Jammers are always a popular choice among competitive swimmers for both training and racing.
They are known for their close-fitting style and knee length design which offers more coverage than swimming trunks or briefs.
But there’s one key thing to remember when shopping for a new pair of training jammers — durability. By its very nature, serious swim training involves hours and hours in the pool, so you need confidence that your swimwear is in it for the long haul too.
Specialist training jammers are made with UV and chlorine-resistant fabric, which can be expected to last up to four times longer than a regular swimsuit. This helps the swimsuit keep its colour, shape and fit for longer, saving the swimmer a lot of money over the long term.
Arena are one of the world’s leading swimwear brands, and have developed their own Max Life fabric which offers the type of durability that swimmers need from their training kit.
To help you decide, we’ve come up with five top picks for Arena training jammers.
Top 5 Arena training jammers

These smart and sporty jammers have a great look, and are available in a wide choice of colours to suit every taste.
As well as the traditional black and white jammers featured here, the Spider design is available in black and red, navy blue and green, blue and red, navy blue and white, or a unique mirtilla and leaf colour.
Spider jammers are made with Arena’s Max Life fabric, which guarantees excellent UV and chlorine resistance and protects from fading and degrading. Ideal for swimmers who prefer a longer leg on their training jammers, these Spiders are comfortable to wear and quick to dry.

4) Arena Underwater Mid Jammers
These Arena Underwater Mid Jammers take the traditional black jammer look and inject it with a vivid plum design down the hip.
With a shorter 35cm leg, they are ideal for swimmers who prefer more of their thighs to be uncovered during training.
They are guaranteed to stand the tests of time in the water, with Arena’s Max Life fabric giving them maximum chlorine and UV protection that helps to preserve colour and fit.

With the Arena logo climbing up one leg, these Resistor jammers bring a competitive and sporty feel to the training swimwear range.
Arena’s Max Life fabric again ensures excellent resistance to UV and chlorine, keeping these jammers looking and feeling as good as new for longer. Shape, stretch and fit are also retained for longer.
The longer legs on these jammers provide excellent support, while a front lining gives extra comfort. The Resistor jammers are available in three colours. As well as the black and red design featured here, there are options to buy in black and turquoise, or navy blue and white.

Check out the design of these Arena Glitch Panel Jammers, which add a really colourful twist to the traditional black-style jammer.
An eye-catching splice print works its way down the hip to the front of the thigh, and there are two colours to choose from – the multicoloured option shown here, or a blue and black version.
Arena’s Max Life fabric provides exceptional levels of UV and chlorine resistance, while its quick-drying properties mean these jammers are ready for swimming whenever you are. The long legs and interior front lining provide additional comfort and support, leaving these jammers feeling soft on the skin even after countless hours of pooltime.

1) Arena Instinct Panel Jammers
There’s very little to separate the Glitch and Instinct Panel Jammers at the top of our list.
In the end it came down to the colour scheme — we just love the abstract and fiery look of these Instinct jammers, and the way the spliced print wraps around more of the hip.
While colourful, they are still subtle and serious enough for training sessions, and feature all of the UV/chlorine-resistant and quick-drying properties synonymous with Arena’s Max Life fabric. With such exceptional levels of comfort and fit, these jammers feel soft on the skin and will not cause irritation even after long training sessions in the water.
