Places to buy swim apparel

Types of Swim Apparel 







Swim Parka










Swim suit types

Jammer

















Swim Brief known as a "speedo"
















Square Leg Swim Suit














The most commonly used swim suits for competitive swimming are the jammers and the the Briefs known to most as "speedos".  The other types of suits are not normally used since they create a lot of drag that slows the swimmers down.

The swim parka has many different uses.  You can use a parka to stay warm while you are stretching, when you are waiting for your event to start, and after a swimming event to stay warm since you will have moisture on your body.  The swim parkas are made to cover your most of your body.  They have a hood that covers your head and then are long enough to go down past your knees.


Here is a very popular website to use to buy multiple different swim products:
www.swimoutlet.com
www.tyr.com
www.speedo.com
www.nike.com
