Here’s a breakdown of the features of swimbikers:

• Swim:

  • Made from chlorine-resistant materials that dry quickly and offer UV protection.
  • Similar to swimsuits, they may have a zipper or pull-on closure on the back.

• Bike:

  • Include a built-in cycling pad for comfort on the bike saddle.
  • The legs might be made from a compressive material to improve circulation and reduce muscle fatigue.

• Run:

  • The fabric is breathable and lightweight to allow for freedom of movement during the running leg.

Here are some things to consider when choosing a swimbiker:

• Fit: It should be snug but not restrictive, allowing for a full range of motion in all three sports.
• Material: Look for chlorine-resistant, breathable, and quick-drying fabrics.
• Padding: The cycling pad should be comfortable and supportive without being too bulky.
• Features: Some trisuits have pockets for storing gels, nutrition, or race essentials.

While swimbikers are ideal for triathlon competitions, they are not necessary for casual swimming. Regular swimsuits are more appropriate for recreational swimming or aquatic activities.
