What is a Drag Suit?

A drag suit is a bathing suit that provides an increased amount of water resistance. The increased amount of water resistance makes it more difficult to swim fast.  Drag suits can be worn over normal swimsuits or by themselves.  A drag suit should not be worn every time the person swims.

Why use a Drag Suit?

A drag suit will help increase your swimming speed and endurance. Drag suits are usually used only for training purposes.

Types of Drag Suits?

Drag suits may be like swim trunks with no pockets, they can contain pockets, or may be like one piece bathing suits. The pockets in the drag suit act like a parachute in the water.  The pocket drag suits are highly specific and are to be used only when looking for precise drag.
