Speedo Swim Suits
“When speedy and swift still aren’t fast enough!”

Most kids have sports heroes. When you were growing up, yours was Chris Evert, and when you were dating, all the boys talked about were Terry Bradshaw and Johnny Bench. A handful even talked about Mark Spitz.
Now, all your son seems to talk about is Michael Phelps, the greatest Olympic swim champion in history. Its no wonder that he keeps begging for a new Speedo swimsuit, Michael Phelps’ choice when winning the gold in the Beijing Olympics. Like a famous food slogan, Speedos on Michael Phelps is the “breakfast of champions”. They help him eat the competition alive.
It is no wonder that the likes of Phelps, Greg Louganis, Amanda Beard and Dawn Fraser have worn Speedos. It is a company with a long history and contemporary excellence. Founded in 1914 in Sydney, Australia, Speedo built its first racing swimsuit in 1928 when it developed its Racerback design. It’s been known as Speedo ever since. One of the first companies to use modern materials, Speedo introduced nylon into its swimsuits in 1955, and the move proved a winner. The 1956 Summer Olympics saw the widespread use of Speedos, and the company became known for both its innovative use of materials and its brief style swimsuit.
Speedo remained innovative. In the 1970s and 1980s, new fabrics like lycra became common place in Speedo suits. In the 1990s, the company introduced its Speedo Aquablade and Fastskin lines for competitive racing. Not only did the designs use new fabrics that mimic the the skin characteristics of water animals like sharks, reducing drag in the water, but the company continuously expanded beyond its classic briefs into styles like jammers and full body suits.
The greatest innovation of all may have been Speedo’s LZR Pulse suits. Developed using space age technology, this suit rightly claims to be the world’s fastest swimsuit. Swimmers wearing LZR suits have broken 182 world records.
