1) Yingfa offers you the best women competition swimwear so that your performance remains unbeatable

In the earlier days when swimming used to be a mere recreational activity for people to kill their time, swimming costumes were not much higher priority. They were designed keeping in mind their aesthetic purpose rather than their sporty use. But as days passed by and swimming gained more and more importance in the world, and finally started to gain importance as a professional indoor sports activity, people started to treat swimwear as one of the most important parts of the game. Swimming costumes are in fact the most crucial external factor that one has to consider very keenly while swimming and also while participating in any competition under water.

Back in the 1910s, women faced problems regarding nudity and skin show. They used to wear long silk suits for the purpose. But with the advent of newer materials in the market such as nylon and spandex, etc. making swimsuits became easier. Racer backs were designed which fitted the body shape more perfectly.


The women swimsuits are so designed that they would offer the least resistance to the body by making it sleek and would assist in gliding through the water with ease. The fabric that is ideally used to manufacture women’scompetition swimwear should be highly stretchable so that it can snug closely to the body. By doing so, the fabric compresses the body and makes it sleek. A sleek body encounters much lesser resistance under the water. The waterproof nature also ensures that the water is repelled efficiently and thus gives the swimmer a lot of speed advantage with much less skin drag. The racer back design only exposes the shoulder blade of the participant. The swimsuit can be up to any length. When it was realized that full length swimsuits give much more swimming advantages, the kind immediately came to prominence. But it was soon banned by FINA in 2010, and swimwear covering up to the knees or bikini line gained popularity in the competition zone once again.

Yingfa manufactures different kinds of women competition swimwear. The shark skin material used in the fabric improves the glide through the water due to its Teflon coat. It compresses the body so that skin vibration and muscle oscillation can be stopped, and hence saves the energy and reduces the drag. The solid looking rear mesh aids in the improvement of water flow and chlorine resistance make it long lasting. We offer you a wide range of colours and styles of swimming costumes so that you can choose the best that will fit you in accordance with all your needs. Thus, if you want a satisfactory outfit to enhance your performance- shop with us at Yingfa.



                                                   2) Jammers: A Perfect Competitive Swimsuit for Men

Introduction

Earlier when swimming did not gain so much fame as a sport, swimwear for men was a thing of mere modesty. But as time passed and swimming began to be counted as an integral sport, swimsuits became a crucial factor for both the sexes. They should be so designed as to reduce skin drag, provide protection to the skin against stings and abrasions, and assist the swimmers in gaining speed advantage by helping their body glide smoothly against water without causing any frictional harm to the skin.

 

Types of materials used in the manufacture of swimsuits

For professional swimmers it is very important to choose the fabric of the swimsuit they will put on because the very type of the fabric and its features decide the extent to which the swimmer will be able to meet his expectations.

  • Lycra fabric, commonly known as spandex, is highly stretchable fabrics with soft and comfortable features. They do not have the longest life span but possess a decent one.
  • Polyester swimsuit material on the other hand proves to be a good alternative for Lycra. They have a very long lifespan with high durability. But they are less stretchable and less soft than spandex fibres.
  • Nylon swimwear has lightweight material with one of the strongest fibres manufactured till date. They absorb very little water, offer smooth fit, but lose colour and elasticity very fast.
  • Recently some new blended fabrics are available in the market such as poly PBT and XLA. These materials have the combined benefits of all the previous fabrics. They amplify both durability and comfort.

Thus, while choosing a fabric for a competitive swimsuit, all the necessary factors have to be taken under consideration.

Types of swimwear for males

There are different types of men competition swimwear. Some of them are enlisted below.

  • Bodyskin
  • Kneeskin
  • Legskin
  • Briefs
  • Jammer
  • Square cut style

Out of these, the most commonly used ones are briefs and jammers.

In thisarticle, we shall discuss more in details about the jammers.

What are jammers?

They are a type of men competition swimwear. Swim jammers resemble men bicycle shorts but they are worn in water to make the swimmer sleek and fast while swimming. They are worn only by males, and start just from the waist and end to cover up to the knees.

How do jammers work?

It is important to have a smooth and sleek body shape to reduce the frictional force faced by a swimmer when moving through water. Jammers render a snug fit by compressing the body. The fabric used for making a jammer is often highly stretchable thereby making it tightly hugged to the body. The smooth surface helps in gliding easily through the water.

Speed advantages provided to an individual by a jammer

It is said that the smoother and sleeker the body of a swimmer, the less is the friction of water encountered by him during his movement. The materials such as Lycra, spandex, polyester, etc. assist in the reduction of the profile of a swimmer. When blended with other synthetic fibres, these outfits acquire a strong water repellent property that renders the swimmer an extra speed advantage to forge forward.

 

Popularity amongst young swimmers and elite male swimmers

Young swimmers who are beginners might hesitate to wear briefs as they provide a very little coverage. On the other hand, jammers are modest according to the swimming world.

During the 1950s, with the advent of Lycra and other materials that clung close to the body, swimsuits got shorter and briefs came into the market. But when the competitors and manufacturers realised that longer suits provided them more advantages in gaining speed, the full body suits came to light and were worn in Beijing 2008 Olympics. But soon FINA, or the International Federation of Swimming, banned their use. Therefore, the elite male swimmers now wear jammers to gain a fraction of advantage.

What do you get at Yingfa and why us?

At www.yingfa.us, we provide you with sharkskin jammers. These are FINA approved. The material used for making the jammers is “E’Tanche” which is waterproof. It has pores which are approximately 20,000 times smaller than the drop of water but are nearly 700 times larger than a droplet of vapour. It is therefore a breathable fabric, which lets the perspiration of skin pass out, but does not let in water thereby keeping the swimmer dry inside and rendering him with an excellent water repellent property. There are various shapes, sizes, colours and patterns of jammers available with us. Our jammers are designed keeping in mind complete professionalism of the sport, thereby helping the competitors to maintain a good position when inside the water.

We also deal at various other men competition swimwear such as briefs, goggles, snugly fitted swim caps, etc.
