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.
The Speedo Fastskin3 is the latest and most advanced technical racing suit on the market. Featuring bonded seams and 3D Zoned Compression, IQ Fit, Body Stability Web and Fit Point Markers to deliver a new level of hydrodynamic performance – reinforced by a design that tells other athletes they-re racing for second place.
The new Speedo Fastskin 3 suits are fitting small and super tight so you might need to size up a little. Also be sure to checkout the great racing suits from Arena, like the Arena Powerskin R-EVO+ kneesuit and the Arena Powerskin R-EVO+ Jammer racing swimsuit. These have been getting great reviews and we belive these are as fast or faster than anything else that is currently available.
Speedo racing swimsuit trends dictate what other brands will turn out each season. The 2012 Olympics means plenty of new trends for competitive racing
Speedo Racing Swimsuit
swimsuits. Olympic swimmers know that fit matters most when it comes to finding the right swimsuit for a major competition. Finding the right fit means designating certain suits for different purposes.
1. Find the right fit for practice means looser fits. Relaxed and slightly loose swimwear is comfortable for practice. Speedo has special elastic in their swimsuits to prevent constriction, even with a more fitted swimsuit. The leg openings on a practice swimsuit should be slightly roomy, but still sit flush to the skin. Not every swimmer wants them as tight as the leg openings on competitive swimwear. For the 2012 Olympics and any major competitive swim meet, you’ll notice tight leg openings and nylon fabrics for swimwear.
2. Olympic swimmers are picky about their fabrics for swimsuits. You’ll notice many aerodynamic suits at the 2012 Olympics and for good reason. These thin, fitted suits sit like a second skin on a swimmer’s body, making it easy to swim fast and move freely under water. Olympic swimmers know that a suit’s fit and fabric can help or hinder their performance. One popular trend is for Olympic swimmers to wear full body suits. These are often more expensive than other swimsuits, but are well worth the money since they are ideal for competitive swimming. Innovative fabrics and techniques are implemented for these full body suits. Full body suits should be very snug, but never too tight or cut off circulation. These full body suits may not affect your performance while practicing, but the aerodynamic fabric will potentially help shave seconds off competitive meets.
3. Be careful with swimsuit straps. The vast majority of swimsuits do not have straps. Swimsuit straps slow down competitive swimmers, so straps are usually an extension of the torso portion of the suit. Competitive swimmers don’t need tie-style straps holding them down. Make sure armholes are wide enough to be comfortable, but never with excess or puckering fabric in any area.
4. Be sure there’s adequate coverage in the back. Like with armholes, there shouldn’t be any tugging or puckering in the bottom area for women or men. If the style doesn’t seem to work with your shape, try a different style versus changing sizes in the exact same suit. You’ll notice that Olympic swimmers wear different styles of swimsuits and this is because they choose what works for their bodies while staying within the competition’s swimwear guidelines.
