Swimsuits

A swim suit for competition swimming, comprising:

• an outer shell suitable to cover at least part of the body trunk and of the thighs of a swimmer, wherein the outer shell is made of a flexible stretchable fabric adapted to apply a hoop compression to the thighs and to the body trunk, wherein the outer shell forms a tubular trunk portion intended to cover a lower region of the torso of the swimmer and two tubular thigh portions connected with the trunk portion and intended to cover each an upper region of a respective thigh of the swimmer,
• wherein the swimsuit forms locally reinforced regions in which the outer shell is provided with an additional reinforcement so that the locally reinforced regions have a greater tensile stiffness than a tensile stiffness of said outer shell alone, and non-reinforced regions formed by the outer shell alone and having only the tensile stiffness of said outer shell alone, wherein, in the locally reinforced regions, an additional inner layer of a flexible stretchable fabric is attached from inside to the outer shell, and
• wherein the locally arranged inner layer comprises one or more individual inner layer pieces that are connected to the outer shell not over the entire surface of the inner layer pieces, but along connection lines extending along peripheral edges of the inner layer piece.
