The criteria for an ideal sports swimsuit
Pay special attention to these elements for a well-designed jersey:
🔹 Optimal bust support – essential if you have a generous bust
🔹 Wide straps – they don’t dig into the shoulders and distribute the weight
🔹 “X back” or racerback style – more stability for swimming
🔹 Full coverage cut – to feel protected in all situations
🔹 Without rigid underwire (or with flexible underwire) – more comfort
🔹 Flat seams – to prevent chafing
🔹 Chlorine-resistant material – the swimsuit retains its shape
🔹 Quick-drying fabric – ideal after getting out of the water
✅ The more intense the exercise, the more every detail counts!

Which swimsuit for your body type?

🔹 Figure 8 (marked waist) : all shapes suit you!
🔹 I-shaped silhouette (straight) : opt for cutouts or colors placed to suggest curves
