Volleyball bikinis: dive for the ball, not your top
Beach volleyball needs a bikini that holds on when you jump, dive and land face-first in the sand (we've all done it). Here's what to look for, and which pieces to bring to the court.
What volleyball asks of a bikini
Jumping, diving, landing in sand and reaching overhead, over and over. A bikini made for tanning moves the second you go up to block. You want a top that holds on the way up and on the landing, and bottoms that stay put when you dig for a ball.
The top
Look for straps that don't rely on a neck tie and a band that sits flat under your bust. Neck-tie triangles loosen with every jump. The Racer does both, with crossback straps, an under-band, medium support and no padding.
The bottom
Swim shorts give you the most coverage and are hard to pull sideways when you dive. If you like a brief, it should sit snugly on your hips so sand and dives don't shift it.
Sand, sun and a long day on court
A long day on court means sand, sun and salt. Our fabric is quick drying and keeps its stretch through a whole day of games. Sunscreen on everything else.
