlete will be nervous and will not be able to do everything right.

Each manufacturer sets its own parameters suitable for a particular size. The same can be said about the countries of production, so there is simply no one hundred percent key to a good choice. There is an approximate table by which you can navigate, but it does not always give the desired results.

If you plan to order a swimsuit via the Internet, then be sure to check the local dimensional grid, or even better, if there is a chat with the store operator on the site, consult in person. It's good if the store works with courier delivery and there is an opportunity to try on an outfit before paying.

The hardest part is choosing the size of the swimwear with cups. They usually have double markings: the size of the swimsuit itself and the bra. Choose elastic fabrics, they will fit more tightly to the body, and their stretch property will create comfort even when performing complex movements.

Sports swimwear models

The modern world boasts a large selection of both sports equipment and sportswear, and swimwear is no exception. One-piece, separate, monokinis, bikinis, shorts, skirts and more. It is easy to get lost in such an assortment, but there is a way out - to buy several models. Below we will consider the most popular sports swimwear in different styles.

Sports two-piece swimsuit

In general, experts do not recommend purchasing a separate swimsuit for sports. This is primarily due to convenience, which is very important when exercising. But what can you do if it is a separate swimsuit that is able to profitably teach a beautiful figure, on which you have worked so long and hard.

When choosing a separate sports swimsuit, it is important to be guided not only by aesthetic qualities, but also, so to speak, by its "technical" characteristics. The bodice of the swimsuit should not be too loose, it is desirable that it fits snugly to the body, but does not press. The straps should be wide and elastic. The neckline of the swimsuit should not be too deep - otherwise the chest may "fly out".

This is what a good and sports-friendly two-piece swimsuit looks like.

The main thing is that the swimsuit should be completely free of all kinds of strings. Everything should be one piece in order to reduce the likelihood of the swimsuit "slipping" during exercise, especially if the bulk of the exercise takes place in the water.

Sports swimsuit with cups

A swimsuit with cups is not the most popular model among athletes. The fact is that they are not very convenient to use, especially if its owner has large breasts. Then, even the most primitive jumps will bring a lot of discomfort, because outstanding "dignity" simply has nothing to catch on to. Therefore, the manufacturers themselves do not really try with their release. But if the desire to buy a swimsuit with cups is great, then be as careful as possible when choosing.

Despite all its openness, it should be as closed as possible. It is important to choose a bodice exactly in size so that the chest lies comfortably in it, and the swimsuit itself does not flake off the body. Discard a lot of foam rubber. He quickly absorbs water and is reluctant to part with it. This will make the top much heavier, which will slip and dry for a very long time.

Sports swimsuit with shorts

A sports swimsuit with shorts looks not only beautiful, but also sexy. In addition, and importantly, it is the shorts that are probably the most comfortable in playing sports. They comfortably and reliably hold the ass, preventing it from climbing out of bounds. Ideal for beach volleyball or seaside jogging, for example.

Depending on the sport you plan to play, you can choose the degree of openness of the top and bottom. The more movements and the more active they are, the, naturally, the closing up. In this case, you can be sure that all your intimate parts of the body will remain under the reliable protection of the swimsuit. Again, there shouldn't be any ribbons or ties.

Ideally, such a swimsuit should resemble a classic sports set, consisting of shorts and a top. For example, like the swimwear shown in the photo below.

Sports leotard with sleeves

A sports swimsuit with sleeves can be purchased for different purposes. Starting from ordinary swimming activities, ending with dance and gymnastics training.

If training is in no way connected with water, then it is advisable to choose a swimsuit with a more natural composition, with an advantage in favor of cotton. This will allow the skin to breathe and not sweat, and the workouts themselves will be as comfortable as possible. But with the exact opposite, water sports, a bathing suit should be 100% synthetic. In order to dry quickly and not let your mistress freeze.

Leotards with sleeves and a skirt are available for gymnastics. This will allow you to look graceful and feminine with any movement.

Sports swimsuit with a skirt

As already mentioned a little above, a sports swimsuit with a skirt is a real embodiment of femininity. In this case, the skirt does not always have to be sewn to the swimsuit. It can be purchased separately and worn over your main outfit. By the way, a tutu skirt will look very good, which very easy to sew with your own hands without spending money on store copies.

The skirt can be made either from mesh or from a regular elastic material similar to a swimsuit. This is already a matter of taste. Naturally, in the first case, it will "shine", and in the second, on the contrary, it will cover everything. So pick what you like best and get your outfit ready.

The uneven and slightly rounded hem of the skirt will look original and add even more grace.

Sports swimwear with a zipper

You need to be extremely careful with sports swimwear with a lock. Firstly, the lock itself has never been considered convenient, and secondly, there is a risk that during classes or performances it may unbutton or, even worse, come apart.

It can stab and cut into the body, making it difficult to fully focus on sports.

However, if you nevertheless decided on such an unusual bathing suit, then you should foresee one nuance in advance - unbuttoning the lock. In order not to get into an awkward situation, before going to class in it, fix a comfortable place for unbuttoning with a thread and a needle. This will prevent the dog from going beyond the limiter you set.   

Sports swimsuit for boys

Sports swimwear for boys is radically different from outfits for girls. As a rule, for sports, a set of T-shirts and shorts is purchased. True, although the top is called a T-shirt, it really looks more like a swimsuit. This is a kind of bodysuit that fits the whole body. Such a T-shirt does not bully, does not turn inside out and does not interfere with training and performances.

And yet, gymnastic suits are more popular among boys. They have the same tank top, similar to a swimsuit, but the bottom is hidden by sweatpants.

It is worth noting that the pants, despite all their external similarity with the usual ones, have a special cut. They have a special loop for the foot, which prevents the pants from bulging.

Of course, it will not be superfluous to remind you that when choosing a bathing suit, first of all, you need to take into account the opinion of its future owner. After all, it is for him to wear it, practice in it and, which is quite likely, occupy a leading position in the chosen sport!
