Description
xThe Powerskin Impulso is made with best-in-class Italian woven technical fabric, which is more durable and resistant than knitted fabric and retains its shape over time. A hydrophobic treatment minimises water absorption and surface resistance for a faster, cleaner passage through the water. Combined with its flat surface and quick-drying properties, the suit is well suited to multiple events in a single session.
The compressive woven fabric is designed for the optimal combination of compression, muscle support and comfort, helping to support the muscles and improve the hydrodynamic position of the body in the water. Durable low-profile flatlock seams, ergonomically placed, provide exceptional stretch for more freedom of movement. The result is a suit that feels secure and supportive without restricting the stroke.
Created for precision and hydrodynamic performance, the Impulso Kneesuit carries full World Aquatics approval for competition. The open-back style keeps the suit lightweight and unrestricted across the shoulders, making it a strong choice for girls stepping up to race-day performance. This suit is intended for competitive use only and is not recommended for training.

Yes. The Powerskin Impulso Kneesuit carries full World Aquatics approval and is suitable for use at all levels of competitive swimming.
No. The Impulso Kneesuit is intended for competitive use only. Arena does not recommend it for regular training sessions, as the technical fabric and hydrophobic treatment are optimised for race-day performance rather than repeated pool exposure.
Arena sizing for race suits can differ from standard swimwear sizing, and fit is important for compression to work correctly. Please refer to our Arena Powerskin Impulso Girls Size Guide and measure carefully before ordering.
Proper aftercare will help preserve the hydrophobic treatment and extend the life of the fabric. See our full product aftercare guide for full guidance.

Allens Swimwear is a family-run business founded in 1976 by Dennis Allen and his daughter Linda Beal. It started from a genuine need. “With 2 swimmers in the family it was often difficult to find the right kit, so dad and I took the plunge and started selling to local swimmers at our local pool in Kingsbury out of a suitcase and we’ve never looked back.” Today, Linda, her husband Richard, and three of their children Danny, Will and Jenna still run the business together. The suitcase may be long gone, but the founding principle of helping swimmers get the right kit remains exactly the same.

Size chart
This size guide covers the Arena Powerskin Impulso Girls’ Kneesuit — the perfect solution for the junior swimmer seeking an affordable entry into performance racing swimwear. The Impulso’s woven fabric is designed to give moderate compression, supporting the muscles and improving the hydrodynamic position of the body in the water. Features an open-back style and World Aquatics approved construction.
Its lightweight and quick-drying properties, together with a hydrophobic treatment and flat surface, minimise water absorption and surface resistance to further improve hydrodynamics. Durable low-profile flatlock seams, ergonomically placed, provide exceptional stretch for more freedom of movement and greater comfort. Made with the best Italian woven technical fabric — more durable and resistant than knitted fabric, retaining its shape over time. All measurements are body measurements taken directly from your child’s body. Use the Torso Loop (D) as the primary sizing guide.

Take all measurements directly against your child’s skin using a soft tape measure. Use the Torso Loop (D) as the primary sizing guide — this determines how the suit sits across the shoulders and through the body. Age is shown as a guide only.
If measurements fall between sizes, speak to a member of staff at Allens who will be happy to advise on the best fit.

Age ranges are a guide only. All measurements are body measurements, not garment measurements. Use the Torso Loop (D) as the primary sizing guide. Speak to a member of staff at Allens if you are unsure.
Watch our guide to measuring for the Arena Powerskin Impulso Girls' Kneesuit.
Measure your child’s chest (A), waist (B), hip (C), and torso loop (D) using a soft tape measure directly against the skin. Use the Torso Loop (D) as the primary guide and compare all measurements to the sizing table above. Age is shown as a guide only — always use body measurements as children develop at very different rates. Speak to a member of staff at Allens if you are unsure.
The Torso Loop is measured by running a soft tape measure over one shoulder, down the front of the body, under the crotch, and back up to the same shoulder. This is the most important measurement for a kneesuit as it determines how the suit sits across the shoulders and through the body.
Always select by body measurements. The age ranges shown are a guide only — children develop at very different rates and age alone is not a reliable indicator of the correct size. Measure the chest, waist, hip, and torso loop and compare to the sizing table, using the torso loop as the primary guide.
A junior racing kneesuit should feel firm and compressive but comfortable throughout a full competition day. It should be completely wrinkle-free when correctly fitted — any bunching or gathering indicates the suit is too large. The straps should sit flat on the shoulders with no pulling, and leg hems should end above the knee in line with World Aquatics regulations.
Yes — both the Arena Powerskin Impulso and ST Next Girls’ Kneesuits meet FINA/World Aquatics specifications and are approved for use in all sanctioned competitive swimming events. Always check with your event organiser for any local age group rules regarding tech suits in competition. Speak to a member of staff at Allens if you need further guidance.
If your child’s measurements fall between two sizes, speak to a member of staff at Allens who will be happy to advise on the best fit. Arena racing kneesuits are designed to fit closely — a suit that fits correctly should feel firm and supportive without restricting breathing or movement.
Arena racing kneesuits are competition suits and are not designed for regular training use. Using a tech suit for training will degrade the fabric and reduce its lifespan significantly. Reserve it for races and competition warm-ups. Arena offer a wide range of junior training swimsuits for everyday pool use.
Rinse the suit in cold fresh water immediately after every use. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, iron, or dry-clean. Store flat and dry, away from direct sunlight. Avoid contact with sunscreen, oils, and petroleum-based products. Do not wring or twist the suit. Handle with care when putting on and taking off to protect the fabric.
