Water Polo Swimwear

Yes, on decathlon.com.gr you will find specialized water polo swimsuits, specifically designed to withstand the very high demands of the sport. Discover men's briefs with double lining and reinforced seams, as well as women's one-piece swimsuits with a high-neck design and a back zipper, ensuring maximum stability and durability during the game.

The ultimate material for manufacturing a water polo swimsuit is 100% polyester (PBT). Unlike regular swimsuits that contain elastane (Lycra) which is degraded by chlorine and stretches out more easily, PBT fabric provides excellent mechanical elasticity without the use of elastic fibers. This makes it incredibly tough, resistant to tears and constant pulling, while maintaining its shape and tight fit even after countless hours of hard use.

In water polo, the swimsuit must fit the body perfectly, almost like a second skin, fitting tighter than a regular lap swimming swimsuit. This is essential to prevent opposing players from grabbing or pulling it during duels in the water. If you find yourself between two sizes, choose the smaller one; to find the ideal fit that offers proper compression without restricting your breathing, you can consult the detailed size guide on each product page.

Decathlon's water polo swimsuits are incredibly durable, featuring Aquaresist technology. Because they are manufactured from 100% PBT fibers, they offer total resistance to chemical attacks from chlorine and do not lose their structure. They do not sag, thin out, or become transparent over time, providing a long-lasting solution for daily, multi-hour training sessions in chlorinated water.

Yes, an authentic water polo swimsuit features very specific technical characteristics:
Double or Triple lining: Men's briefs feature a full internal double fabric to prevent tearing and offer extra coverage.
High Neck and Back Zipper: Women's models have a very closed cut in the front (high-neck) and close securely at the back, preventing opponents from grabbing the swimsuit by the straps.
Wide side panels and Flat seams: Men's briefs have wider side panels for a better hold, while reinforced, flatlock seams prevent the swimsuit from ripping open under violent pulls.

Although PBT material is exceptionally durable, proper care will extend the life of your swimsuit even further. Rinse it thoroughly with clean, cold water immediately after training or a match to remove chlorine residue. Do not wring it out with excessive force, and never put it in the dryer or in the washing machine with fabric softener. Let it dry naturally in a shaded and well-ventilated spot, away from direct exposure to hot sunlight, to maintain the seams and the fabric's elasticity in excellent condition.
