Full Body Swimsuits

Full body swimsuits are probably the most comfortable swimwear you can get. The slim silhouette with no waistband looks as good as it feels in the water.

When divers or swimmers daydream, they often imagine themselves floating weightless in water so warm and clear it creates the illusion of flight. Next time you're in a water paradise check what you're wearing. Just swim briefs, or nothing at all?

Well, flip out of it. In the real world, many experienced swimmers and divers wear some type of full body suit, even in the warmest and most benign waters. The warm tropical water sure feels good on the skin, until you accidentally bump into a bit of fire coral, or swim through a school of tiny jellyfish.

Divers and snorkelers looking for UV protection and a defense against sea lice, jellies and other biological irritants will love these super stretchy and comfortable swimsuits.

These suits are commonly made out of a stretch material which is basically an elastic fabric with a silky finish. It is also a great active wear when you are out doing your favorite water activities, or simply seeking protection against the sun UV radiation.

They come in different styles including built-in hood, and soft bra support for women just to name a few. Suits with front zip are easier to put on and off, back zip suits have a more comfortable fit when surfing or swimming.

When you're looking for maximum coverage and protection, full body swimsuits are your go-to option. These innovative suits offer complete sun and abrasion protection while allowing freedom of movement in the water. Perfect for snorkeling, diving, or any water sport adventure, full body swimsuits ensure you can fully enjoy your aquatic activities without worries.

Travel Tip

Take a fullbody swimsuit wherever you travel because it is so useful for many purposes. You can wear it on the beach, in the pool, and even sleep in it should moquitoes bother you at night. In your bag it takes up the space of two T-shirts.

Avoid Cheap Suits

by Suzie, Brisbane, Australia

My friends and I have enjoyed quite a few full body swimsuits, diveskins, and stingersuits. They feel much better than bikinis or regular swimsuits, because they cover the whole body without annoying straps.

However, the quality varies a lot with the different brands. Stay clear of the cheap $30 suits, those that look like one big fish net stocking. On the back of one packet it stated that the suits do not fully protect from sunburn and jellyfish.

Get a suit made of a solid dense fabric, preferably in a dark colour. Hold it up against the light to see how tight the weave is. We've got some proper suits that look and feel fantastic.

My Comfy Swimsuit

by Jacques, Paris, France

Last year I bought an all in one suit for my holiday to Greece. It was great fun to swim in the sea with this suit. At night I slept in it as it kept the mosquitoes away.

My swimsuit is so comfy that I wear it not only on the beach, but also in the local indoor pool, looking cool. With no waistband it feels almost like wearing nothing.

Full body swimsuits are now being sold in our local pool shop, because these suits are chlorine resistant and have a build-in swimcap (hood) for hygiene. Can't wait to get one and jump into the pool.
