If you’re an active beachgoer who loves engaging in water sports like surfing, paddleboarding, or beach volleyball, having the right swimwear is essential. Regular swimwear may not provide the necessary support, durability, and flexibility needed for these activities. In this blog, we’ll highlight the best swimwear options specifically designed for water sports and activities. We’ll discuss the features that active beachgoers should look for, including durability, support, and flexibility. Get ready to hit the waves with confidence and comfort!
Durability
 |  |
When it comes to water sports, durability is paramount. Look for swimwear made from high-quality materials that can withstand the rigours of active beach activities. Fabrics like nylon, polyester, or blends with spandex are excellent choices as they are known for their durability and resistance to wear and tear. Reinforced stitching and double-layered fabric in areas prone to friction, such as the bust or hips, can further enhance durability.
Support
 |  |
Active beachgoers require swimwear that provides ample support to keep everything in place during vigorous movements. For women with larger busts, opt for bikini tops with underwire, thick straps, or adjustable closures to ensure proper support and prevent discomfort. Look for bikini bottoms or one-piece swimsuits with a secure, elasticated waistband that stays in place even during high-energy activities.
Flexibility
 |  |
Flexibility is crucial for unrestricted movement during water sports. Seek swimwear that offers a good range of motion without feeling constricting. Look for designs with stretchy fabrics that allow you to move freely. Consider options with four-way stretch or those made with spandex blends that offer excellent flexibility. Avoid swimwear with excessive embellishments, as they can restrict movement and may not hold up well in water.
Rash Vests and Swim Leggings

For water sports that involve prolonged sun exposure or board activities, consider adding rash guards and swim leggings to your swimwear collection. Rash guards offer additional protection against the sun’s harmful UV rays and help prevent irritation from waxed boards or sand. Opt for rash guards with UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) ratings for maximum sun protection. Swim leggings, made from quick-drying materials, offer coverage and protection for your legs during activities like paddle boarding or surfing. CAHA CAPO offers swim leggings as part of their burkini collection. The Farah by CAHA CAPO are a pair of swim leggings made with UPF50+ fabric, and can be worn as part of a burkini set, or paired with other CAHA CAPO swimwear.
Adjustable Features

Having swimwear with adjustable features allows you to customise the fit according to your body shape and comfort level. Look for swim tops with adjustable straps or closures, allowing you to achieve a secure fit. Adjustable tie-side bikini bottoms or drawstring waistbands in board shorts offer flexibility in adjusting the tightness according to your preference.
