Low water temperature: balance between heat preservation and discomfort
In lower water temperatures, polyester swimwear fabric has become the first choice for many swimming enthusiasts due to its good heat preservation performance. The structure of polyester fiber enables it to effectively lock in body temperature, reduce heat loss, and provide a certain warmth for the wearer. This feature is particularly important when swimming in winter or participating in cold water activities, which can effectively extend the swimming time and avoid physical discomfort caused by hypothermia.
However, the low hygroscopicity of polyester may also cause inconvenience in this environment. When the water temperature is too low, the human body will produce more sweat in order to maintain body temperature, and the sweat of polyester fabric cannot be quickly absorbed and evaporated by the fabric due to its non-absorbent properties, which may cause the wearer to feel sticky or uncomfortable. Being in this state for a long time will not only affect the pleasure of swimming, but may also cause certain irritation to the skin. Therefore, when wearing a polyester swimwear in a low water temperature environment, it is key to improve the swimming experience to go ashore and rest in time to let the body dry naturally, or choose a mixed fabric swimwear with higher moisture absorption and perspiration function.
Suitable water temperature: the perfect combination of comfort and performance
When the water temperature is moderate, the advantages of polyester swimwear fabrics are fully demonstrated. Its strength and elasticity ensure the fit and shape stability of the swimwear, providing the wearer with space to move freely, reducing resistance in the water and improving swimming efficiency, whether for high-intensity training or leisure swimming. In addition, polyester fabrics are easy to care for and not easy to deform. Even after multiple washings and long-term use, they can still maintain a good appearance and performance, extending the service life of the swimwear.
In this temperature range, the low moisture absorption of polyester is no longer an obvious disadvantage, because moderate sweat production can be naturally regulated by the human body and will not significantly affect comfort. Therefore, for most swimmers, wearing polyester swimwears in suitable water temperatures will be an economical and practical choice.
High water temperature: the challenge of stuffiness and static electricity
When the water temperature is too high, the low moisture absorption of polyester swimwear fabrics becomes an issue that cannot be ignored. In hot water, the amount of sweat produced by the human body increases significantly, and polyester fabrics cannot effectively absorb and evaporate this sweat, causing the wearer to feel stuffy and uncomfortable. This discomfort not only limits the duration of swimming, but may also affect overall athletic performance.
Worse still, polyester fabrics are more likely to generate static electricity at high temperatures. The generation of static electricity not only makes the swimwear stick to the skin, exacerbating the feeling of stuffiness, but may also cause a slight electric shock, further reducing the comfort of wearing. Therefore, when swimming in hot water, choosing fabrics with better breathability and stronger moisture absorption, such as a mixture of nylon and spandex, or polyester fabrics treated with special processes, will be able to more effectively cope with the challenges brought by high temperatures.
