When it comes to swimwear, getting the right size is crucial for comfort and performance. Whether you're hitting the beach, training in the pool, or gearing up for a competition, an ill-fitting swimsuit for your body type can impact your confidence and movement. At Sports Gear Swag, we want to ensure that you find the perfect fit for your needs, and our comprehensive swimsuit size guide can help.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to finding your swimsuit size using our size chart as a reference.
Before checking the sizing chart, it's important to take accurate measurements. Grab a tape measure and follow these tips:
Bust Measurement: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape measure level under your arms and around your back.
Waist Measurement: Measure the narrowest part of your natural waistline, which is usually just above your belly button.
Hip Measurement: Measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape measure straight across.
Make sure to measure without pulling the tape too tight for an accurate and comfortable fit.
Different Styles: Swimsuits are not the only option for swimming apparel. You can also wear winter wetsuits for cold water swimming, custom swimming shorts for a casual look, and more. It is important to select apparel that suits your activity and comfort level.
At Sports Gear Swag, we’ve made our size chart as straightforward as possible, providing measurements in inches for different sizes. Once you’ve taken your measurements, compare them to the ranges listed in our chart.
For example, if your bust measures 36 inches, your waist 29 inches, and your hips 37 inches, our size chart may indicate that a size Medium (M) is the best fit for optimal bust support, comfortable waist fit, and flattering hip contour.
Key Tips:
If you fall between sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size to ensure comfort.
Consider the type of swimwear you're choosing. Competitive swimsuits are often designed to fit snugly, while leisure swimsuits may offer a more relaxed fit.
The type of swimwear you need depends on the activity you're planning. For competitive swimmers, a tighter, compressive fit can enhance performance by reducing drag. For casual swimmers, you may prefer a looser, more comfortable fit for easy movement in cold water.
Refer to our swimsuit size chart below to help inform which size and style that best suits your frame.
Know the Rules: You may have the right bra size and perfect torso measurement for your torso length, but this doesn’t mean your swimsuit is suitable for every setting. Beaches may have more relaxed guidelines on what you can wear, while institutions like universities may have stricter requirements.
Swimsuits made from certain materials, like Lycra or spandex blends, may have more stretch, while others may be more rigid. Keep this in mind when choosing your size. If you’re between sizes and your swimsuit has a high spandex content, it may have enough stretch to accommodate your measurements comfortably.
Once you’ve selected your size, we recommend trying the swimsuit on before hitting the water to see if you have the right fit. Move around, simulate swim strokes, and check for comfort around key areas like the bust, hips, and waist. Swimsuits should feel like a second skin. They should have a snug fit with no excess material but not restrictive.
Remember to bring your other swimming essentials, such as your goggles and swimming cap, before you go to the water.
Fungal Infections: Sitting in a wet bathing suit for too long can be harmful as it provides the perfect conditions for fungus. You can get a yeast infection, jock itch, and other fungal infections if you don’t wear other clothing while you are out of the water.
Choosing the right swimsuit size ensures comfort, confidence, and performance in the water. By following our measurement guide and size chart, you can find the perfect fit for your needs. Whether you prefer a snug, competition-ready suit or a relaxed fit for leisure, selecting the right size will enhance your swimming experience.
