FYI, this cult activewear brand makes swimwear too

If one thing unites the 9Product Reviews team, it’s our love of CRZ Yoga. Well, also our love of a great deal, but since it’s one of the most affordable quality activewear brands we’ve come across, the two go hand-in-hand.
We’ve reviewed their cult leggings, active shorts, and this sports bra, too. However, we’ve just realised they also make swimwear, with a few of the styles doubling as activewear. They’ve got three types of swim tops available on Amazon, and one pair of swim shorts.
While not a new idea, active swimwear has taken off in the last few years. As we lean out of trends and into capsule wardrobes made up of fewer items, it’s convenient to have pieces that can serve more than one purpose. If you’re someone who swims at the gym or local leisure centre as part of their workout, a sweat-to-swim set is essential.

We already know that CRZ’s specialty is their ultra-soft, buttery fabric, and it looks like their swimwear is just as comfortable. Touted as smooth, quick-drying, and with four-way stretch, it’s also supposedly resistant to harsh chlorine and salt water, which usually has colour-fading properties.

Both the CRZ Yoga Women’s Padded Athletic Bathing Suit Bikini Top and the CRZ Yoga Women’s Racerback Bikini Top have built-in chest pads for support, an ideal addition for women with bigger busts. They can’t be removed – something worth noting if you like your swimwear pad-free, but also great if you want some light padding without the cups folding in on themselves after a spin in the washing machine.
Speaking of bigger busts, there are two racerback tops in the range – one with thicker straps, and one with thin, spaghetti-style straps. While the thicker straps will offer better support, both tops are high coverage, so you can avoid spillage at the beach.
We also love their Women’s Swim Shorts, which have a 1.1-inch inseam and an adjustable ruched design on the outside of the legs. If you don’t love wearing bikini bottoms on the beach, these are a great alternative.
Best of all, the most expensive of these pieces is $48 (the thick-strapped racerback bikini top). The thin-strapped tops are just $43.99, while the swim shorts are $41. With most active swimwear costing in the $80 and above range, we love how affordable these pieces are.
