FAQs

What does 'compressive fit' mean for this swimsuit?

A compressive fit means the fabric is designed to be very snug against the body. It applies gentle pressure to muscles, which can help reduce muscle vibration, potentially improve blood flow, and provide a feeling of support. For this Adizero suit, the compression is very high for maximum performance benefits.

Is this swimsuit suitable for everyday training?

While the suit's performance features are beneficial, the 'very compressive fit' is primarily designed for racing. For long, frequent training sessions, a less compressive suit might offer more comfort. However, some athletes prefer the support of a compressive suit even for training.

What is the purpose of the strategically placed tape?

The tape is engineered to enhance core positioning. This helps swimmers maintain a streamlined body shape in the water, reducing resistance and improving propulsion efficiency.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

The Adizero suit has a 'very compressive fit'. Ensure you consult the adidas sizing chart carefully. The suit should feel snug and supportive all over, without restricting breathing or causing excessive discomfort that impairs performance. It's normal for it to take a moment to put on.

Can I use this suit in a chlorine pool regularly?

While the fabric is durable, regular exposure to chlorine can degrade swimwear over time. It is essential to rinse the suit thoroughly with cold, fresh water immediately after every swim, regardless of whether it was in a chlorinated pool or saltwater.

What does 'FINA Approved' mean?

FINA (Fédération Internationale de Natation) is the international governing body for aquatic sports. 'FINA Approved' means the swimsuit meets their strict regulations for material, design, and coverage, making it legal for use in official FINA-sanctioned competitions.

Troubleshooting

Suit feels too tight

Due to the highly compressive design, ensure you have selected the correct size according to the size chart. If it's still too tight, consider if this level of compression is suitable for your intended use (e.g., racing vs. long training sessions).

Straps are digging in

Ensure the suit is the correct size. The elastic straps are designed to be secure; however, if they cause significant discomfort, double-check the fit and consider if the compression level is appropriate.

Fabric feels rough after washing

This can occur if the suit was not rinsed properly with fresh water after use or if exposed to harsh chemicals. Always rinse immediately after swimming and follow the hand-wash care instructions.
