How to Select Swimwear for a Beginner?

Don't select a swimsuit with a skirt.

At any stage of learning to swim, reducing resistance is more important than increasing the propulsive force, so it is particularly significant to choose a swimsuit with minimal resistance.

Especially for beginners who cannot fully master swimming skills, if the resistance of swimsuits is large, they'll feel half dead with tiredness during swimming. And swimwear with skirts has the greatest resistance.


Choose a professional swimsuit.

Professional swimwear should be used for the swimming exercise. Generally speaking, it is enough to wear common swimsuits to go to a hot spring or take photos on the beach, but if you are going to learn to swim, you should wear professional swimwear because it can make you get twice the result with half the effort in the whole learning stage.

What is professional swimwear?

The material of the professional swimsuit is very different from that of the ordinary one. The material of the professional swimsuit is Lycra, a synthetic fiber known for its exceptional elasticity. This swimsuit is a perfect fit and the material density is higher. The swimsuit adopts a triangle design rather than the skirt design, so as to reduce the resistance in water flow. The shoulder strap will also be thin and not leave red marks because spandex fibers can be stretched to almost 500% of their length and can return to their original state. That is to say, the fibers can be stretched very easily, and they can cling to the body after returning to their original shape.
