Speedo Swimwear

Speedo Swimwear

Speedo swimwear has carved out a niche for itself by turning out some of the most competitive swimwear on the market. Rather than focusing solely on fashion, Speedo is dedicated to designing and retailing high performance swimsuits that are routinely found on the diving, and racing circuits. You'll find many top women athletes are Speedo clients, including:

• Natalie Coughlin, five time Olympic medalist.
• Amanda Beard, seven time Olympic medalist.
• Barb Lindquist, triathlete.

Fashion Swimwear

Speedo does carry a versatile line of women's swimsuits that are both high quality and fashionable, but perhaps a bit more conservative than swimsuits from other designers such as Salinas, and Venus. Colors are mainly in the primary range, and patterns are attractive, but not exotic. If you are looking for high quality swimwear that will endure, but you don't necessarily want to call extra attention to yourself, Speedo's fashion swimwear should be a perfect fit, no pun intended.

Performance Suits and Fabrics

This is the area where Speedo blows the competition away. Let's look at a few of their top designs.

XD Skin

XD, as in extra dry, is one of Speedo's new water repellant fabrics that helps athletes stay dry longer. This innovative material can resist water saturation for nearly two hours, so it dries far quicker than standard Lycra swimsuits. A faster drying time means less chafing for triathletes, and anyone who wants to go straight from the water to biking, running, or whatever else you can think of. This material is also highly resistant to chlorine and ultra violet rays, both of which contribute to swimsuit break down.

Speedo Endurance

This line offers swimsuits that are ideal for anyone who spends a lot of time in the water. The fabric is resistant to chlorine, which means it won't fade and degrade as quickly as other conventional swimwear can. The use of PBT yarns ensure that these suits will retain their shape, providing necessary stretch with superior comfort. This line also offers a bit more color than the fashion swimwear.

Swym

What do you get when you combine materials and styling into a suit that is perfect for both swimming and gym use? Swym. Speedo' Swym line is just as much at home in the water as it is on the go. These suits are twenty times more resistant to sun and chlorine fade than conventional swimsuits, because they contain no spandex. The material also resists water absorption, so you stay dry longer, and dry off quicker, for greater overall comfort.

Virtual Try-On Room

If you're one of many women who simply do not enjoy trying on swimsuits at the store, suffer no more. Speedo swimwear offers a feature called My Virtual Model that recreates your shape on a computer figure to allow you to see how each suit will look on you before you buy it. You simply enter a few crucial statistics such as height, weight and bust size, and wella! Your virtual twin is ready to model any suit you choose. Too bad every swimsuit manufacturer doesn't have one of these.

When conventional fashion swimwear isn't able to give you the kind of endurance and flexibility you need, Speedo swimwear offers a high quality alternative in an attractive package.
