Speedo Swimsuits

With a focus on fitness, many men can benefit from the training suits offered by Speedo. The training suits offer exclusive fabrics and progressive technology when it comes to developing suits for competition and training.

Not all suits are for hardcore athletes. Speedo swimsuits also offer several options for those just looking for quality swimwear for the beach or pool. Investing in a classic everyday suit will pay off in style and durability for years to come.

Training Suits

Speedo swimsuits come in several styles suitable for training and competition. With superior fabrics and twenty-first century engineering, these suits can help increase an athlete’s stamina and cut down on drag (resistance in water). These suits include:

FastskinFSII

The FastskinFSII comes in full bodysuits, jammers, legskins and briefs. It's designed for drag racing. The suit material mimics rough shark denticles to reduce drag in key areas and has a Turbulence Management System. A specialized fabric, Flexskin, allows for better flexibility and less drag. It shows up as white on the suits.

Racing Suits

Several lines are within the racing section.

• The Endurance line features color retention technology, shape retention, quick drying action, UV protection, and is chlorine resistant. The Endurance is designed to resist degradation. It is marketed for swim training and regular use. The Endurance line comes in jammers and briefs.

• The Basic line features classic diving suits, briefs and jammers for those who are not training or spending a lot of time in the water.

• Training suits come in regular fit nylon, or in mesh poly or a baggy nylon, which are looser fitting to promote drag for training.

• Aquablade briefs and jammers feature a special fabric designed for the least amount of drag, with a sleek texture. Stripes on the suit are designed to pull water away from the body.

• The Avenger Water Polo suit has Endurance fabric for durability and comfort, and is environmentally friendly.

• The Fitness swim line offers thongs, briefs and square legs in classic fits and styles.

XD Skin

The XD Skin line dries faster, has a 2-hour water saturation time, releases water faster, has great stretch and is chlorine resistant. Additionally, it has less snagging and is good for multi-sport use. It comes in jammers, briefs, and shorts

Everyday Suits

The Basic line and Fitness swim line racing shorts are suitable for everyday wear. However, for those men not comfortable with the tight fitting suits, a different, more fashionable line is available called Watershorts.

Watershorts come in a variety of colors and styles. The actual Watershort has a full mesh lining, key pockets on the inside, drawstring waists, and side pockets. The Boardshorts are similar to the Watershorts, but with a Velcro fly and outside drawstring cord. Surfrunner shorts have elastic waistbands, mesh liners with key pockets, deep side pockets, and a hidden back pocket. The Surfrunners are shorter than the Watershorts or Boardshorts. The shape is similar to a classic trunk suit.
