Filed under: Swimming Articles — @ 12:00 pm

Competitive swimwear is just as important as the techniques and practice. You want to make sure you are comfortable during the swim and that nothing will create a drag. There are a few styles of competitive swimwear for males. You have briefs or the shorts. The shorts are making an appearance at more meets because of the comfortable material as well as the covering they provide, while still offering no drag.

One of the leading competitive swimwear manufacturers is Speedo. Speedo has been one of the primary suppliers of swimwear for competitions for more than three decades. They offer a lycra material that is chlorine proof, as well as durable for the many meets you will have. The TYR male competitive swimwear is 80% nylon based and 20% lycra offering a little difference in the material and possibly comfort. Other manufacturers of swimwear for competitions are Nike and Dolfin. Both companies offer a spandex like material that will stretch for comfort, but limit drag. You will find each swimsuit is designed for endurance, as well as the chlorine they will be used in.
