Even for the younger swimmers out there, swimming is a very competitive sport. For young girls, high levels of competition begin early, therefore choosing a competitive swimwear of superior quality is crucial. For this reason, you should include a racing swimsuit on your wish list!
Whether you are an open-water/triathlon athlete, a youthful sprinter, or an endurance swimmer, a competitive swimsuit will provide you an advantage in your event. During every competitive swimming event, you will be assisted by special technologies to navigate through the water fast and effectively.
Everything you need to know about girls' swimwear for competition will be covered. We'll examine the advantages of donning one as well as the qualities to consider in a swimsuit. The kinds of swimsuits you can choose from and how they should fit will then be discussed. Lastly, we'll talk about proper care and storage because you'll want your suit to last.
Why Pick A Swimsuit For a Competition?
Swim shorts and a tankini or casual bathing suits are not the same as competition swimsuits. To enhance glide in the water, they are made to fit closer to the body. For leisurely beach swimming, a rash guard and a snorkel could be useful, but when racing, you need all of your speed. The technology you need to swim quickly is included in a best-selling competition swimsuit. Let's discuss the advantages of donning a swimsuit for a tournament.
1.Better Swimming Position
Swimsuits designed for competition offer superior support for the core, enabling you to maintain optimal swimming form. For fast and effective swimming, your swimming position is crucial. A girls' competition swimsuit will help you maintain your body in the best possible position throughout the event and will be recognisable throughout a race.
2.Maximum Body Lift
Competitive swimsuit design technology considers ideal hydrodynamics. When swimming, the material and seam location help to raise the body closer to the surface of the pool. Your body will suffer less drag the higher you are in the water, which will allow you to swim faster for less energy.
3.Best Comfort Amid Competition
Being at ease is crucial, particularly when competing. Any discomfort brought on by your swimwear is the last thing you want to be worrying about before and during your race. A competitive swimsuit of superior quality will be flexible and comfy. The finest ones will be constructed from a high-tech, exceptionally flexible knit fabric, like a blend of polyamide and elastane, sometimes known as spandex or Lycra.
Even though competition suits are made to fit closely to the body, there should be ample room for movement. Your swimwear shouldn't cause any chafing or constricted tightness.
Select A Fina-Approved Swimsuit
It is crucial to choose a suit that has received FINA approval. You will not be permitted to utilise an unapproved swimwear during competition. USA Swimming has requirements on tech suits for swimmers 12 years of age and under, in addition to FINA approval.
A green checkmark, typically found on the back of the suit, is attached to a lot of swimsuits that are approved for children under the age of twelve. See the official USA Swimming website for further details on swimsuit requirements for those 12 and younger.
All of Abely Girls' competition swimsuits are FINA-approved and compliant with USA Swimming regulations for use by children 12 and under.
Swimsuit Types For Girls In Competition
You can choose from two different styles of girls' one-piece swimsuits for competition. The hips of the first style of suit are cut higher. The second, known as a kneeskin, is made of cloth that resembles the cut on a boy's jammer and runs down the thighs to just above the knees.
Both styles of swimwear feature an open back, popularly referred to as a racer-back. Compared to small straps, their thick straps offer greater support and longevity. Let's examine each of these competition suit categories in more detail.
1.At-The-Hips Cut Swimsuit For Girls
Abely swimsuits with hip cuts, such as the Powerskin ST Classic and the Powerskin R-EVO Classic Junior, are excellent examples of competitive swimwear. The legs feel natural wearing these outfits. They provide core stability during swimming by increasing compression in the midsection.
If you would like feel more like you are swimming with your legs feeling naturally, this style of suit is an excellent option. Better buoyancy, hydrodynamics, comfort, and other features you would expect from a high-quality race suit make these suits ideal for competition.
2.Swimsuit For Above-The-Knee Cut Girls
Swimsuits from Abelly, such as the Powerskin ST 2.0 and the Powerskin R-EVO ONE Youth, are excellent choices for kneeskin racing suits because they are trimmed just above the knee. Compression is applied to the thighs and core region using these garments. Your buoyancy is improved and your hydrodynamics are increased by the additional fabric around your thighs.
Highly competitive swimmers look best in swimsuits trimmed slightly above the knee. You get the best performance out of a competition swimsuit that has been certified by FINA thanks to the additional compression.
How Should The Competition Swimsuit Fit Girls?
An important factor in a swimsuit is fit. The advantages of a well-fitting swimwear will increase. A suit that fits you precisely will make you feel more at ease and improve your performance in every race.
Although it shouldn't limit your range of motion, your suit should fit snugly around your body. Your ability to glide through the water will be enhanced by a snug fit, which guarantees that the swimsuit will compress you just enough. It's probably too tight if the suit seems like it's limiting your range of motion. To swim, you must be able to move freely. If not, you might do less well.

How To Maintain Your Swimsuit For Competition?
If you take proper care of it, your competition swimsuit can last a long time. You can prolong the life of your swimsuit by avoiding chlorine, washing it safely, and keeping proper storage practices. Let's talk about how to store and maintain your race outfit properly.
1.Following a Swim Meet
You should immediately rinse your suit with clean, non-chlorinated water after a swim meet. Even though Abely swimwear is constructed from unique textiles that are resistant to chlorine, it is a good idea to remove any extra chlorine from the material after each usage. After washing, hang the suit to dry in a cool location, away from heat sources and direct sunshine.
2.Method Of Washing
Use only gentle fabric detergents when hand washing your swimwear. Never dry clean or machine wash your swimwear. Don't iron, bleach, or dry clean your swimsuit. The suit should be washed with detergent, rinsed with clean water, and hung to dry in a cool location.
3.Adequate Storage
It is best to let your swimwear air dry completely before storing. The materials are not meant for a wet swimsuit to be kept in a bag or backpack. Never leave your swimwear in a hot car or in a suitcase exposed to the sun. A cool, dry spot is the ideal way to keep your swimwear while not in use.
Snatch Up Your Clothes And Beat The Competition
Any young girl who is serious about competing needs to have a competitive swimsuit. Your next race could benefit from the advantage these unique swimwear can provide. You'll be more comfortable and able to arrange your body correctly in the water to swim your best in the upcoming race. Simply make sure the suit is approved by FINA and take proper care of it. After that, all you have to do to get ready for the race is grab your swimming goggles and swim cap!
