Swim Jacket or Swim Parka? Same same - It's A Specialized Jacket for Watersports

A swim jacket is a jacket made for swimming and watersports. Swim parka and deck coat are all synonyms. It is a jacket that you can wear over your swimsuit when you're going to and from the pool, when you're waiting for your next event at a swim meet, or chilling by the pool side. A swim jacket makes every part of swimming more enjoyable. You can spend more time swimming and less time juggling your towel, clothing, and wet swimsuit in a yucky changing room! 

You likely have seen and wondered why elite swimmers walk onto the pool deck in their swim parkas. A swim parka or swim jacket keeps your body warm and muscles loose, which is optimal for racing. But did you know that its use is not limited to racing? This soft and fleece-lined long jacket is perfect for water activities and can benefit anyone who loves to swim and be around water.

A swim jacket can be comfortably worn over your swimsuit. The fleece lining is smooth and velvety soft. It feels so cozy on your bare skin. When you arrive at the pool, you're ready to dive in. 

Here are more features of a swim jacket that makes it specialized for swimming:

• The extra length in a swim jacket means it provides extra warmth. 
• A fleece-lined hood in a swim jacket means less heat loss.
• The fleece lining in a swim jacket means that it's comfortable on bare (slightly damp) skin.
• The waterproof / water-resistant fabric in a swim jacket means no more embarrassing wet spots. 
• Large and easily accessible pockets in a swim jacket means a hands-free experience when you head to the pool or stroll along the sandy beach.
• The two-way zipper in a swim jacket provides more leg room.

When it's time to go home, have a quick rinse, pat dry with a towel, then slip on your swim jacket! No more shimmying out of your wet swimsuit behind a falling towel. No more awkward moments in a public changing room. It makes your trip to the pool quick and graceful.

If you're driving, you would be happy to know that Tingting's swim parka has a waterproof outer shell. It will save your car seats. A swim jacket is truly is an essential gear in your swim bag. When you get home, you can shower and change in the comfort and privacy of your own home. 

Here at Tingting, we gave our parkas a special name, because "swim parka", "swim jacket", and "deck coat" all seem to lack vigor. We smashed "swim" and "parka" together and sPARKA is born! (pronounced as Spark-Ka).

The Original sPARKA is a mid-thigh length swim parka with a full zipper, snug hood, ribbed cuffs and waistbands to retain body heat. It is suitable for indoor pools. It looks just like an everyday jacket that you could wear to the movies or to brunch!

A warmer alternative is Tingting's sPARKA Fly, a knee-length swim parka. It has a large hood, 5 pockets, and pleated details. Its extra length makes it perfect for outdoor swimming. On cold and gloomy days, wrap a swim parka around you, pull up the hood, and off you go to swim practice. You're unstoppable. You can conquer anything!

Tingting's swim parkas are designed for anyone who enjoys swimming and other watersports. Whether you do it for fun, fitness, rehabilitation, or competition, a swim jacket is an invaluable piece of clothing that can enhance your swimming experience and help you stick to your goals.
