Information About Lifeguard Swimsuits For Women

By Lila Bryant


Swimsuits are items of clothing meant for wearing by people taking part in wate-based activities like water polo, surfing, diving, skiing, and swimming. They may also be used when sun bathing or in showcasing exercises such as bodybuilding and beauty contests. Lifeguard swimsuits for women are very different in design from those of men and children. This makes it easy to identify a person as male or female from a distance.

Current swimsuits vary in many aspects ranging from material, body coverage, cost, size, and design. One can choose a style according to their own personal preferences and community modesty standards. These garments are generally described in three ways, that is, thongs, bikinis, and one-piece. There are different changes in the trends, length and cut, but the modifications do not change the appearance of original products.

Many lifeguard swimsuits cover genitals, pubic hair, and buttocks with the exception of thongs, which leave buttocks exposed. In most Western designs, arms, head, shoulders, and thighs downwards are left uncovered. Nipples and most parts of the breasts are also covered in several designs, although more body may be exposed by uninstalling the upper section of the garment. In some cases the top may not be worn.

Designs that cover the whole body exist too. Such designs are worn when swimming in water that is too cold. A full-body swimsuit functions as protection for the body against hypothermia by preserving body warmth. Lifeguards normally have additional gear for body heat conservation when working in very cold water bodies. Sun glasses for protection against direct sunlight may come together with the suits.

Most of the suits are colored brightly to make it easy for swimmers to see them. The traditional colors are red and white even though other colors are currently in use. The red and white colors form alternating strips that are bright and distinguishable. For the case of two separate pieces, the color on the two pieces is normally same. This makes them even more distinguishable from ordinary swimmers on a beach.

These commodities can be found in a wide range of sizes to suit individuals with varying body sizes. Producers also allow customers to place orders for personalized commodities. To make swimming simple during rescue, some commodities incorporate pads. Pads are extremely slim and extend throughout swimsuit. When the suit is worn correctly, one cannot sink in water. Pads are sewn between two layers of fabrics making them partially water-proof.

The fabric that is used to make the product is of high quality so that it cannot tear up when one is involved in a lot of activity. They are very tight while maintaining a high level of flexibility. No matter how long one wears them, they do not cause fatigue. The light nature of fabric makes them light and easy to move with. The material of the suit does not soak water.

The cost of a suit varies depending on fashion, size, quality, presence of pads, design, and the manufacturer among other factors. Some are very cheap and easily available while others are very expensive. One should choose a product with desired features.
