Football clothes (aka Soccer Kit) are great for easy warm-up exercises, both on land and in the water.

Football clothing is made from functional lightweight but robust fabric. In warm weather you can keep it on after a swim and it dries quickly, ideal for water games and other wet activities.

Some cheap football shirts can be a bit itchy, so wear a T-shirt underneath. A poorly made replica strip can have seams that rub and chafe, or it could be made from a material that is too abrasive to your skin.

Comfort

Comfort is an extremely important factor in the choice of kit. There are many factors that make a good soccer kit. The main areas to bear in mind for soccer teamwear are looks, performance and durability.

The top brands in football such as Adidas, Nike, Puma and Umbro, have developed fabrics that can react differently under different climatic and performance conditions. Manufacturer technology has advanced in all areas including the development of fabrics that can stretch to many times their own size and then return to normal.

Teamwear for Swimming Classes

Psychological studies have proven that players or swimmers who feel that they "look the part" are much more likely to perform at the top end of their mental and physical capabilities. You can use that for your swimming or lifesaving class.

Through the summer months your team's football kit will get wet and muddy almost every week. It is really a sound investment to purchase teamwear that will stand up to the rigours of weekly soakings.

For endurance training, split your swimming class in two, each wearing a different colour kit. Get them to swim a good distance dressed in their footie kit and they get a decent work-out without overexerting themselves. Fastest team is the winner.

In a kit race they swim in football kit from one pool side to the other, then get out and trade kit with someone else on their team. It's nice fast paced fun.
