I would love to know if there is a fabric in the marketplace that would be suitable for swimwear and compression fabrics as in cycling clothing.  It would be great if in the marketplace there was a description as to what the fabric is for so users can make selections based on that.

  Hi Spincy. You can find materials like PU40% NYLON50% SPAN10% in the marketpalce which can be used for swimwear. My experience is that you end up doing a lot of tweaking around to make it more firm. That is because the swimwear, the compression one, will have elastic embedded in the edges and its folded, so that adds more support.

  Lately I ended up using Knit Point Jersey as is stretchy but more firm. Check the image below.

  I hope this helps,
