Arena swimsuits for girls: which back style?

Most Arena girls' swimsuits here use MaxLife Eco fabric, which Arena makes for strong chlorine resistance in frequent pool use. The back is the main choice.

• Swim Pro Back: a comfortable cutout with wide, supportive straps. You will find it on the Dots Print, Graphic Print and Performance Solid Team swimsuits.
• Light Drop Back: the Spring Light Drop Back Swimsuit is easy to put on and take off.
• V-back: the Multi Colours Swimsuit has thin straps for shoulder movement.
• Combi-short: the Performance Finding R swimsuit adds short legs and a closed back.

Most girls' suits come in 6-7 to 14-15 years. The Solid Team Swim Pro starts at 1-2 years.

Arena for boys: briefs, jammers or swim shorts

Boys choose by length. Swim briefs are the shortest; the Performance Solid Team Swim Briefs have a front lining and an inner drawstring. Swim shorts such as the Kikko Pro and Carnival Swim Shorts have a 22 cm side seam. Jammers such as the Carnival, Palette and Racing Stripe have a 36 cm side seam and reach the knee.

Caps, goggles and pool extras

Arena kids' caps are silicone. The Poolish cap is 3D moulded for a smooth surface, and the printed Swim Caps are sized for 6 to 12 years. For goggles, the Bubble 3 Jr suits children starting out in the pool. The Spider Jr has a single strap with a back clip, and the Tracks Mirror Junior is a racing goggle for young swimmers aged 6 to 12. After the pool, the Microfiber Zeal Bathrobe has a large hood, and the Urban Junior Slides grip wet floors.

For a girl starting swim lessons, a Swim Pro Back swimsuit, Bubble 3 Jr goggles and a silicone cap make a good first kit. Boys who train often do well in a jammer. See all kids' swimwear, Arena goggles and swimming for kids.
