The best part about lap swimming is that you don&#8217;t need too much equipment to get into the sport. A swim cap, goggles, and the best swimsuit for lap swimming will get you started.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A quality training swimsuit will improve your overall swimming experience. With so many options to choose from, you might feel somewhat overwhelmed when researching the best swimsuit for lap swimming. This article aims to help you understand everything you need to know about the types of swimsuits that are used for swim training.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, we&#8217;ll cover what qualities to look for. Then, we&#8217;ll explore what distinguishes a swimsuit for lap swimming from other types of swimsuits on the market. Then, we&#8217;ll look into the various types of lap swimming suits for both men and women and explore which one will work best for your needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Makes the Best Swimsuit for Lap Swimming?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best swimsuit for lap swimming should be comfortable and designed to last you through many swim training sessions. When looking for a new swimsuit, make sure it provides a good range of motion, reduces drag, and is durable. Keep your eye out for suits that dry quickly, provide UV protection, and are comfortable to wear.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s go over each of these elements that make for a good training suit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Good Range of Motion<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintaining a good range of motion is necessary to get the most out of each swim workout. The best swimsuits for lap swimming are constructed from materials like polyester that allow for maximum range of motion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finding a swimsuit that allows for maximum range of motion is particularly important when looking for a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arenasport.com\/en_us\/004037-women-s-arena-one-perspectice-one-piece.html?_gl=1*855vqo*_up*MQ..&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAvOeQBhBkEiwAxutUVCiXSxQ1nHa86lORoVd_Cke-yKYdbLUSVpnrXMIFp8_alWHkKCSu-RoCJXwQAvD_BwE\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">one-piece women&#8217;s swimsuit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Quality fabric that is flexible will allow you to have free mobility through your midsection in a one-piece swimsuit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For men, if you want to wear <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arenasport.com\/en_us\/004200-men-s-lighting-colors-jammer.html?_gl=1*1hpy1tv*_up*MQ..&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAvOeQBhBkEiwAxutUVCiXSxQ1nHa86lORoVd_Cke-yKYdbLUSVpnrXMIFp8_alWHkKCSu-RoCJXwQAvD_BwE\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a jammer-style swimsuit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a suit that maintains mobility through your legs and hips will ensure your kick is unencumbered. Particularly for breaststroke kicking, you will need maximum mobility from your suit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Improved Drag Reduction<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drag reduction is another element to look for in a good swimsuit for lap swimming. Bathing suits worn for leisurely swimming create a lot of drag as you move through the water, ultimately making swimming more difficult. Swimsuits designed specifically for lap swimming hug your body and allow you to glide through the swimming pool.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Excellent Durability<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chlorine can be hard on swimsuits, so it is important to keep an eye out for a chlorine-resistant lap swimming suit. After all, you want your swimsuit to last you many sessions in the water.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Quick Drying<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u200bQuick-drying fabric is an excellent feature for your swimsuit to have. Swimsuits can become damaged if left in a bag while still wet. Having a suit that dries fast makes it much easier for you to properly rinse, dry, and store your suit until your next swim workout.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>UPF Protection<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UPF protection is designed to keep your skin safe from harmful UV rays. Some lap swimming suits are designed with fabrics that block UV rays, preventing damage to your skin. The higher the UV rating number on a swimsuit, the more sun protection your skin will have. A UV rating of 50+ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skincancer.org\/skin-cancer-prevention\/sun-protection\/sun-protective-clothing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">blocks 98% of the sun&#8217;s rays<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. All arena swimsuits for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arenasport.com\/en_us\/men\/swimwear\/training-suits.html?_gl=1*1n6xqjl*_up*MQ..&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAyPyQBhB6EiwAFUuakukRSxFYO5FoPusYQHbNfc1mss9PkTmE4_1yKNnBaciKl7i7W1d6YxoCndkQAvD_BwE\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">men<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arenasport.com\/en_us\/women\/swimwear\/training-suits.html?_gl=1*1n6xqjl*_up*MQ..&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAyPyQBhB6EiwAFUuakukRSxFYO5FoPusYQHbNfc1mss9PkTmE4_1yKNnBaciKl7i7W1d6YxoCndkQAvD_BwE\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">women<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are made with UPF 50+ fabrics.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Lasting Comfort<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, your swimsuit should have a comfortable fit. Quality fabrics will limit your chances of experiencing chafing throughout swim sessions. The swimsuit fabric should feel soft against your skin and stay soft after with proper care.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Is the Difference Between Lap Swimsuits and Other Swimsuits?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-91381 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.arenaswim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/underwater-shot-of-a-swimmer.jpg\" alt=\"Underwater shot of a swimmer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.arenaswim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/underwater-shot-of-a-swimmer.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog.arenaswim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/underwater-shot-of-a-swimmer-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.arenaswim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/underwater-shot-of-a-swimmer-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lap swimsuits are your best option for day-to-day training and can be used for lap swimming, water aerobics, or even water polo. These suits differ from race suits and more specialized suits used for open-water swimming and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.arenaswim.com\/us\/triathlon-open-water-us\/swim-workouts-for-triathlons\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">triathlons<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They are also quite different from beachwear swimsuits meant for more casual use. Let&#8217;s cover the differences in each of these swimsuit types.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arenasport.com\/en_us\/men\/swimwear\/race-suits.html?_gl=1*1smdws3*_up*MQ..&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAvOeQBhBkEiwAxutUVCiXSxQ1nHa86lORoVd_Cke-yKYdbLUSVpnrXMIFp8_alWHkKCSu-RoCJXwQAvD_BwE\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Race suits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are used by competitive swimmers and are designed to optimize your speed during swim events. These suits are constructed with different fabrics and have higher compression levels than your average training suit. Due to the advanced technology that goes into making quality race suits, they are often much more expensive than a training suit will be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specialized <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arenasport.com\/en_us\/women\/swimwear\/openwater-suits.html?_gl=1*90s32h*_up*MQ..&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAvOeQBhBkEiwAxutUVCiXSxQ1nHa86lORoVd_Cke-yKYdbLUSVpnrXMIFp8_alWHkKCSu-RoCJXwQAvD_BwE\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">open-water swimsuits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, like those used by triathletes and open-water swimmers, are quite different in construction from lap swimming suits. These suits often provide full coverage to optimize buoyancy and glide in open-water swimming conditions. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arenasport.com\/en_us\/men\/swimwear\/wetsuits.html?_gl=1*1hxjv8w*_up*MQ..&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAvOeQBhBkEiwAxutUVCiXSxQ1nHa86lORoVd_Cke-yKYdbLUSVpnrXMIFp8_alWHkKCSu-RoCJXwQAvD_BwE\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wetsuits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are another suit type used by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.arenaswim.com\/us\/triathlon-open-water-us\/thermal-swimwear\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">open-water swimmers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to stay warm in cold water conditions. These suits are often unnecessary in a pool environment and are best used in oceans or lakes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arenasport.com\/en_us\/women\/swimwear\/beachwear.html?_gl=1*124e28*_up*MQ..&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAvOeQBhBkEiwAxutUVCiXSxQ1nHa86lORoVd_Cke-yKYdbLUSVpnrXMIFp8_alWHkKCSu-RoCJXwQAvD_BwE\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beachwear swimsuits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are not designed to hug your body as closely and prove inconvenient during lap swimming. These suits are great for casual settings, but when you want to train hard at the pool, you&#8217;re better off opting for a training suit that reduces drag and is comfortable to swim in.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Type of Lap Swimsuit is Best for You?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When choosing a swimsuit, you have a handful of styles to select from. For women, you can choose a one-piece suit or a two-piece suit. For men, you have a choice of a brief swimsuit, a swim short, or a jammer. Let&#8217;s go over each style to decide which is best for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Women&#8217;s One-Piece Suit vs. Two-Piece Suit<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One-piece swimsuits provide the most body coverage. More coverage means more protection from the sun. You might also find that a one-piece suit feels more secure on your body as you swim, but this comes down to your body type and personal preference. You can also choose different back closures on one-piece swimsuits, like a racerback with wider straps or a lace back with thin straps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arenasport.com\/en_us\/women\/swimwear\/bikini.html?_gl=1*6bjzvu*_up*MQ..&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAvOeQBhBkEiwAxutUVCiXSxQ1nHa86lORoVd_Cke-yKYdbLUSVpnrXMIFp8_alWHkKCSu-RoCJXwQAvD_BwE\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two-piece swimsuits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are great athletic swimsuits for training and can also be used as leisure swimwear. These suits consist of a bikini top and a bikini bottom. If you prefer to get more sun while you swim, a two-piece might be for you, as your midsection will be uncovered in a two-piece. You also have the option of interchanging tops and bottoms, choosing between bandeaus, tankinis, adjustable strap tie-backs, or triangle cuts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Men&#8217;s Brief Swimsuit vs. Swim Short vs. Jammer Swimsuit<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Men&#8217;s brief swimsuits use much less material. The short cut provides an excellent range of motion and reduces drag. Some swimmers prefer this cut for training, and the decision to wear briefs comes down to personal preference and feel in the water. On another note, these suits tend to be somewhat easier to get on and off than jammers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you like the idea of the freedom of movement provided by a swim brief, but want a little more coverage, you should consider the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arenasport.com\/en_us\/003462-kikko-low-waisted-short.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">swim short<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These swimsuits are very similar in design to the swimming brief mentioned above but have a cut that provides more coverage around the bottom of the suit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, jammers make an excellent choice for lap swimming. If you prefer more coverage on your legs, a jammer will work perfectly while still maintaining reduced drag during your swim training. The added coverage can protect your skin from the sun.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Choose Your Suit and Enjoy Your Time In It<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-91369\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.arenaswim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/swimmer-holding-goggles.jpg\" alt=\"Best swimsuit for lap swimming: swimmer holding goggles\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.arenaswim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/swimmer-holding-goggles.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog.arenaswim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/swimmer-holding-goggles-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.arenaswim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/swimmer-holding-goggles-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there are many suits on the market for lap swimming, choosing one doesn&#8217;t have to be complicated.
