Some of these swim suits might help you get that extra bit of speed for the next race. 1) Speedo FastskinThis a technically advanced swimwear piece made with unique fabrics that mimic a sharkskin with dermal denticles-tinly hydrofoils with V-shaped ridges for decreased drag and turbulence around the body. 2) Speedo AquabladeUnique Aquablade fabric offers lower drag co-efficient and is slicker than skin! Stripes create channeling effect to streamline water away from the body. Longer legs for added coverage and compression fit. 3) TYR AquapelTyr's Aqualpel is constructed of a Lycra blend with a silky, smooth finish, offering you a combination of freedom of movement and optimal comfort while you swim. 4) Arena PowerskinA proper fitting swimsuit can make all of the difference during competition. POWERSKIN has been sized specifically for competitive swimmers and will therefore, fit like a second skin. There is no need to "size down" with this product. The engineers at Arena have already taken this requirement into consideration. 5) Nike LiftNike Swimming uses the latest special finishing techniques to produce a slick, supple effect for minimum resistance in the water. The fabric combined with strategically placed seams gives the swimmer maximum glide by channeling the water to flow over the body, thus reducing turbulence and decreasing drag. 6) Diana Submarine LineSubmarine swimsuits have been designed and modelled on swimmers' bodies, reducing to the minimum the use of seams, ribbing, roughness and corners, as all these are factors which increase surface and form resistance rather than reducing them Related Guide PicksTop Flippers & FinsTop GogglesTop Hand PaddlesTop KickboardsTop Pullbuoys Suggested Reading |
