Arena Swimming Training -Square Cut Drag Suit - Drag Shorts - Pink
3 Key Features
Targeted Water Resistance
The square cut design traps water as you push through each length, creating meaningful drag that forces your muscles to work harder than they would in a standard training suit. This makes it an effective tool for building upper body and core strength during regular pool sessions. Over time, removing the drag suit translates directly into faster, more powerful swimming.
Durable Polyester Build
Constructed from 100% polyester, this drag suit is designed to withstand the rigours of frequent pool training without deteriorating quickly. Polyester is inherently resistant to chlorine, meaning the fabric holds its shape and colour across hundreds of sessions. You can rely on it to perform consistently throughout a full training season.
Low-Waist Fit for Pool Comfort
Arena has cut this suit to sit low on the waist, giving swimmers a comfortable, secure fit that stays in place during intense effort. The silhouette moves naturally with the body, so the suit never distracts from your stroke. Whether you are working sets in a squad session or completing long-distance laps, the fit remains dependable throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a drag suit improve my swimming performance?
A drag suit creates additional water resistance as you swim, making your muscles work harder during every length. By training consistently with the suit on, you build strength and power in the water. When you remove it for competition or a test set, your body is conditioned to move faster and more efficiently.
Do I wear the drag suit over my regular training suit?
Yes. The Arena Square Cut Drag Suit is designed to be worn over your standard training suit. This setup creates the water-trapping effect that generates drag, and it also means you can remove the drag suit mid-session to assess how your times and stroke feel without the added resistance.
Is this suit suitable for regular squad session use?
Absolutely. The 100% polyester construction and chlorine-resistant fabric make this suit well suited to frequent pool training. It is built to hold its shape and performance across a full training season without significant deterioration.
How should I care for the drag suit after pool sessions?
Rinse the suit thoroughly in cold, clean water immediately after each session to remove chlorine and other pool chemicals. Avoid wringing the fabric and allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. For full care guidance, see our full product aftercare guide.

Why Buy from Allens Swimwear?
A Family Business Built on Swimming Since 1976
Allens Swimwear is a family-run business founded in 1976 by Dennis Allen and his daughter Linda Beal. It started from a genuine need. βWith 2 swimmers in the family it was often difficult to find the right kit, so dad and I took the plunge and started selling to local swimmers at our local pool in Kingsbury out of a suitcase and weβve never looked back.β Today, Linda, her husband Richard, and three of their children Danny, Will and Jenna still run the business together. The suitcase may be long gone, but the founding principle of helping swimmers get the right kit remains exactly the same.
