Sizing

Competitive swimwear sizing guide

Selecting the correct swimsuit size can be challenging, especially athletes new to competitive swimming. Sizing swimwear using only waist and chest measurement will get you headed in the right direction.

How to take proper swimsuit measurements

Taking fresh measurements and matching them to a swimsuit size chart is the best approach for a great fit.

  • Take measurements on bare skin

  • Use a soft tape to measure. No rulers - no metal take measurements - soft tape only!

  • Tape should lay flat, without indenting skin.

Gentlemen

  • Measure 1" below your navel to determinate your waist size. Waist measurement equate to the suit size

  • Do NOT use the pants size shortcut!

Chest and Hips

All bodies are different, and women with greater variations between chest and hip size may want to consider downsizing or upsizing as followers:

  • Small chest / large hips - consider upsizing above chest measurement guidelines.

  • Big chest / small hips - consider downsizing above chest measurement guidelines.

What NOT to do

Don't reference a size from an old swimsuit!

  • Old swimsuits can be streched out and will not index your current sizing needs.

  • Department store swimsuits brands are not designated or cut to fit like fitness swimwear.

  • Sizes can vary across brands & swim cuts change over time.

Don't let someone else order from you!

Don't use your pants waist size for buying a gentlemen suit.

How can I tell if my swimsuit is too big or small?

Too BIG suit - material is wrinkled or bagging.

  • Bag = Drag! Any bag or wrinkles will cause unwanted drag during your race or workout.

Women

  • Scooping at neck occurs when holding a "streamline" position.

  • Suit strap can be raised to ear height.

  • The open part of suit back lifts off the skin.

Too Small suit

  • It causes excessive muffin topping anywhere on the body.

  • Your chest is spilling out of suit.

Swimsuit care

Always follow swimsuit care and instructions for the given swimsuit.

Here are just some general tips:

  • Rinse ASAP (chlorine and body oils are not good for swimsuits)

  • Do NOT use hot water! Even hot tub water is too hot for the special fibers used in swimsuits.

  • Hand-wash only. Machine hand-wash still can damage the suit (especially stretch during rolling with other clothes in the washer)

  • If you want to use soap, use only soap or detergent meant for delicates. Regular detergent is just too harsh. At the end make sure the suit is throughly rinsed and no soap is left on the swimsuit.

  • Do not wring the last drop of water. Doing so can extensively stretch the suit's fibers and seams. Instead you can roll the suit in a towel and squeeze the water of into the towel.

  • Make sure the swimsuit drys completely before it is put away. Avoid sunshine to dry the suit.

  • Rotate suits if possible. It take up to twenty-four hours for the memory fabric to regain its shape back.
