SPEEDO LZR Info:

The Speedo LZR Racer has 10% less passive drag than speedo's Fastskin FSII launched in 2004 and 5% less pasive drag than Fastskin Fs-Pro (which has already resulted in 21 world records broken since its launch in March 2007).

Strategically placed LZR panels reduce skin friction drag by a massive 24% in comparison to Speedo's previous market-leading fabric, FASTSKIN.

The 100% bonded seams provide 6% less skin friction drag than a conventiionally stitched suit.

The speedo LZR Racer makes it easier to swim faster. In tests comparing LZR Racer and training swimwear, swimmers have up to 5% more economy in terms of their oxygen intake - thereby requiring less effort for a given speed of swimming.

Speedo has harnessed the expertise of NASA and a number of international research institutes to create a faster suit which has 10% less passive drag than speedo's Fastskin FSII launched in 2004 and 5% less passive drag than speedo's Fastskin FS-PRO which was launched in march 2007 and has seen many world records as a result.

"when I hit the water, I feel like a rocket," said Michael Phelps, holder of six world records, "I can't wait to race in it - this is going to take the sport of swimming to a new level."
