Rapid-Dry Thermal Rash Guards for Swimming and Open Water
POD swimming rash guards are designed for swimmers who spend extended time in the water and need reliable protection, comfort, and performance across pool and open-water environments.
Built from advanced 190gsm rapid-dry compression fabric, POD Rapid-Dry Thermal Rash Guards provide warmth management, UV protection, and long-session comfort without the waterlogging or sag commonly found in traditional Lycra rash vests.
Designed for Real Swimming Conditions
Unlike lightweight rash shirts designed primarily for sun cover, POD swimmers' rashies are engineered to perform when wet, windy, and in constant motion.
- 190gsm rapid-dry fabric that sheds water quickly and stays light between sets
- Compression fit supports the body during long swims and training sessions.
- 360° four-way stretch for unrestricted stroke movement
- UPF50+ sun protection for outdoor and open-water swimming
- Antibacterial and sweat-management properties to help maintain freshness
Comfort, Stability, and Durability
POD Rapid-Dry Thermal Rash Guards are designed to stay in place and remain comfortable over extended use.
- The board's short anchor loop helps prevent ride-up during swimming and water entry.
- Durable construction suitable for both pool chlorine and ocean saltwater use
- Fabric resists fading and maintains compression session after session.
Selected models also feature reinforced elbow protection designed to reduce deck and surface abrasion during training and mixed water use.
One Rash Guard, Multiple Water Environments
While optimised for swimming, POD Rapid-Dry rash guards are equally suited to a wide range of surface water activities.
Many swimmers also use the same rash guard for open-water swimming, bodysurfing, bodyboarding, paddleboarding, and general ocean use, reducing the need for multiple garments across disciplines.
The understated POD Blue colourway with subtle tone-on-tone detailing keeps the design clean, functional, and versatile without unnecessary branding.
