Arena racing swimsuit for women - Carbon Air 3 - Dark red/Dark blue (Limited 2026)

The updated Arena Carbon Air 3 is the most comfortable racing swimsuit available, with carbon panels built in. It’s worn 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 all swimming strokes.

Why choose the Arena Carbon Air 3?

No seams: 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 seam-free, giving you a smooth, drag-free fit in the water.

3-piece lining: The special 3-piece lining offers excellent flexibility, giving you greater freedom to move and stretch in different ways. This makes the swimsuit ideal for competitions 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 compress your muscles for a more compact fit, while providing extra support and control. In other words, the swimsuit helps you take full control of your body in the water so you can perform to the best of your ability.

Quick and easy to get on and off: It’s important that your swimsuit is easy to put on and take off. Sometimes there’s very little time between races, or your first race may start shortly after warm-up. You don’t want to waste time struggling with your swimsuit—and thankfully, you won’t 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, with an almost weightless feel against your body. At the same time, it supports your muscles in just the right way. That’s likely why this swimsuit is so popular with top swimmers and is worn at both the World Championships and the Olympics.

If you’re looking for a top-quality, highly reliable racing swimsuit, the Arena Carbon Air 3 Open Back 2026 in striking dark red and dark blue is an excellent choice. It won’t let you down, and you’ll definitely feel the difference whether you’re new to racing swimsuits or already an experienced competitor.

How to care for your competition swimwear

Competition swimsuits and swim trunks are technical garments with welded seams and applied logos. They last longer and retain their fit and compression when cared for gently:

• 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 can damage the fibres and loosen the seams and applied logos.
• Use mild soap or detergent designed for swimwear. Avoid bleach and fabric softener.
• Never wring out your swimwear. Gently press out the water.
• Dry flat in the shade, away from direct sunlight, radiators and other heat sources.
• Don’t leave your swimwear wet in a bag or rolled up in a towel—this 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 also vary in size depending on how much compression you want. Keep this in mind if you’re between sizes.
