Can you swim in a water polo suit?

This type of suit has sleeker and more revealing features with its skinny straps, cut-out backs, and high-cut legs. This is perfect also for lap swimming, open water swimming, and diving.

What is the difference between a water polo suit and a regular swimming brief?

The only difference is that the Water Polo swimsuit has an inner lining on both the front and the back. However, the Swimming suit only has the lining on the front. This causes the Water Polo swimsuit to be tighter to the body compared to the Swimming suit. Consequently, the size of the WP swimsuit is a bit smaller.

Why are water polo swimsuits different?

Water polo suits for women are made of an extra durable and rather non-elastic material that prevents ripping, tearing, grabbing, or the bunching of excess of fabric. Water polo swimsuit fabrics are specially designed to mold tightly to the player’s skin so that opponents have nothing extra to grab onto during play.

Why are they called swim trunks?

That term goes back centuries when people wore underwear under most of their body. And usually it covered the entire trunk of their body all the way down to their feet. People who went swimming would peel off their clothes and go in their underwear… their trunks.
