Gill-inspired flaps covering open mesh areas in Nike’s Victory Swim allow the suit to shed water quickly. The design also features integrated hair management, a built-in sports bra, and close-fitting cuffs at the wrist and ankle to prevent sleeves and pant legs from riding up. The fabric provides a sun protection factor (SPF) of 40.
