Choosing the right swimsuit!

Wolffwear offers hundreds of different swimsuits and we know it's hard to find the right one!
Here are some tips.

• Choose a real swimsuit (such as the one you find with us), not a suit for water sports, diving or snorkeling. The right suit will give you a great swimming experience and a lot of help, the wrong suit can give you chafing and a bad swimming experience.
• Keep in mind that the suit should fit like a second skin, follow the size charts, if you are an exerciser and are in between the strokes, you can choose the larger one. In some cases, girls can fit well in a men's model.
• Do you swim breaststroke or crawl or a bit of both? That determines which suit you should choose.
