Competitive swimwear is specially designed clothing used by swimmers during races. It is made from lightweight, stretchy materials that reduce drag in the water, helping athletes swim faster. The suits often feature streamlined designs and may cover different parts of the body, depending on the type of race and swimmer preference. These swimsuits are commonly used in events governed by organizations like FINA (Fédération Internationale de Natation), which sets the rules for competitive swimming. Competitive swimwear can include one-piece suits, jammers, and tech suits, each tailored to enhance performance and provide comfort during competitions.
