The Case For Serious Swimwear

Want to do more than take Insta shots at the pool?

We’ve all been there. Those moments where you’re faster than your swimwear. Where a dive leaves something behind, strings come loose, straps stray far from their place.

Serious swimmers need serious swimwear. A good-to-go that holds on, that stays firm, that doesn’t untie or fall loose.

When looking for a pair to take poolside, we’re looking for sleek silhouettes and streamlined, classic shapes. Racerbacks, be they one-piece or two. Something that will stay put, no matter what stroke you’re throwing out there.

Swimming is our aerobic workout of choice for summer. It tones, builds strength and ups your fitness with little to no impact stress (a win for anyone who is feeling it in their knees from a winter’s worth of running). Whether you’re running squad or swimming solo, it’s the the perfect way to build endurance and to get those endorphins flowing.

There’s something mediatitive, too, about counting your laps and following that line. One dive in and you’re in another world. It’s you-time, marked by the count of one-two-three-breathe.

So, for those of you who want more than just Insta shots from your pool time, here’s some styles to keep you in the fast lane.
