If all you know is swim, sand and surf, then read up because these are things made for water babies like you.
You’ll never beat your time, do your best at competitions or catch the biggest waves with that thick, saggy wetsuit or those clunky shorts. What you need is gear that doesn’t feel like it’s there at all, swim and activewear that feels like second skin, disappearing the moment your body — mind and muscle alike — engages in activity.
No on else knows this better than Australian swimwear label Speedo.
For fall and winter 2016, the expert swimwear brand in partnership with the world’s leading athletes, coaches, sports scientists and physiotherapists introduce a powerful new collection of five design lines created with Manila’s water lovers in mind.
Swim Fitness suits
Taking technology and design from the elite racing suit, the Fastskin LZR X, the suit’s main feature are its Power Mesh Panels that have the ultimate purpose of supporting swimmers’ core areas and providing core muscle support.

The Competitive collection for training
Both men and women won’t be able to choose just one piece when they see surprising designs with graphics inspired by the LZR Racer X suit seamlessly combined with form and function. Built to endure the wear and tear of intense training, items in this line resist snagging and fading longer than other fabrics, features multidirectional stretch fabric, UVA and UVB protection from the sun and high chlorine resistance.

The Fastskin® suits for racingÂ
The LZR Racer X and LZR Racer Elite 2 suits increase targeted compression, streamlines the body and holds swimmers higher in the water, allowing them to move much faster.

Made for men, these shorts are full of great technology, versatile and stylish with pocket drainage to prevent water and sand from accumulating and is quick drying.
