The Outdoor Swimmer team put ZOGGS new supportive swimwear to the test PLUS get 20% off with code ‘SUPPORT20’
One of the best things about swimming is that once you have learnt to swim, you can do so at any age and any level of ability. The water doesn’t care what shape your body is or how fast you can or can’t swim.
Swimmers achieve amazing things in the water at all shapes and sizes which is why it is essential that you find swimwear that is comfortable and supportive for you! “It will do” is often muttered under frustrated breaths wriggling into swimsuits, but we shouldn’t settle with our swimwear.
We should feel great in a swimsuit in and out of the water. You should consider fit and comfort as much as you would a decent sports bra or pair of trainers for running. Swimwear should be snug so it doesn’t drag in the water, but it shouldn’t pitch or chafe either.
Designing swimming suits for all sorts of bodies is a challenge but there are plenty of options and with Zoggs swimwear support levels it is even easier to find something that will suit your body and the kind of swimming you like to do. As well as sustainable materials and beautiful prints, Zoggs swimwear has been designed with four levels of support.
Choosing swimwear can be daunting so these levels offer a practical guide to choosing the right suit for you. Look out for the support level icons when choosing your suit online or in-stores.
