What makes the new Speedo suit for swimmers so great?
Okay for the last two nights I've watched the Olympic trials in swimming on the USA Network. Last night, for the first time, I really took notice of the suits the guys and girls were wearing. I don't see anything extra-ordinary about these new suits Speedo has made. They can't be ALL that fabulous if one of the guys last night broke a World Record and all he was wearing was the pants-like swim suit; nothing covering his chest.

Well, suposedly, the new swimsuit minimizes skin movement which creates drag. With less drag, you can swim faster. Since the suit is skin tight, the skin can't move, which means no skin movement realated drag.
If you're still a really good swimmer, you can beat the world record without having one of the new suits on.
I hopethis helped!

The new suit comes in different cuts -including jammers. When I watched Sunday night, Michael Phelps broke a world record in the full leg LZR suit. Part of what makes the suit so good is the support it provides to the muscles worked in swimming and the aerodynamics for the swimmer reducing drag as much as possible at this time. Records are being broken all over the place with swimmers in these new suits. For the Olympics, I'll be surprised if we see someone win without one of these new suits.

If that works for you, bypass for it. i does not have the self-self belief to placed on a speedo, in spite of the actuality that if I had a swimmer's body (which i do not). once you're gentle in it, who cares what absolutely everyone else thinks? Your attitude will structure the critiques of the ladies people better than your speedo will.
