One Piece Styles - What's the difference
We have three styles of one piece to select from, depending on the preference of your group or club.
All our One Piece styles have the option of either our Recycled Chlorine Proof Atlantis Fabric or our Recycled Extra Life Lycra. You can read more about our fabrics here. We also line front and back of all our swimwear with a black or nude lining.
V Back
The V-Back swimsuit represents a significant advancement in swimwear design, particularly for athletes and enthusiasts engaged in lap swimming. This garment is meticulously crafted to enhance performance through its unique structural features.
One of the standout characteristics of the V-Back swimsuit is its open back design. This feature is specifically engineered to maximize shoulder movement, allowing for a greater range of motion during swimming strokes. Research indicates that unrestricted shoulder mobility can lead to improved stroke efficiency and reduced fatigue, making this design particularly beneficial for competitive swimmers.
The swimsuit incorporates single binding straps, which not only contribute to the aesthetic appeal but also serve a functional purpose. These straps are designed to provide adequate support without compromising comfort. The minimal back coverage ensures that swimmers experience less drag, which is crucial for maintaining speed in the water. Studies have shown that reducing drag can enhance overall performance by as much as 10%, underscoring the importance of thoughtful design in swimwear.
Additionally, the V-Back swimsuit features moderate cut coverage for the bum. This design choice strikes a balance between coverage and freedom of movement, allowing swimmers to perform at their best without feeling restricted. The moderate cut is particularly advantageous for lap swimming, where comfort and functionality are paramount.
Its open back design, single binding straps, and moderate cut coverage collectively contribute to a superior swimming experience. For those engaged in lap swimming, this swimsuit not only meets but exceeds the demands of the sport, making it a valuable addition to any swimmer's wardrobe.
T Curl
The T-Curl swimsuit is designed to meet the needs of swimmers seeking both functionality and style. This training cut swimsuit is characterised by its versatile design, making it suitable for a wide range of body types. The construction of the T-Curl incorporates a single binding strap, which not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also ensures a secure fit during rigorous swimming sessions.
One of the standout features of the T-Curl is its moderate back coverage, which is complemented by a keyhole design. This design element not only adds a touch of sophistication but also allows for ease of movement, essential for effective lap swimming. The keyhole back facilitates ventilation, helping to keep the swimmer cool and comfortable, particularly during extended periods in the water.
In terms of coverage, the T-Curl provides full cut coverage for the bum, which is a critical aspect for many swimmers. This feature ensures that the swimsuit remains in place, allowing for unhindered performance in the pool. The full cut design also contributes to the overall comfort of the wearer, as it minimizes the risk of shifting or adjusting during swimming activities.
Comfort is paramount in swimwear, and the T-Curl excels in this regard. The materials used in its construction are selected for their durability and stretchability, allowing for a snug yet comfortable fit. This is particularly important for athletes who require swimwear that can withstand the rigors of training while providing the necessary support.
In summary, the T-Curl swimsuit is an exemplary choice for swimmers of all levels. Its combination of a classic training cut, supportive features, and stylish design makes it a valuable addition to any swimmer's wardrobe. Whether for competitive training or recreational swimming, the T-Curl is engineered to enhance performance while ensuring comfort and confidence in the water.
Aquacut
The Aquacut training one piece has garnered a reputation as a favoured choice among athletes and fitness enthusiasts. This swimsuit is designed to provide full coverage, making it an ideal option for rigorous training sessions. Its construction features thick straps that enhance both comfort and support, ensuring that users can focus on their performance without distraction.
One of the standout attributes of the Aquacut is its emphasis on maximum coverage. This design element is particularly beneficial for individuals who require additional support across the bust and back. The full coverage aspect not only promotes confidence during workouts but also contributes to the overall functionality of the garment. Proper support during physical activity can significantly reduce discomfort and enhance performance, making the Aquacut a practical choice for training.
The thick straps of the Aquacut are engineered to distribute weight evenly across the shoulders, minimizing pressure points that can lead to discomfort during extended wear. This feature is essential for athletes who engage in high-intensity training or prolonged swim sessions. Research shows that garments designed with ergonomic considerations can improve user experience and performance outcomes.
In addition to its functional benefits, the Aquacut is crafted from high-quality materials that ensure durability and longevity. The fabric is designed to withstand the rigors of training while maintaining its shape and support over time. This durability is crucial for athletes who rely on their gear to perform consistently under various conditions.
The Aquacut training one piece is a thoughtfully designed garment that prioritizes coverage, support, and comfort.
