The Speedo FASTSKIN3 Super Elite Swimsuit incorporates an innovative 3D Zoned Compression fabric system throughout, sculpting the swimmer's body to create the most efficient and hydrodynamic swimming shape in the water, reducing skin friction drag by up to 2.7%. The system incorporates revolutionary Hydro K-Zone 3D fabric which provides high power, graduated compression throughout, helping to achieve the optimum hydrodynamic profile. This is complemented by Pulse-Flex Fabric used on the shoulders and panels, offering high stretch in one direction to couple freedom of movement with powerful compression.
A 'Body Stability Web' constant seam framework gives greater stability, improving stroke and enhancing the effectiveness of starts and turns by up to 3%**, while an IQ FIT 'snap back' waistband on the male jammer, eliminates the need for drawstrings and ensures a flatter, more efficient profile.
For female suits, Speedo has developed a unique Armhole Entry system making it easier to put on while maintaining the best possible fit and maximum fabric coverage, optimising the suit's hydrodynamic properties.
Speedo FASTSKIN3 Racing System has been developed following extensive research and development by Speedo's own in-house Aqualab facility, working with elite level athletes and coaches, sports scientists, global hydrodynamics experts and optical engineers around the world. Innovative design techniques utilised include the use of the same 3D scanning technology used to generate realistic CGI in Hollywood films.
Speedo has also worked with noted sports psychologists from Loughborough University (UK) in the development of the confidence-inspiring design of the Speedo FASTSKIN3 Racing System, with practical elements including a blue/grey tint on the lens of the goggle to evoke feelings of calm and focus.
“With Speedo FASTSKIN3 Racing System I feel like an action hero, ready to take on the world,” said double world record holder Ryan Lochte (USA), while Liesel Jones (AUS), said: “With the Speedo FASTSKIN3 Racing System you feel like you've been propelled into the future.”
David Robinson, Speedo President, said, “Speedo has always been the pioneer of new swimwear technology and innovation, and this reputation is underpinned by the development of the FASTSKIN3 Racing System, another world-first from Speedo that will help swimmers achieve their full performance potential.”
“Speedo is passionate about inspiring people to swim, whether it's to race, for health and fitness or just to have fun. Speedo puts the swimmer at the centre of everything we do and we dedicate ourselves to creating the best products and experiences for every swimmer”.
The Speedo FASTSKIN3 collection features three levels of technology, each tailored to the needs of swimmers of differing abilities: SUPER ELITE for professional athletes; ELITE for advanced competitors; and PRO for intermediate swimmers.
The Speedo FASTSKIN3 Racing System goes on sale exclusively on Speedo.com on December 1 2011 and will be broadly available elsewhere from January 1 2012.
