Arena racing swimsuit for women - Carbon Air 3 - Light blue/dark blue

The updated Arena Carbon Air 3 is the most comfortable racing swimsuit available, while still featuring carbon panels. 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 can be worn for all strokes.

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 the completely seamless Carbon Air 3 is such a great choice, giving you a smooth, streamlined fit with no added resistance.

Three-piece lining: The unique three-piece lining offers excellent flexibility, allowing you to move and stretch your body in different ways. This makes the swimsuit ideal for competitions in all strokes, 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 to create a compact fit, with increased support and control. This helps you take full control of your body 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 isn’t much time between races, or your first event may start shortly after warm-up. That’s why you don’t want to spend ages struggling 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 work together 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. It also helps keep your muscles in place, which is likely why this swimsuit is so popular with top swimmers and is 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 beautiful light blue and dark blue colourway is a great choice. It won’t let you down, and you’ll definitely notice the difference if you haven’t worn a proper racing swimsuit before—or even if you’re already an experienced competitor.

How to care for your racing swimwear

Racing swimsuits and swim trunks are technical garments with welded seams and applied logos. To help them last longer and retain their fit and compression, handle them with care:

• Rinse immediately in cold, clean water after every 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 friction break down the fibres and can loosen seams and applied logos.
• Use mild soap or detergent made for swimwear. Avoid bleach and fabric softener.
• Never wring out your swimwear. Gently press out the water.
• Lay flat to dry 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—it traps heat and chemicals that wear down the material.
• Avoid rough surfaces such as pool edges and tiles, which can snag seams and logos.

Arena racing swimsuits also vary in fit depending on how much compression you prefer. Keep this in mind if you’re between sizes.
