Voyager Sportswear manufactures swimming and aquatics team apparel for swim clubs, including poolside tops, shorts, tracksuits and travel sets for swimmers, coach tops and event tees. We also make swim shorts, and the fabric and construction of any garment worn in the water are specified separately. Swimmer, coach and event garments go on separate lists, each with its own quantities and colour references.
Garments and specifications
In an aquatics programme, poolside layers are split between athletes and staff. Record the fabric weight, fit, care instructions, club marks and size allocation. A garment meant to be worn in the water is assessed separately for fabric and construction.
Garment options are in the product families: Performance T-shirts and training tops, Sports shorts and skorts and Training sets and tracksuits.
Plan the poolside collection
Keep the athletes’ travel and poolside clothing apart from coach, staff and event garments. For a tracksuit, count tops and trousers separately and check their colour side by side where the fabrics differ. Pocket closures, sleeve length and the room needed for layers underneath are specified in the brief and judged on a sample, not from a product photograph.
For a garment to be worn in the water, give its exact use, the fibre and stretch requirements, the lining and fit reference, plus any evidence required for a performance claim. Its feasibility is confirmed before the garment is included in a club launch or event programme.
Say how poolside clothing will be worn
Tell us whether a top is for travel, team presentation, identifying coaches or wear between sessions at the pool. A garment worn over other clothing needs different ease from one worn directly against the body. For trousers and shorts, give the waist, length and pocket requirements. Check the combination on the person who will wear it, including putting it on and sitting down.
Swimwear performance claims do not carry over to a poolside shirt. Describe the fabric feel, weight, opacity and care requirements for the way the shirt will be used. A product meant to go in the water needs its own feasibility and material review.
Example: swimmers, coaches and event staff
A swim club might order matching travel sets for swimmers, tops in a different colour for coaches and a separate event tee. The three garment lists, colour references and quantities stay separate. Swimmers’ kit may be packed in sets while staff shirts are packed in cartons by size, so show both arrangements in the enquiry.
We can help define the collection
Send the club or event use, the garment list, approximate quantities, logos, the sizes you know, references, destination and date, and say which pieces should coordinate and which must look clearly different. Voyager Sportswear can help clarify garment construction, fabric direction, branding and samples for the confirmed garments before the collection is approved for production.
Questions and answers
What apparel does Voyager Sportswear make for swim clubs?
For swim clubs, Voyager Sportswear makes poolside tops, shorts, tracksuits and travel sets for swimmers, coach tops, event tees and swim shorts. The fabric and construction of swim shorts and any other garment worn in the water are specified separately, so give the exact use, fibre and stretch requirements, lining and fit reference. For poolside garments, describe the fabric feel, weight, opacity and care requirements for the intended use.
How should a swim club split team apparel between swimmers, coaches and staff?
A swim club should keep swimmers' travel and poolside clothing separate from coach, staff and event garments, each with its own garment list, colour references and quantities. Swimmers' kit packed in sets and staff shirts packed in cartons by size are different arrangements, so show both in the enquiry and state which pieces must coordinate and which must look clearly different.
What should a swim club specify when ordering poolside tracksuits?
For poolside tracksuits, a swim club should count tops and trousers separately and check the colour of both pieces side by side where the fabrics differ. Specify pocket closures, sleeve length and the room needed for layers underneath, plus waist, length and pocket requirements for the trousers. Try the combination on a sample, on the person who will wear it, including putting it on and sitting down, rather than judging from a product photograph.
From brief to production
Voyager Sportswear makes the garments in house in Turkey, from pattern making and sampling to cutting, sewing and quality control. Depending on the fabric and artwork, sublimation, embroidery, DTF or heat transfer can be considered, and we agree the method with you for each order. A sample is made to check fit, construction and placement, and bulk production follows once it is approved.
Send the garment list, artwork or references, quantities and sizes, fabric requirements, destination and required date through request a manufacturing quote. Voyager Sportswear generally sends an initial response within 24 hours.
