If you’ve spent any time in the pool, you know the struggle of finding water polo / underwater hockey / underwater rugby kit that actually survives more than one season. Between the chlorine and the constant grabbing during games, most suits just don’t stand a chance.
Here’s the lowdown on why these SHOALO swimsuits have become such a staple for many clubs / teams in the United Kingdom, EU and New Zealand.
We’ve all been there: you buy a swimsuit that looks great, but three games in, the fabric is thinning or the zipper feels like it’s about to give up. The first thing you will notice about SHOALO’s suits is the double layering of outer fabric and lining.
For the Women’s WP Zipbacks: The fit is incredibly secure. There’s no worrying about the suit shifting mid-play, which lets you focus entirely on the game.
For the Men’s WP Trunks: They’re built like tanks (not obviously tanks, but you get my drift), but still feel streamlined. The fabric has that "locked-in" feel that doesn't stretch out or sag after a few heavy training sessions / games.
Design Freedom
Because SHOALO uses dye-sublimation, the designs are literally in the fabric. Team colours stay vibrant even after months of daily / weekly chlorine exposure. Plus, they don’t have those annoying high minimum order counts, which makes it so much easier when just a handful of extra suits are needed for new players mid-season.
The Personal Touch
It’s always nice supporting a family-run business that genuinely knows their business. You can feel that they’ve put a lot of thought into the small details. It feels less like buying from a giant corporation and more like getting kit from people who are just as passionate about the game as we are.
Verdict
If your club is looking to level up their look SHOALO is a fantastic option. It’s one thing to look sharp on the poolside, but it’s another thing to have kit that actually performs when the game gets intense.
