Arena racing swimsuit for women - Carbon Air 3 - Black/turquoise

The updated Arena Carbon Air 3 is the most comfortable racing swimsuit available, combining exceptional comfort with carbon-fibre panels. It’s worn by swimmers at the Olympic Games and World Championships, and is FINA-approved. Recommended for women looking for their first proper racing swimsuit, it’s suitable for every stroke.

Why choose the Arena Carbon Air 3?

Seamless design: Seams have no place in a racing swimsuit—it’s as simple as that. They create unnecessary drag and can feel irritating against your skin. That’s why it’s such a great feature that the Carbon Air 3 is completely seamless, giving you a smooth, streamlined fit with no extra resistance.

3-piece lining: The special 3-piece lining offers excellent flexibility, giving you more freedom to move and stretch in different ways. This makes the swimsuit ideal for racing in every stroke, so whatever your specialty, this Arena swimsuit is ready to perform.

Horizontal carbon-fibre bands: The fabric features integrated horizontal carbon-fibre bands that lock over your muscles, creating a compact fit and providing greater support and control. This helps you take full control of your body so you can perform at your very best.

Quick and easy to get on and off: It’s important that your swimsuit is easy to put on and take off. Sometimes there isn’t much time between races, or your first race may start shortly after your warm-up. You don’t want to spend ages wrestling with your swimsuit—and thankfully, you won’t have to with the Arena Carbon Air 3 2026.

Made from 65% polyamide, 34% elastane and 1% carbon fibre: These materials combine to give you a fantastic swimming experience. They make the swimsuit lightweight and smooth, so it feels almost as if you’re wearing nothing at all. At the same time, the suit helps keep your muscles properly supported, which is likely why it’s so popular with top swimmers and worn at both the World Championships and the Olympic Games.

If you’re looking for a professional, highly reliable racing swimsuit, the Arena Carbon Air 3 Open Back 2026 in a stylish black and turquoise colourway is an excellent choice. It won’t let you down, and you’ll definitely notice the difference whether this is your first proper racing swimsuit or you’re already a seasoned competitor.

How to care for your racing swimwear

Racing swimsuits and swim trunks are technical garments with bonded seams and applied logos. They’ll last longer and retain their fit and compression when handled with care:

• Rinse immediately in cold, clean water after each use—even after swimming in chlorinated or salt water. Don’t wait until you get home.
• Hand-wash only. Never use a washing machine or tumble dryer. Heat, spinning and rubbing break down the fibres and can loosen seams and applied logos.
• Use mild soap or detergent designed for swimwear. Avoid bleach and fabric softener.
• Never wring out the garment. Gently press out the water.
• Lay flat to dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight, radiators and other heat sources.
• Don’t leave the garment wet in a bag or rolled up in a towel—it traps heat and chemicals that wear down the material.
• Avoid rough surfaces such as pool edges and tiles, which can catch on seams and logos.

Arena racing swimsuits can also fit differently depending on how much compression you want, so bear this in mind if you’re between sizes.
