FAQs
Is this suit suitable for all swimming strokes?
Yes, the open-back design and lightweight fabric allow for a full range of motion, making it suitable for all competitive swimming strokes.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
The suit should fit snugly like a second skin, providing compression without restricting breathing or movement. Refer to the Arena sizing guide for measurements.
How often should I replace my tech suit?
The lifespan of a tech suit depends on usage frequency and care. For optimal performance, it's recommended to replace it when the compression decreases or the fabric shows signs of wear, typically after significant training and racing use.
What makes this suit 'eco-friendly'?
The suit is made from 60% recycled fabric derived from pre- and post-consumer textile waste, contributing to a more sustainable approach in swimwear production.
Can this suit be used for training and competition?
Yes, it's designed as an entry-level tech suit or advanced training swimsuit, offering a balance of compression and ease of use suitable for both.
What does 'World Aquatics/FINA-approved' mean?
It signifies that the swimsuit meets the technical regulations set by World Aquatics (formerly FINA) for competitive swimwear, allowing its use in official events.
Troubleshooting
Suit feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the Arena sizing chart. Racing suits are designed to be compressive, but should not impede breathing. Try a different size if necessary.
Fabric feels rough or worn after a few uses
This can be due to improper rinsing or drying. Always rinse with cold, fresh water after use, and hang dry away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid contact with rough surfaces.
Seams are uncomfortable or causing irritation
The flatlock seams are designed for comfort. Ensure the suit is positioned correctly on your body. If irritation persists, the suit may not be the right fit for your body shape.
