SPEEDO® LZR RACER™What’s happening in the world of
swimwear? On Valentine’s day, February 14th 2008
Speedo launched it’s latest and most advanced hydro-dynamic
swimsuit following input from
NASA, tests on over 100 specialist fabrics and body scans of over 400 of the wolrds elite swimmers.
Made from a water repellent, fast-drying and lightweight fabric that is ultrasonically welded together to appear seamless the
SPEEDO® LZR RACER™ has been specifically developed to help hold the
swimmers body in a more streamlined position and reduce drag.
Speedo claims that the
swimwear has been independently tested and pronounced the ‘world’s fastest’ swimwear which would mean a 5% more efficient
swimmer giving super athletes such as
Michael Phelps from the
USA,
Libby Lenton and
Grant Hackett from
Australia and others wearing the
swimsuit in the Olympics in Beijing later this year a better chance of more Gold Medals and world records broken.
The
swimsuit has now been approved by
FINA (
Fédération International de Natation Amateur), and
Speedo’s®
LZR RACER™ will be seen at national trials worldwide from March 2008.
The specialist material that is used is called
LZR PULSE™ and it incorporates low drag "
LZR" panels which create a
corset-like effect that supports the
swimmer in the best body position through the water and lets them keep it for longer. YUMMY, now you’re talking.....’
corset-like’ is great for us girls after having indulged through the dark winter months on one or two romantic meals and a selection of chocolate boxes at
Valentines Day!
Well the
SPEEDO®
LZR RACER™
swimsuit may be just what an Olympic athlete may require, but I think a
Miraclesuit is more my style to hide those extra pounds, give me a great shape on the beach or by the pool and still make me look and feel great!
