Arena Racing Swimwear

Arena have been creating racing swimwear since 1973 after company founder Horst Dassler was inspired by swimming Olympians at the 1972 Olympics Games in Munich. Arena have developed over the last 40 years into a dominant global swim brand, emphasised by their exceptional ‘Powerskin’ series of performance race suits.

Arena PowerSkin ST Next is Arena entry level race suit that offers Enhanced core support, body lift, and core stability help swimmers maintain optimum form and position in the water, what ever level of swimmer you are from Beginner to Masters competitive swimmers.

COMPRESSION AND SUPPORT
The ST range is technically improved by additional lining. The new lining, which extends down the rear of the leg and is integrated into the upper front of the open back kneesuit and the jammer, increases muscle compression in correct locations.

SIMPLE ON AND OFF While still offering good, tailored compression, the ST NEXT’s updated fabric has increased elasticity, making it quicker and easier to put on and take off than comparable racing suits.

Arena PowerSkin Veloce

Pure speed with POWERSKIN VELOCE. Maximum comfort. There are no distractions.
100% PERFORMANCE, 50% LIGHTER.

For swimsuits seeking the ideal ratio of compression, lightness, and flexibility, the new Powerskin Veloce was created.
Veloce is 50% lighter than Primo and is constructed from the same next-generation HyperforceTM fabric that drives Arena premium suits, giving it unparalleled freedom in every stroke.

HYPERFORCETM INSIDE.
Our HyperforceTM, the first tensoelastic fabric, reaches maximum compression at about 50% fabric stretch, preserving elasticity for dynamic movement, in contrast to conventional textiles that need extreme stretch to trigger compression. Strong, unrestricted muscle support, increased range of motion, and less fatigue during lengthy races are the outcomes.

SPEED’S ESSENCE Powerskin Veloce is a lighter, more flexible vehicle that offers top-notch performance. It blends hydrodynamics, comfort, and control and is designed for all distances, giving you the confidence to win and the ability to move quickly.

EASIER TO PERFORM AND FASTER TO PUT ON Compared to conventional high-compression suits, Veloce is quicker and simpler to put on because to its enhanced elasticity and lighter construction. Most swimsuits can gear up in less than ten minutes when properly fitted, saving energy for critical situations.

FLEXMAX STRAPS: REDEFINED COMFORT Veloce presents FlexMax shoulder straps, which are around 20% wider than previous models and include a dual-elastic structure that uniformly distributes pressure across the shoulders. Better mobility, less pressure on the muscles, and increased comfort during each race—no folding, no digging in.

LONG-LASTING HYDROPHOBIC POWER
HyperforceTM’s sophisticated fiber structure reduces drag and water absorption. Even after frequent use, the suit is inherent hydrophobic quality ensures that it stays lightweight and race-ready.

TRUSTABLE DURABILITY

Arena Primo, took more than 4 years in development, it was created from the ground up using the most recent advances in physics and the textile industry to ensure unwavering durability and performance.

DURABILITY UNBEATABLE
While Hyperforce fabric guards against overstretching and fabric breakdown for reliable, repeated use, permanently hydrophobic TPU fiber composition guards against chlorine damage.

SELECTION OF CHAMPIONS
After trying Primo, eight out of ten swimsuits decided to use it as their main racing suit. In 2023, 287 college swimsuits in the United States took the test.

THE APPROPRIATE SUIT
Every distance. Every occasion. For ALL swimsuits, Primo provides the most cutting-edge compression, range of motion, and technology.
