In case you didn’t know, swimming can make you a faster runner, and is also an awesome full-body workout. Now that our pools are open and swimming during Covid period is generally considered safe, don’t let the lack of gear stop you from plunging into the water.

For a serious, non-distracting swim sesh, you will need supportive swimwear that holds you up in the right places. That means none of those flimsy straps that keep falling off your shoulders, barely-there tops that threaten nip slips, or finicky bottoms that struggle to cover your butt.

We’ve found some great swimwear options for different needs and body types. Even better: Some come with compression around the waistline, so you’ll feel more cinched and sport a flattering figure. Now, all you’re left to worry about is your strokes and speed.

The Signature Bikini tops have shoulder straps that are connected to the criss-cross back design so you can seamlessly adjust the underbust band and shoulder straps without the fabric cutting into your skin. Many of the signature Haikini bikini sets (S$72) are reversible, so you can choose between a solid colour and a print. If you’re more into solids, they have non-reversible options going for S$68.
