10 Best Active Swimwear for Women UK 2024 | Speedo, Zoggs and More

Although it may be one of the more expensive options on the list, this high quality suit will make sure your training sessions go swimmingly. It's made from Infinitex+ performance fabric that uses high compression for intense training. This can help improve the blood flow to the muscles, allowing you to warm up and recover faster.

Ultra-quick drying, it strangely feels dry even when its wet, saving you time towelling off once you're back on dry land. Best of all, it features a fresh design with a snug fit that's not too tight!

This may seem like a basic swimsuit, but it's gained plenty of fans. Owners of this offering from Slazenger attest to how supportive and secure it feels, even when doing vigorous activities like water aerobics. 

The scoop back is really flattering and makes the suit easy to put on. It's made from chlorine resistant fabric and fully lined to ensure your modesty remains fully intact. Overall, the quality far outweighs its reasonable price point, even outperforming some of the more expensive brands. 

It's notoriously difficult to buy sports swimwear if you have a larger bust, which is why we've awarded this swimsuit a bronze medal in our ranking. It has inbuilt bust support which, when coupled with the zip closure on the back, will allow you to feel comfortable and secure in the water.

This is a very attractive suit from Figleaves with a high neck front and racer style back that give it a sports-luxe feel. The curve of the fabric panels accentuates an hour-glass shape and is super flattering on all figures!

The legsuit is certainly growing in popularity amongst female swimmers. If you're looking to try one, we can't recommend this swimsuit highly enough! It's made from Speedo's Endurance + fabric which is quick drying and chlorine resistant. As it won't fade or stretch, you can train with it day after day.

The only slight downside is that the legs can ride up a bit as you swim. But, minor annoyances aside, it offers great bust coverage, support and will stand the test of time, even for the most frequent of swimmers.

This gorgeous soft plum coloured swimsuit is undeniably alluring. We love the understated and classy design, with crossback strapping that reveals a bit of skin, while providing enough coverage to remain practical. 

If you're after an active swimsuit that doesn't necessarily look like one, this could be the perfect choice for you. The deep V neck looks daring, but is surprisingly supportive, including removable cups which offer an added level of protection should you prefer it. 

The colour of this suit just screams cool swimming pool or tropical seas, and is sure to be flattering on a variety of different skin tones. Best of all, if you're self-conscious about showing too much leg in the pool, the extra hip and thigh coverage can be a real confidence boost.

However, this particular design can prove difficult to get on and off, owing to the cut and the tension of the material. But once it's on it'll really sculpt and shape you for a streamlined silhouette. 

This sleek swimsuit from Nike is a top choice for training. It features wider than usual straps for increased comfort when practising laps. It's also made using chlorine resistant Hydrastrong fabric, for better durability, even with regular wear.

Just be aware that this swimsuit isn't particularly suitable for women with larger busts, as it doesn't offer any support. This isn't ideal if you're blessed in the chest department, as the last thing you need is to be worrying about falling out of your suit when you're mid-training session. 

This suit has wider straps and increased back coverage, giving improved support and a comfortable and secure fit. It's made from Arena's exclusive Maxfit fabric with 4-way-stretch that offers the perfect balance of lightness, elasticity and power.

This is a really attractive suit from a well known swimming brand. That said, we've had to mark it down owing to the fact that the green metallic detailing is prone to peeling off. While won't affect the performance of the suit, it does detract from the overall quality of the garment.

This swimsuit from Zoggs' essential range is designed to offer comfort and support, while providing excellent value for money. Made from chlorine resistant Aqualast fabric, it won't stretch or sag for less drag in the pool. 

Unfortunately, it comes up a little short in the body. So if you're taller, or have a longer torso, you may want to consider choosing a different design as this one could dig in or be uncomfortable to wear. 

This stylish swimsuit from Speedo has a very modern looking design, despite being a traditional cut. The red and black ombre is eye catching, but not over the top, with a high neck for increased coverage and light bust support.

However, there are a couple of areas where this suit falls short. Firstly, the length of the zipper pull is far too short, meaning that you may find it difficult to zip it all the way up unaided. Second of all, the sizing runs very small, even by swimwear standards.
