Men's swimwear serves different purposes depending on your swimming goals and environment. Whether you're training for competition, swimming laps for fitness, or enjoying recreational pool sessions, choosing the right style and fabric makes a significant difference to your comfort and performance in the water.
Jammers are the most popular choice among Australian swimmers, offering knee-length coverage that provides muscle support and streamlined performance. The extended coverage reduces drag while protecting your skin from chlorine and UV exposure during outdoor training sessions. Briefs offer maximum freedom of movement and are favoured by many competitive swimmers for their minimal water resistance, while aquashorts provide a more modest option for recreational swimmers who prefer additional coverage.
The choice between chlorine-resistant training swimwear and high-performance racing suits depends on your intended use. Chlorine-resistant fabrics like Speedo Endurance+, AMANZI Armor Eco, and Zoggs Ecolast+ offer exceptional durability for regular pool sessions, maintaining their shape and colour through countless training hours. These materials typically feature UPF 50+ sun protection, making them ideal for Australian swimmers training in outdoor pools.
Racing suits use lightweight, technical fabrics that prioritise hydrodynamics and compression over longevity. These suits feature water-repellent finishes, strategic compression zones, and minimal seam construction to reduce drag. Many incorporate recycled materials and advanced technologies for optimal performance during competition.
Look for secure elasticated waistbands with hidden drawstrings for a locked-in fit during dives and turns. Gusset lining provides additional comfort and support, while flat-seam construction reduces chafing during long training sessions. For racing, consider features like compressive inner leg seams for muscle support and precision leg grippers to prevent water ingress.
Speedo dominates the market with their comprehensive range from entry-level Endurance+ training suits to elite Fastskin LZR racing technology. Arena offers innovative racing suits with their Powerskin range featuring Hyperforce technology, while AMANZI provides excellent value chlorine-resistant options perfect for squad training. Engine and Zoggs round out the selection with durable training-focused designs.
