Swimwear Guidance for the Pool Swimwear guidance for the pool Swimming is one of the most accessible and inclusive activities and everyone should feel confident and comfortable while in the water. Over the years swimwear has come on leaps and bounds. So have policies relating to guidance about what you can wear in pools. It’s important you feel confident and comfortable – but that you are also safe. What to wear in the pool There are different styles of swimwear. These include One-piece swimsuit Tankinis (long top) Bikinis Skirted swimsuits Swim shorts Trunks Swim briefs Depending on your local pool policy or the activity you are doing, a range of other types of clothing may be worn. This can include: Fitted t-shirt or leggings under swimwear Wetsuit style or fitted swimming t-shirt Burkini swimming costume 3/4 length swim shorts in thin nylon material Swim or board shorts Leggings with or without shorts What not to wear in the pool The important thing to note is that clothing shouldn’t be overly baggy or made of heavy materials such as denim or wool. These can become water logged and heavy, making it difficult to swim or float. It is also important to make sure pieces of clothing cannot get stuck in filters or other parts of a pool, which makes lycra a good material to wear. Other clothing which shouldn’t be worn includes: Leggings over swimwear Baggy t-shirt and trousers Tracksuits or jogging bottoms Outdoor shorts or trousers Jeans Please note: The above is guidance only. Please contact your local pool for further information and guidance on suitable swimwear. You can find contact details for your local pool using our PoolFinder listings. 1 Competitive swimwear In 2017, new swimwear guidance for competitive swimming was introduced which allows swimmers who wear full body suits to compete in all Swim England licensed swimming meets and national events.

Without the LDComfort™ shorts I experienced discomfort as soon as 40 minutes into a ride. After purchasing the LDComfort™ shorts I can ride comfortably in up to 95 degree temperatures. In higher temperatures, a minute or two standing on the pegs will evaporate the perspiration and I am good for another hour in the saddle. No longer do I wish for a giant cold shoe horn to pry my sorry butt out of the saddle after a long ride.

  • The Country of Origin Effect on Sports Apparel Users' Brand Perceptions
    DOES COUNTRY MATTER? The Country of Origin Effect on Sports Apparel Users' Brand Perceptions Marketing Master's thesis Liisa Räty 2009 Department of Marketing and Management HELSINGIN KAUPPAKORKEAKOULU HELSINKI SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS HELSINKI SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS (HSE) ABSTRACT Department of Marketing and Management August 2009 Master’s Thesis Liisa Räty DOES COUNTRY MATTER? The Country of Origin Effect on Sports Apparel Users’ Brand Perceptions Objectives The purpose of this master’s thesis is to study the factors that affect consumers’ perceptions of a brand and determine if country of origin is one of these factors. Country of origin is divided into country of manufacture, country of design and brand origin to simulate the complexity of the country of origin concept in today’s highly globalized economy. All three elements of country of origin are thought to affect brand image directly and indirectly through intrinsic and extrinsic product cues. Consumer values are also thought to influence the way in which country of origin information impacts brand image. Methods Data was collected using a web‐based questionnaire that was sent out to 1326 licensed competitive swimmers whose contact information was acquired from the Finnish Swimming Federation’s database. The questionnaire contained 44 statements measuring the respondent’s attitudes toward goods, clothes and swimwear produced or designed in Asia or Western countries as well as the overall importance of country of origin information in decision making. 343 usable questionnaires were returned. The data was analyzed using the t‐ test and ANOVA to determine if males and females or the different age groups differed in their attitudes.

  • STAN STATE SWIM ATTIRE Code
    STAN STATE SWIM ATTIRE Code PROPER BATHING ATTIRE MUST BE WORN IN THE POOL. IT MUST BE: 1. Designed for swimming 2. Made of Lycra, spandex, nylon, or neoprene 3. Lined Pool patrons often ask, "Why do I have to wear proper swimwear?" HERE ARE JUST A FEW REASONS AS TO WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO ONLY WEAR POOL ATTIRE IN THE POOL. 1. Street clothes (especially cotton) can transport airborne and ultimately water borne contaminants into the pool. 2. Swimwear worn for exercising prior to using the pool is unsanitary. Soiled clothing can create an unhealthy swimming environment. 3. Lycra and Nylon are the best non-absorbent material for swimming and are the best fabrics for proper swim attire. Other absorbent materials (such as cotton) can break down in the water and cause fibers to clog filters. Any “colored” material (unless specifically made for swimming) can bleed into the pool, affecting water chemistry and balance. Cotton and similar materials can absorb the chemicals in the water, causing the water to become less effective at maintaining the proper chemical balance or may cloud the water. Please use the pictures below as a guideline. ACCEPTABLE ATTIRE FOR WOMEN: Modest two- Must wear swimsuit One-piece suit Short-john suit bottoms with board shorts Fitness unitard piece suit Swim ShirT ACCEPTABLE ATTIRE FOR Men Men s Jammers Men s Briefs Swim Trunks Swim ShirT ʼ ʼ ACCEPTABLE ATTIRE FOR CHILDREN Required Swim BOYs SUIT Girls suit Girls ’ suit ʼ Diapers Swim ShirT ʼ ʼ UNACCEPTABLE ATTIRE Athletic Shorts Compression SPORTS BRA CUT OFFS Shorts - Leotard All undergarments and underwear are unacceptable.

    Chapter 7 APPLICATIONS OF COMPRESSION SPORTSWEAR Praburaj Venkatraman and David Tyler Table of contents 1. Introduction 2. Background and rationale 3. Compression and its influence on physiology 4. Compression for medical uses 5. Evaluation of compression for sportswear 5.1 Effects of using compression garments 6. Application of compression sportswear 6.1Cycling 6.2 Skiing 6.3 Rugby 7 Market trends in compression sportswear 8 Contextual factors affecting compression garment performance 1. Garment sizing 2. Body shape 3. Sizing and designing with stretch fabrics 4. Fabric panels 9 Summary and conclusions 10 References 1.0 INTRODUCTION Sport and exercise involves physical movement of the body (torso, upper and lower limbs) and, in some cases, amateurs and professionals alike endure soft tissue injury. At the elite level, improved individual performance during a tournament or a game is vital. Many athletes consider that compression of muscles to support, enhance muscle alignment and improve the efficiency of muscle movements is essential. They also adopt the adage of strapping the injured part to assist recovery from injury. In recent years, there has been an increase in usage and demand for compression garments for a 1 number of sportswear applications and recreational activities due to their ability to offer functional support to the wearer. The main aim of this chapter is to present research relating to compression garments and highlight the recent developments relating to specific sports such as cycling, skiing and rugby. The benefits of compression garments were documented in various settings (sports, clinical and non-clinical), although convincing evidence remains elusive. The reported benefits of using compression garments were mainly in enhancing blood circulation, reducing the recurrence of injury, aiding recovery, providing muscle support and reducing muscle soreness.
