Michael Phelps Wearing Speedo Speed Socket Goggles at Mesa Grand Prix

ImageMichael Phelps returned to the pool for the first time in two years at the Arena Grand Prix in Mesa, Arizona, yesterday. While he led all competitors in the preliminary heats of the 100-meter butterfly, Ryan Lochte was able to edge the legendary swimmer in the finals. Michael tweeted that his time is right where he wants it to be. So what do you think will he still be kind of the blocks in two years for the 2016 Rio Olympics? 

Michael Phelps is still wearing Speedo and his all-time favorite swim goggles of choice the Speedo Speed Socket Polarized Goggle with it’s superior optics and polarized lenses. A very good choice for the sunny outdoor swimming conditions at the Arizona Mesa Grand Prix swim meet. Michael Phelps confirmed his intent to swim butterfly during the 50 freestyle prelims on today.

Wood Spineboard or Plastic Spineboard for Lifeguarding

Wood Spineboard or Plastic Spineboard for Lifeguarding

Lifeguard spineboards are typically made of wood or plastic. Over the past 20 years there has been a strong shift away from wood boards. The wooden lifeguard spine boards require more maintenance due to cracking and warping. This leads to an increased risk of harboring bacteria. While they are easy to sink in the swimming pool wood spine boards are also heavier than plastic backboards. The wood boards are also typically more expensive.

Lifeguard SpineboardWhy do people still want to use wood lifeguard spine boards? Most people just don’t understand all of the upsides to the newer plastic spineboards and they also have only ever used wood boards.

You should buy a plastic spine board for several reasons. First they are seamless and sealed to prevent fluids from entering the board. This is a very important fact that wood spineboard buyers often overlook and forget that they are in the business of saving and helping others. You should never endanger your patient with a wood spineboard that may be contaminated with past body fluids or bacteria. Plastic life guard spineboards are also great since they are lightweight and 100% x-ray translucent. They are light enough for even small lifeguard to quickly move the boards and buoyant so that they do not sink to the bottom of the pool. If the safety of your patient and the durability of the plastic boards is not enough then the lower price for plastic might be enough to convince you that plastic (at least in this case) is better than paper (wood backboards).

Ok so which plastic spineboard should I buy for my lifeguards? If price is a factor then I would suggest a good entry-mid level Lifeguard Backboard. If you are dead set on a wood spineboard but agree that safety is extremely important than check out one of the best lifeguard backboards on the market the E.G. Spine Board. This board is the strongest spineboard on the market and can out perform any wooden board, plus it is easy to clean.

to deliver Intelligent muscle compression, combined with unprecedented fit. Compression in a competition suit is associated with increased support, efficiency and power, but high compression can have a restricting effect on movement. The swimmer in motion is also a dynamic form with complex requirements for support and compression. How can you get more of the benefits of compression, without its drawbacks? Squeezing the swimmer harder will not help! To deliver a breakthrough solution to the compression challenge, arena has incorporated carbon fibre into the weave of the Arena Carbon Pro fabric. Known for its unique structural and mechanical properties, the carbon fibre locks down when and where a critical stretch level is reached, while retaining the suits elasticity. This delivers a ramp-up in compression on those specific overextended zones, increasing support and control where and when they are needed without detracting from the swimmers mobility.

Speedo Fastskin3 Elite Suits Shipping Today

Speedo Fastskin3 Elite Suits Shipping Today

D&J Sports Swim Shop has a large number of Speedo Fastskin3 Elite Jammers and Speedo Fastskin3 Elite Kneeskin. The Fastskin 3 Elite is replacing the LZR Elite and is an excellent suit. We have seen it smash records already and the feedback has been positive for this suit.

We have heard of some issues with the Speedo Fastskin3 Super Elite suits tearing etc. but so far most of those appear to be due to miss sizing issues. Not sure how to size the new Speedo Fastskin 3 Super Elite Suits? We are starting to see that you DO NOT need to size down like you did for the LZR Pro and LZR Elite racing suits. Instead the suits are already small and tight so sizing down only creates issues. Other issues with the too small Speedo Fastskin 3 Super Elite swimsuits are with the grippers on the legs. When you size down your circulation may be reduced and thus the suit may work against you. So then the question is should you buy a Speedo Fastskin3 Super Elite? Yes it is an extremely fast suit but you must try it on and make sure you purchase the correct size and if you purchase the Speedo Fastskin 3 Elite suit then you must size it correctly. We know the Speedo FS3 Elite suit is a solid suit and the Super Elite is also a great option when you fit it correctly.
