Speedo has unveiled a revolutionary Elite speed suite on their 80th anniversary. The new speedo, LZR RACER has been tested and determined to be the world’s fastest swimsuit, with the help and design from NASA’s expertise and number of international research institutions.

The fully bonded swimsuit made from an ultra lightweight, low drag, water repellent, and fast-drying fabric with unique design to help swimmer cut though the water with more power. It’s says to has 10% less passive drag than Speedo’s FASTSKIN FSII launched in 2004 and 5% less passive drag than Speedo’s FASTSKIN FS-PRO.

The world champ, Michael Phelps says “when I hit the water, I feel like a rocket.” “I can’t wait to race in it - this is going to take the sport of swimming to a new level.” Even the Superman uses his aerodynamic suit to shorten the round trip to Krypton and Lance Armstrong wears a finely dimpled aerodynamic suite for optimized performance. Why not the swimmer? Well, that’s Michael version of his super suit, because they are like superhero with a steroid. The suit gets them even further, supersedes their physical ability. If me, I would probably drown then floated like a fat Chinese in a clown outfit.

If you need the super suit, it will go on sale in May for $290 to $550, available for both sex but not for overweight. Sorry.

    The swimmers ain’t sexy anymore. They ain’t even human. They’re just techno-bots.

    Swimmers aren’t sexy anymore? You obviously know nothing about the sport. Ever see an out of shape competitive swimmer? Also, guess which college athletes have the highest GPA? Swimmers. Guess which college athletes were considered to be in the best condition? Swimmers. If you don’t believe it do the research.

    Unlike Baseball, Football and other pro sports, swimming is policed within an an inch of it’s life to catch cheaters (that’s doping, dope). My son has to register his asthma meds to compete and he is only 14!!!

    The technology of training and swim gear has come a very long way. But if you want to know why today’s times are so fast just go to your nearest high school and try to keep up with them for one practice…but make sure a paramedic is there to drag your fat *** out of the pool.
