Longevity drives the pro and fitness swimwear market, where creora highclo is the essential super chlorine resistant spandex/elastane. Lightweight circular and warp knits feature, with perfect compact surfaces reducing drag in the water and enhancing the swimmer’s performance. A high level of technicity features, as the fabrics proposed withstand the rigor of pushing through, instead effortlessly glide during swimming. Fabric weights are light, literally second skin in application for an unlimited experience.

Clean cut and bonded seams reduce any slowing down, delivering a smoother seamless style and finish. Surfaces range from matte to brilliance, with color playing a pivotal role, injecting a new sense of style, vibrant in appearance with creora® Color+ dyeable spandex/elastane for intense tones. Consider hydrophobic finishes for a water repellant experience, further enhancing the speed through the water, in drag resistant qualities.

While competitive and lane swimming continues to pursue black and dark tones, make way for a new approach through color and contrasts. This about excelling, beating personal records with fabrics that morph and protect the body. Fitness swimwear demands creora® highclo for longevity and takes on a livelier inspiration as reversible pieces and prints come through. The demand for body sculpting power is required as is the versatility of gym to swim pieces.
