Black Month & Black Friday - Racing swimsuits

You’re on the starting blocks for the season’s first meet and can feel your old suit hanging loose around your thighs and hips. It’s a familiar problem—and one that can cost you those last few tenths of a second. Over the years, we’ve helped thousands of swimmers find a racing swimsuit that fits, and we know firsthand how much the right fit matters. Right now, we’re celebrating Black Month with up to 75% off selected items, making it a great time to replace your suit. Explore our range of racing swimsuits and discover styles from Arena, Speedo, TYR and Watery.

What’s the difference between a racing swimsuit and a regular swimsuit?

It’s a question we often hear from swimmers getting ready for their first meet. The difference comes down to fit, fabric and how long the suit lasts. During Black Month, you’ll find racing swimsuits at great prices. Here are the key differences:

• Fit: A racing swimsuit fits much more snugly than a regular swimsuit and should sit close to your body without any wrinkles. Sizes often run small, so be sure to check the manufacturer’s size guide.
• Fabric: The material is designed to hold its shape through many hours in chlorinated water while providing firm, even compression.
• Use: The suit is made for meets and serious training. For relaxing by the pool, a regular swimsuit is more comfortable.
• Durability: A tight-fitting suit wears out faster than an everyday swimsuit. Rinse it in clean water after use and avoid wringing it out to help it last longer.

Replace your racing swimsuit during Black Week

During the week leading up to Black Friday, we run Black Week—a great time to check whether your racing swimsuit is still in good shape. If it has lost its compression or feels loose, you can replace it at the lowest prices of the year. If you have a young swimmer at home, head straight to our range of racing swimsuits for girls. Remember, a racing swimsuit should fit snugly, so there’s no room to grow into it. Choose the size that fits now.

Racing swimsuits for women and girls on Black Friday

Black Friday falls on a Friday toward the end of November and is the highlight of our sale period. You’ll find racing swimsuits for women and girls, including the Arena Carbon Air 2 and ST NEXT, Speedo LZR Pure Intent 2.0 and LZR Pure Valor 2.0, TYR Venzo and Invictus, as well as the Watery Rapidskin 2.0 in several colours. With up to 75% off selected items, it’s the perfect time to buy the suit you’ve had your eye on all season. If your son or training partner needs a new suit too, you’ll find racing swim trunks from the same series.

Buy your next racing swimsuit with our Black Month Guarantee

Worried the price might drop just after you buy? There’s no need to be. With our Black Month Guarantee, we’ll refund the difference as a Watery gift card if we lower the price of your suit before Black Month ends. So you can order now and try on your suit well ahead of the meet. And if you find the same suit for less at another retailer, we’ll match the price.

Order your racing swimsuit on Cyber Monday

On the Monday after Black Friday, we wrap up our sale period with Cyber Monday. It’s your last chance to buy a racing swimsuit at the year’s lowest prices before they return to normal. If you also need goggles or a swimming cap for the same meet, you can add everything to one order. If you’re unsure about sizing, our customer service team will be happy to help. We’ll make sure your order is delivered quickly so your suit is ready for the next meet.
