You might not be the fastest swimmer on the planet, but you can outfit yourself like the top members of USA Swimming with their gear.

USA Swimming regularly fields the deepest and winningest line-up at every Olympic Games. Some of the biggest names in the sport have come from the USA Swimming ranks, including the greatest swimmer of all time, Michael Phelps, Katie Ledecky, Mark Spitz, Janet Evans, and countless others.

For the swimmer or swim fan who wants to rep USA Swimming, there is a long line of official gear that you can wear. So, while you may not swim as fast as a Phelps or a Ledecky, you can wear the same stuff they do.

Here are seven of our favorite pieces of USA Swimming gear for swimmers and swim fans.

10 Pieces of USA Swimming Gear to Swim and Look Like a Pro

Arena USA Swimming National Team Hoodie

Staying warm on the pool deck is critical for swimmers between races and after warming up. Often, we bundle up in one of our favorite swimmers parka and a toque, but the Arena USA Swimming National Team Hoodie gives us an option for staying warm around the pool.

Made of 96% cotton and 4% stretchy elastane, this pull-over sweatshirt is the same one that the national team wears. Available in four different colors, this soft and comfortable hoodie is machine washable. A big kangaroo pocket at the front keeps your hands warm, and the brushed stretch fleece hood is perfect for keeping your head warm and dry.
