| Speedo launches LZR RACER |
 |
Speedo launches the world's fastest swim suit
which has been tested at NASA to prove it's
superiority in the pool.
The LZR ("Laser") RACER suit, tested in wind
tunnels used by NASA to test the aerodynamic
qualities of space shuttles, makes elite swimmers
5% more efficient in their oxygen intake so it is
'easier' for them to swim faster for longer .
Test performances have led experts to believe the
new suit will help swimmers shave valuable seconds
off their times, which athletes are confident will
result in more medals being won and more world
records being broken by Speedo swimmers this year.
The suit works by reducing the friction (or
'drag') that slows a swimmer down. Since the
properties of water can not be changed, the goal
is to make the swimmer's body as smooth and
streamlined as possible.
Developed over the past three years, the LZR RACER
is made from an ultra light-weight fabric that
actually repels water. It is ultrasonically
welded together to form the world's first fully
bonded suit, cutting down friction even further.
By scanning more than 400 elite athletes including
Michael Phelps (US) and Grant Hackett (Aus), the
R&D team were able to place laser-cut ultra
low-friction 'panels' specifically on those areas,
which, along with the suit's corset-like
compression, makes each individual swimmer as
hydrodynamic as they can be.
This means that each swimmer is held in the
optimum shape and position to cut through the
water in the most effective way, therefore saving
them valuable energy which they can then use to
swim faster!
In tests the new suit reduced passive drag (the
position a swimmer is in following a dive or a
turn) by 10% compared to the Speedo suit worn in
Athens in 2004. It also reduced skin friction or
'surface drag' (i.e. when the swimmer is on top of
the water), by a massive 24% compared to the
Speedo FASTSKIN (2000) and 38% more than standard
Lycra.
The results led World Record holder, Libby Lenton
(Aus), to describe the experience as being "like
swimming down hill"!
