Get set and go for a new generation of
racing swimsuits
With the Olympic Games almost upon us, the clever people behind swimming’s biggest brands have been busy creating racing suits professionals love. You might not be on the next plane to compete at Beijing, but investing in a great racing suit could make a real difference to your performance. We’ve tried out some of the latest suits for you (we know it’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it!). And here’s our low-down…
Diana’s Shining Arrow is as slick as they come. Researched, designed and developed in Italy, Shining Arrow cuts drag resistance and its Glass-Tex fabric enhances muscle compression for better performances. Put simply? A suit that’s ahead of its time.
Blue Seventy’s Nero Comp screams speed. Its incredible fit means lower drag (over 50 times lower than skin) and improved speed. Made from Yamamoto SCS fabric with hydrophobic skin, it’s not only high performance but high comfort too. We’ll see you at the starting block!
TYR’s Tracer Light has been designed to be the perfect fit for the human form. Engineered compression in each panel optimises your performance, muscular torque and flexion. A racer’s dream.
Maru’s MX1 fits like a second skin so you can keep on beating your personal best. Made from the latest generation of chlorine-proof fabric, it always delivers perfect fit and shape. Less drag, more speed – what more could you ask for?
