Speedo Fastskin & Fastskin II - A Buying Guide

Speedo is a leading manufacturer of swimwear and accessories. Favored by Olympians and school children alike, Speedo's products are considered some of the hottest options on the athletic and fashion markets. One of their most revolutionary product lines is the Fastskin series. Along with the new addition of Fastskin II, these swimwear pieces are designed for speed and performance in any aquatic environment.

Both of these lines are designed independently for both men and women, with versatile styling in each. The Fastskin II line includes clothing that is said to hug your body like skin. Available items include the Bodyskin, which is a full bodysuit made of patented Fastskin fabric. This patented material mimics shark denticles to virtually eliminate drag. The pieces in this line even include a Turbulence Management System to give you a smoother stroke in the pool.

The Recordbreaker Kneeskin is a bodysuit that ends at the knee, and the High-Neck Body skin is made just how it sounds--to cover through the neck area. All of Speedo's Fastskin and Fastskin II products are designed with Olympic swimmer speed in mind, whether or not you're in training.

Many swimmers who wear these items find that they have more flexibility in the water and less drag as a whole. In addition to bodysuits and knee-length wear, Speedo also offers traditional swimsuits cut for both men and women in their patented Fastskin technology. The Fastskin II Jammer and Legskin are popular choices for men who want suits designed specifically for speed underwater.
