In the UK, competition swimwear must meet strict regulations set by governing bodies, such as Swim England, ensuring fair play and optimal performance.
In addition to national regulations, racing swimwear is also subject to the standards set by the Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA). FINA approved swimwear is specifically designed to ensure compliance with international competition standards, further guaranteeing that athletes have the best possible tools to perform at their peak.
