The different functions of a swimsuit<\/h2>\r\nOriginally, the swimsuit, or the bathing dress, was used to cover the body rather than to provide support.\r\n\r\nThe modern swimsuit, with its current fitted design, made an entrance in the 20th century.\r\nIn addition to covering certain parts of the body that you wish to conceal, the swimsuit serves to reduce friction and optimize underwater movement and swimming efficiency. It also provides the support needed for certain water sports such as swimming, surfing, diving, scuba diving, water skiing, and others.\r\n\r\nThe swimsuit is also useful when doing certain water sports such as fishing and kayaking, because the synthetic fibers that make up the swimsuits dry quickly and generally remain comfortable even when wet."},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","content_anchor":true,"anchor_link_text":"The different types of swimsuits","text_content":"

The different types of swimsuits<\/h2>\r\nWondering what type of swimsuit<\/a> to choose?\r\n\r\nIf you're going for a leisurely swim or low-intensity water activity, you can choose a bikini, one-piece or tankini for women, or board shorts or boxer briefs for men. The pieces can be casual and offer just enough coverage.\r\n\r\nIf you're going fishing<\/a> or kayaking<\/a>, you can put on the swimsuit of your choice under your floatation jacket if the weather permits.\r\n\r\nIf you want to surf, play volleyball, actively swim, or paddleboard<\/a> (SUP), look for a rash guard or well-fitting, athletic cut swimsuit that gives you a good fit, increased freedom of movement, sufficient support, and some coverage from UV radiation.\r\n\r\nA positive thing to consider about long-sleeved bathing suits is that they cover the skin and better protect you from the sun\u2019s rays. This feature is ideal if you\u2019re looking to be out on the water all day.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to a wetsuit<\/a>, designed in neoprene, it is suitable for when the water temperatures are cooler (from 6 to 24 degrees celsius), as they help to protect you from the cold. Opt for this one if you could be dipping your body almost completely into the water. Note that different lengths and widths exist, as well as water shoes<\/a> for keeping your feet covered.\r\n\r\nFinally, a dry suit won\u2019t help you conserve your body heat, but it will keep you absolutely dry. This is useful if you\u2019re heading out kayaking, rafting, or heading down the river during the off season."},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","content_anchor":true,"anchor_link_text":"Borealis swimsuits","text_content":"
