      Hello!
      Most of our fabrics that we make ‘everyday’ swim suits from are warp knitted using polyester, nylon and elastane (I think maybe you have heard of Lycra? this is a type of elastane)
      Our racing suits are made from very high spec light weight wovens, using nylon and elastane
      We then have different chemical finishes and textures on the surfaces of the textiles to give us different effects
      Hope this helps? Let me know if you want any more detail
