Nike was the goddess of victory in Greek mythology. The famous Swoosh logo, designed in 1971, represents the wing of the goddess Nike and features prominently on all swimwear in the Nike range.
Function is the name of the game when it comes to the range of Nike swimsuits. Most of the swimwear is made from a chlorine resistant nylon lycra mix, meaning it’s durable and able to withstand the rigours of life in the pool. Suits are also made from a nylon/spandex mix and polyester.
The range of Nike swimsuits is simple, yet effective. The suits are built around basic colors (black, navy, and red) and practicality is foremost in their design. Most of the women’s suits are racing one pieces – the odd two-piece suit looks like it’s made for pool wear rather than basking at the beach. Zippers and mesh inserts give the suits a bit of detail.
Men have a choice of the classic brief, trunks, or the ‘jammer,’ tight shorts which finish above the knee. Guys serious about their swimming can also select the neck to knee or full length Nike racing suits.
A separate range for women gives them the choice of buying their swimwear piece by piece, mixing and matching crop tops, singlets, hot pants and string pants for the ideal suit.
Like Speedo and TYR, Nike has established a range of full body racing suits for men and women. Designed for more speed and less drag through the water, these suits mean business and seem to produce results – they’re worn by Olympic gold medallist Pieter van den Hoogenband.
Nike produces a range of swimming accessories to help you go just that little bit faster, something that should be no problem with the goddess of victory on your side.
