Speedo Fastskins

Fast Skins are high-performance swim suits have been developed following years of tests and studies which showed that sharks were able to swim though the water with about 10% less energy expenditure than a fish with a perfectly smooth skin.  As result, leading manufacturers like Speedo, have designed and developed swimsuits manufactured from artificial sharkskin, aptly names ‘Fast skins’. The ‘flexskin’ fabric designed by Speedo offers a greater range of motion for the upper body and, as the surface is so smooth, it reduces drag in the water along with greater flexibility of movement.
