Competitive Swimwear for Women
Women have different styles of suits they can choose from for regular swimming, but when you become a competitive swimmer you know drag is going to be extremely important. For women a one piece suit that is form fitting will allow for the best results. It will reduce drag and offer you a comfortable suit. Many of the female swimsuits are going to have a cross back design for the shoulder straps. This will prevent the suit from becoming loose or bind up the shoulder action needed for the strokes.
Typically the female design offers thin straps that will cross at mid back, in the middle of the back is a circular hole, and that leads to the material for the rear end. It offers a bit more style to the suit. Speedo, TYR, Dolfin, and Nike all have swimwear for women. You will be able to choose from lcyra, nylon, or spandex material. It will depend on your comfort level, as well as your form. You need to have a suit that will offer form fitting, but not too tight around the legs or shoulders.
