19 Speedo swimsuits that offer support and style

Speedo updated its classic Thinstrap costume so that you can get even more from your go-to. While it still has the gorgeous open back, namesake thin straps and high-cut leg for maximum freedom of movement, it's now made from ECO Endurance+ fabric. In other words? It's 100% chlorine resistant, a speedy drier and just right for swimming pool regulars.

The much-loved Medalist will have you winning in and out of the pool, thanks to the excellent shoulder movement and flexibility, as well as the showstopping red colour (hello poolside Baywatch moment).

Gilly McArthur from the Wonderful Wild Women, a partner of Speedo, opts for the Medalist when braving cold waters. 'My 'go to' costume is the Speedo Endurance Medalist; it’s a brilliant fit for any body shape, feels secure and comes in a range of brilliant colours.'

More of a casual wader than a lap lover? You're in luck because this one-shouldered one-piece is just waiting to be shown off. It doesn't skimp on quality, either. Both the chlorine resistance and CREORA® HighClo™ tech will ensure it looks good and fits well for many a swim to come.

If you've been struggling to find performance-based swimwear that works with your bra size, Speedo's swimsuits made exclusively for Bravissimo are about to change your water-based life. The wired costume fits sizes 30D to 40K so that you're fully supported regardless of whether you're getting serious or taking it easy.

Psst! Here's how to measure your bra size.

Really what's not to love about this bright one-piece? The tie at the back and extra high leg mean maximum flexibility during any stroke (synchronised swimming, anyone?). Then there are the adjustable straps and lined front for added comfort. And let's not forget the striking print. Performance, ease of wear and good looks? Don't mind if we do.

Ready to break some personal records, if not world records? Slip into this black number, and who knows what might happen. Made with your movement in mind (the straps have been placed between your shoulders, and the back is open to ensure freedom and flexibility), one thing's for sure; your suit will be working in your favour.

Summer is calling, and what better way to show up than in this stunning green swimsuit? With three different strap options available, you'll be able to pick their position according to the day's activities and look good throughout.

According to buyers, you're going to want to size up for this blue baby, but once that's sorted, you'll be all set to move freely through the water, thanks to the Muscleback design and medium leg cut. We love how the logo print not only adds a little fun to an otherwise plain black swimsuit but also gives it some extra shape.

On those mornings when you wake up wanting a bit more coverage, a long sleeve one-piece is a great way to get it without hindering your movement. Plus, this colourful cutie will work just as well for the days when you ditch your swimming goggles and opt for a surf or SUP sesh instead.

Technically, this is a legsuit, not a swimsuit, but it's well worth the inclusion. Combining the classic Speedo look and feel with a little extra length in the leg area, it's a good choice for those on the hunt for a slightly more modest cut that still performs.

Inspired by Bondi, the brand's birthplace, it's no wonder this suit has some serious style. The thin straps and low back give it a more delicate feel, while the all-over tie-dye print is just what long summer days call for. We'd pack ours for a trip to the coast, where we're looking to get some laps in the sea and look cute on the sand simultaneously.

This isn't just your average black swimsuit. Twisted details at the front and padded bust support give the one-piece a vintage feel while the stomach panel enhances your shape, and adjustable straps perfect the fit. Hotel pool on your horizon? You won't want to leave this one behind.

Not much of a red person but ready to get your Medalist on? A blue and white stripe is timeless and equally as beautiful. And when you find yourself wanting to sport nothing but this to the outdoor pool, the medium leg cut will ensure you stay comfy no matter how often you wear it.

Calling all swimmers in search of medium bust support. This square-necked one-piece has a hidden shelf liner ready to provide just that. And the adjustable straps will only aid you in your quest for the ideal fit so that when the time comes to better your speeds, what you're wearing will be the last thing on your mind. Did we mention the near-perfect rating on M&S? Considering how vocal their reviewers are, this sure does say something.

Trust us, as phenomenal as this one-piece looks; it's been designed to go the distance with added coverage in the form of a high neckline and 100%-chlorine-proof quick-drying fabric. We'll be wearing ours as often as is acceptable, which may just be every day.

If you're looking for unrestricted shoulder movement but more coverage on the sides and lower back, the Fixed Crossback has you covered (we had to). That way, when it comes time for drills, you'll have the comfort and confidence to give it your all. The print and tear-drop back are pretty good aesthetic bonuses too.

We're big fans of the thin strapped styles as they switch between 'serious swimmer' and 'here just to have a good time' so easily. If you're having a serious-swimmer day, you'll appreciate the underbust band providing support as you speed your way through the water and the super-high leg, allowing you to move however you want, regardless of your stroke. Having a here-just-to-have-a-good-time day instead? Well, just look at the colour and those lattice-backed straps. Beautiful.

The higher neck and zip-up back on this black number prove that full coverage can be just as striking as strappy styles. A high-cut leg means you'll be free to move those lower limbs however you please, and the CREORA® HighClo™ fabric will ensure it fits like new for longer. Simply put, say hi to your new training bestie.

If you tend to stick to pretty neutral clothing when it comes to your everyday outfits but are all about pulling out a wild pattern at the pool in order to get your print fix in, then Speedo is the brand for you. There are stunning graphics galore.
