Colour Warning

While blue is a popular color for swimwear, it may be noteworthy that light blue swimwear makes you almost invisible to the lifeguards and other swimmers. In swimming pools pale blue clothing is effectively camouflage. You just fade into the background.

The Joy of Swimming in Casual Clothes

Sometimes the best swimming experiences are the most spontaneous. On a warm day, you might find yourself near a lake, river, or beach without any swimwear to hand. Rather than missing out, taking a dip in your casual clothes can be a surprisingly fun and convenient alternative.

Swimming in everyday clothing is a new trend sport that is both fun and allows you to enjoy the moment without planning ahead. There is no need to carry extra kit or worry about changing facilities. If the weather is warm, a T-shirt and jeans can be perfectly suitable for a refreshing swim, especially when comfort and enjoyment matter more than appearances.

Many people also find that swimming in casual clothes feels more relaxed and natural. It removes the pressure of having the “right” swimwear and encourages a carefree attitude. Whether it is an impromptu paddle with friends or a quick cool-down on a hot afternoon, everyday clothing can make the experience feel adventurous and memorable.

Of course, safety should always come first. Lightweight clothes are generally more comfortable in the water than heavy garments, and swimmers should be aware that clothing can create extra drag. However, for a casual swim in safe conditions, ordinary clothes can be a practical solution when swimwear is unavailable.

No swimwear? No problem!

In the end, swimming is about enjoyment, not what you are wearing. When the opportunity arises and no swimwear is available, casuals can help you make the most of the moment. Carefully chosen clothes make fun in the water possible. No wardrobe malfunctions here. Sportswear and casuals can work well for watersports if you don't want to spend a lot on specialist gear.

Test Reviews

On this website you'll find tests and reviews of a wide variety of swimwear, waterwear, and travel reports. Our keen swimmers will check out any kit we get our hands on and write a review with links to suppliers.

First Look

When we see an interesting new product we write a brief report for our readers, either as part of an article or on a page of its own. This might happen at a shop, a trade show, or some other event.

Full Reviews

Whenever we get our hands on new swimwear we test it under realistic conditions for a detailed full review. These get updated over time after we've used the samples for a while.

First we try the products in the pool to see how they fit and feel to check how comfortable a swimsuit really is. Next we see how it performs during watersports like canoeing, sailing, or surfing, and how good the design is for readers who really enjoy watersports, rather than wear it as a fashion statement.

Manufacturers: Promote !

If you're a manufacturer or supplier of swimming clothes or watersport accessories, send us products for review. You get publicity on a busy website for the cost of a product sample. Reviews carry a clickable link to the supplier's website so our readers can order the products we've reviewed. If a supplier provides more than one item, they get a dedicated section with a company profile.

Affiliate Partnerships

When we come across really good products, we like to share them with our readers who come here to find the best and most original swimwear. If you run an affiliate program, talk to us.
