Dear fellow swimmers
There's a lot to consider when it comes to choosing
training swimwear. Fit and flexibility is an important consideration, as you want to feel secure while having plenty of freedom of motion in the water. But you also want your swimwear to last, to withstand regular exposure to chlorine, so paying attention to materials is also key.
To help you find a swimsuit that's fit for the pool, we've compiled reviews of our favourite women's swimsuits and men's swimwear for pool training. We also have a guide to swimsuit back styles, and kit that can help you swim faster when every second matters.
Happy swimming!
