Cotton is not typically used for swimming costumes because it absorbs water, becoming heavy and uncomfortable when wet. This absorption also leads to prolonged drying times, which can be impractical for swimwear. Additionally, cotton lacks the elasticity and durability needed for active movement in water, making synthetic materials like nylon and spandex more suitable for swimwear. These alternatives provide better fit, comfort, and resistance to chlorine and saltwater.
