When it comes to swimwear, getting the right size for your body measurements is crucial for comfort and performance. Whether hitting the beach, training in the pool, or gearing up for a competition, an ill-fitting swimsuit can impact your confidence and movement.

 

At Sports Gear Swag, we want to ensure that you find the perfect fit for your body type and needs, and our comprehensive swimsuit size guide can help. Here’s a step-by-step guide to finding your perfect swimsuit size using our size chart as a reference.

 

1. Get Your Body Measurements Accurately

 

It's important to take accurate measurements before checking our specific brand’s size chart. Grab a measuring tape and follow these tips:

 

  • Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level under your arms and around your back. Knowing your bra size or cup size is also ideal.

 

  • Natural Waistline: Measure the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above your belly button.

 

  • Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape straight across.

 

Measure without pulling the tape too tight to ensure an accurate and comfortable fit for your body shape.

 

Check Local Guidelines: Swimwear requirements differ from place to place. For example, some universities don’t allow leotards, basketball shorts, and other clothes not specifically designed for swimming. Check local guidelines first before looking for your tailored-fit swimwear.

2. Understanding Our Size Chart

 

At Sports Gear Swag, we’ve made our chart as straightforward as possible, providing measurements in inches for different sizes. Once you’ve taken your body measurements, compare them to the ranges in our chart.

 

For example, if your bust size is 36 inches, your waist size is 29 inches, and your hip size is 37 inches, our size chart may indicate that a size Small (S) is the best fit for you.

 

Key Tips:

 

  • If you fall between sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size to ensure comfort for your torso length, waist measure, and beyond.

 

  • Consider the type of swimwear you're choosing. Competitive swimsuits are often designed for a snug fit, while leisure swimsuits may offer a looser fit.

 

3. Choose Between Compression and Comfort

 

The swimsuit style you need depends on the activity you're planning for. For competitive swimmers, the right swimsuit may have a tighter, compressive fit that can enhance performance by reducing drag. For casual swimmers, a looser, more comfortable fit for ease of movement may be better.

 

Refer to our size chart’s "Fit" descriptions to choose the style that suits your needs.

 

Child Safety: For small children, prioritize safety over perfect-fit one-piece swimsuits. Make them wear life jackets around the water. Maintain constant supervision even when other people surround the child.

 

4. Check the Fabric and Stretch

 

Swimsuits made from certain materials, like Lycra or spandex blends, may stretch more, while others may be more rigid. Keep this in mind when choosing your bathing suit size. If you’re between sizes and your swimsuit has a high spandex content, it may have enough stretch to accommodate your measurements comfortably.

 

5. Try Before You Swim

 

Once you’ve selected your swimsuit size, try it before hitting the water. Move around, simulate swim strokes, and check for comfort around key areas like the bust, hips, and waist. Are you getting enough bust support? Do you need adjustable straps for your torso? Swimsuits should feel snug but not restrictive.
