Pro Swimmers' Guide to swimming swimwear: Fit, Comfort & Style

The most important things summarized for you:

• Perfect fit and comfort: Professional swimmers prioritize swimwear that fits like a second skin, allows freedom of movement and minimizes water drag. Designs with adjustable straps, slim-fitting cuts and flat seams ensure optimal comfort.
• Durability and quality: High-quality materials such as chlorine-resistant fabric and long-lasting fabric blends are crucial. These increase the service life and ensure constant performance even during intensive use.
• Balance between function and style: Professional swimmers value swimwear that supports performance and at the same time boosts self-confidence with attractive designs. Colorful patterns and special details such as quotes inside the swimwear offer motivation and individuality.

How important is the right swimwear when it comes to performance? What do you look for in a swimsuit?

Anja Crevar: I believe the right swimwear is very important at the high-level. The swimsuit needs to be a "perfect-fit", to be right sized, comfortable enough but at the same time to keep water out. Also, I personally like to have some "cool" designs or bright colors.

Katja Fain: The swimsuit has to be comfortable enough to spend hours a day in it and it has to fit nicely for all those starts, turns and strokes I take. I really mostly go by the feeling of a swimsuit on my body in the water and that there is no additional drag.

Paulina Peda: It must adhere perfectly to the body but not rub. It's nice if it has some extras, for example a tie, which will make it more attractive but won't get in the way. Of course, color is also important - after all, we are women ;)

Tanja Stroschneider: I think of course a nice fit is important, because it feels good to feel fast in the water but of course also the look. If we feel good because we look good, that’s always a confidence boost.

Viktoria Fürst: The right swimwear is very important, as it needs to fit perfectly. When it feels like a second skin, it helps me swim faster and stay comfortable in the water.

Paulina Peda: I feel very comfortable and feminine in these outfits. Ties and adjustable straps allow you to better adjust the size.

Tanja Stroschneider: I love both: the fit AND the look and on top l love the little extras: like that each swimsuit has a little motivational quote on the inside. 

Viktoria Fürst: Jaze Swimwear fits incredibly well, and the designs are fantastic. I really appreciate the perfect fit and comfort, which allows me to focus entirely on my training.
