Swimming Uniforms


Swimming UniformSwimmers are finally getting some major innovations to their suits!  Unlike most other sports, moisture management fabrics did not invade the marketplace to keep you dry (it would be a bit of a lost cause) so there haven’t been many “game changers” until the new ultra-compression suits were released from the major brands.  Tyr has a version of this suit called their Tracer Light Aeroback full body swimming uniform.  Both Dolfin and Tyr have competition suits, training suits, racers and jammers, so it becomes a question of who has the colors or patterns you prefer, and what your budget allows.  Most swimsuits are made with Lycra, but there are also some made with Polyester and Spandex.  Lycra and Spandex have great stretching properties, and Polyester has fantastic colorfastness for your swimming uniforms.Swimming Uniform

Get it Right

Once you decide the style of your uniform, it’s time to request sizing samples.  Let each swimmer carefully determine their own size so you don’t have to revisit your swimming uniforms once they come in from the manufacturer.  Now it’s time to stand apart from the other teams.  To easily identify your swimmers, be sure to get custom-printed swimming caps.  Ampro can print directly onto the caps to complete the team’s swimming uniforms and differentiate them from the other teams.  Many teams also choose to print their jammers.  For all these expandable garments we use a proprietary ink formulation that has excellent stretching properties and is resistant to chipping, fading and bleeding. 

Stay Dry

Once you’ve chosen your swimming uniform, almost equally important are your warm-ups.  Parkas, hoodies, and sweatpants are practically part of any swimming uniform anyway.  Tyr makes an excellent slim-fit parka with a Polyester shell and micro fleece lining to stay warm between events.  There are two ways to go for warm-ups.  Either put together a warm-up that comprised of a hoody and sweatpant, or choose a warm-up suit from Tyr, Adidas or Under Armour that matches from head to toe.  Micro-fleece is great, although it is definitely not absorbent, so many teams have chosen cotton-based warm-ups that will absorb moisture and dry quickly.

Boosters

If you are looking for a booster club item, ask your Ampro team specialist about towels.  Port Authority makes a beautiful cotton terry towel that you could embroider with your team name or logo to sell at meets.  We also have a ton of specialty promotional items that can be customized for fund-raisers and raffles.  It’s our responsibility to find the best fit for your team’s budget and priorities.  We’re here to take the pain out of your next swimming uniform purchase.
