Provided is a swimsuit that has excellent water repellency / low
water retention rate /
buoyancy and contributes to enhanced athletic ability. The present invention comprises a
woven fabric in which a covering-covered
yarn having a
polyurethane elastic
yarn as a core
yarn and a
synthetic fiber filament as a sheath yarn is disposed in at least a portion of warp and weft yarns, the
polyurethane elastic yarn containing 0.5 to 10
mass% of a cationic high-molecular-weight compound having a number average molecular weight of 2,000 or more and an inorganic
chlorine degradation inhibitor, the
mass ratio of the cationic high-molecular-weight compound and the inorganic
chlorine degradation inhibitor being 0.3 to 3, and the
polyurethane elastic yarn including
silicone, the
synthetic fiber filament being constituted from synthetic fibers including single fibers having a plurality of grooves continuous in the
fiber length direction, the depth of the grooves being 1.0-10.0 µm, the width of an inlet being 0.5-10.0 µm, the width of the tip of a protruding part being 10.0 µm or less, the
porosity due to the
fiber cross-sectional shape of the grooves being 5-30%, and the
woven fabric including a flat
woven fabric having a
porosity of 75% or less and a weft double woven fabric, including a portion in which the flat woven fabric and the weft double woven fabric are repeated at a position covering the
buttocks, and being subjected to a
water repellent treatment.
