Men's Swimwear – Guide to Styles and Materials

Main types of men's swimwear

Boxer swimsuits from brands like ADIDAS and Calvin Klein offer a balance between coverage and freedom of movement, ideal for vacations and recreational swimming. Swim briefs such as Arena and Speedo models minimize water resistance and are essential for serious training and competitions. Longer swim shorts are a popular choice for those who prefer more coverage and a casual beach style.

Materials that make a difference

Quality swimwear is made from polyamide or polyester-elastane blends that dry quickly and maintain their shape after numerous washes. Materials with added lycra or spandex (typically 10-20%) ensure elasticity and body-hugging fit without constriction. Avoid pure cotton swimsuits that absorb water, dry slowly and lose their shape after just a few uses.

Protection against chlorine and saltwater

If you plan regular pool visits, look for models labeled 'chlorine resistant' as offered by Arena and Speedo – these materials withstand aggressive chemicals and don't fade after dozens of training sessions. For ocean swimming, quick water circulation through the fabric is important to prevent salt retention that damages fibers. Brands like PUMA and EA7 use polyester technologies that perform equally well in pools and seawater.

How to choose the right size and fit

Swimwear must fit snugly against the body without constriction – an oversized suit creates water resistance and reduces swimming efficiency, while one that's too tight leaves marks on the skin and restricts movement. Boxer models from BOSS and Superdry often feature adjustable drawstrings at the waist for additional customization. Always check the manufacturer's size chart as sizing differs between brands, especially between European (Arena, ADIDAS) and American (Speedo, Russell Athletic) manufacturers.

Maintenance tips for longevity

Rinse your swimsuit in cold water immediately after use to remove chlorine, salt and sand that degrade elastic fibers. Never wring out the material – just gently squeeze out excess water and lay flat to air-dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid machine washing and drying which dramatically shorten the swimsuit's lifespan. A quality model with proper care can last two to three seasons of regular use.
