Believe it or not, there is technology that can make you swim faster. Although it seems unlikely, it was NASA that got into the swimming industry to create suits that leave Nike and other companies in the dust. The revolutionary Speedo LZR Racer has been worn by 40 of the 44 record-setters since mid-February.
And now they’re being released for sale to the public. The product page (listed at 320 euros) describes the suit as the following:
Male LZR RACER Bodyskin
A fully bonded male performance bodysuit with an ultra low profile zip and silicone gripper at the ankle. Made from Speedo’s ultra lightweight LZR Pulse fabric, the suit’s LZR panels, core stabiliser and bonded seams all combine to reduce drag. Available in regular and longer body lengths.
