Men's Swimwear

Of course! At decathlon.com.gr you will find a complete collection of men's swimsuits in many sizes and for every body type, designed to cover every training level—from the beginner just starting his first lessons to the advanced high-performance athlete. The range includes various types such as briefs, trunks, and jammers, made from highly durable materials that offer excellent freedom of movement, comfort, and a perfect fit on every stroke.

The main difference lies in the fit, hydrodynamics, and manufacturing material. Loose swim shorts (boardshorts) are designed for the beach, retain large amounts of water, inflate, and create huge resistance (drag), making swimming difficult. Conversely, a men's training swimsuit fits tightly on the body like a second skin, minimizing friction with the water, while being made from specialized elastic fabrics that dry quickly and do not weigh you down, allowing the swimmer to move with the maximum possible speed and ease.

Both types offer top hydrodynamics, but in a different way, so the choice depends on the athlete's personal preferences. Briefs (slips) offer the maximum possible freedom of movement in the hip joints and leave the skin free, reducing the weight of the fabric to a minimum. On the other hand, the jammer (which reaches the knee) is considered to "cut" through the water better at a competitive level, as its compressive fabric covers a large muscle group of the legs, smoothes the body surface, reduces muscle vibrations, and improves the flow of water around the thighs. Whichever style you prefer, if your goal is to minimize hydrodynamic resistance, do not forget the right choice for an appropriate swim cap.

For competitive use, specialized racing jammers (racing suits) are suitable, which are approved by the World Swimming Federation (World Aquatics / FINA). These racing swimsuits feature high muscle compression technology that keeps the thigh muscles stable, reducing fatigue, while their seams are heat-bonded so as not to create the slightest resistance in the water. In addition, their fabric has undergone a special hydrophobic treatment so that it does not absorb water at all. To maintain your absolute focus during demanding races or training, combine your competitive swimsuit with highly stable swimming goggles.

To find the appropriate size, the most accurate method is to measure your waist and hip circumference with a tape measure and consult the size guide available on the product page. A training swimsuit should fit very securely and tightly on the body without creating gaps, but also without pressing too hard to the point of restricting your breathing. Keep in mind that training swimsuits tend to loosen slightly after the first few uses, so if you are between two sizes, opt for the smaller one. After choosing the ideal size, do not forget to complete your equipment with a swim bag that will fit all the essentials for your workout.

The swimsuits that show the greatest resistance to chlorine are made from 100% polyester or from PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) blends. Unlike classic elastane, which degrades and loses its elasticity after a few weeks of exposure to pool chemicals, PBT technology offers excellent durability and keeps the shape of the swimsuit unchanged for hundreds of training hours.
