Can I wear a Speedo in Japan?
Swimwear. Unlike France, men can wear their choice of beach-type shorts, speedos, mankini, wetsuit, whatever. For women, again there are no rules, and you’ve a very flexible line up of choices. There are bikinis (especially at outdoor pools) and swimsuits as standard, but also a whole lot of other options too. Bodysuits were banned by World Aquatics in 2010. Olympic swimsuits have evolved over the last few decades. Up until the 1996 Atlanta Games, men generally wore suits that covered as little skin as possible. Swimmers would shave their bodies as a way to gain speed.Swimmers maintain their bikini line and underarms on a weekly basis as they are practically living in a swimsuit 12 months a year. Shaving down is saved for the competitions where athletes are expected to perform their best. Such as the Olympic Games or World Championships. Generally this occurs only 1-2 times a year.
What Speedo fabric is best for swimming?
Fabric. If you swim once a week or more then Endurance+ fabric is for you. Comfortable and quick drying, it’s also 100% chlorine resistant for long lasting performance. If you swim less than once a week then Endurance 10 is a great fabric choice. Polyester swimwear is ideal for frequent swimmers and those who swim in chlorinated pools. It’s also great for competitive swimming due to its longevity. Bondi Joe’s range of mens swim trunks are made from 100% recycled polyester fabrics.
