Speedo's 'game changing' swimsuit has 'Shark Skin' boosters to help you swim faster
As long as you don’t mind looking like you’re off to a Marvel-themed fancy dress party, this could be the future of swimming. Speedo has revealed a futuristic new swimsuit, which is packed with tech designed to help you glide through the water like a hot knife through butter. Dubbed Fastskin 4.0, this clever clothing includes a built-in AI Live Coach who will let you know how well you are performing and offer advice on the technique of your breaststroke or front crawl.
To help cut down on weight, and the need for batteries, the smart coach is driven by Energy Harvesting Fabric which converts the user’s motion into power. Speedo says that its Fastskin 4.0 suit will be customised to perfectly fit the person wearing it and don’t panic about embarrassing yourself as you try get your body inside the fabric.
An Adaptive Smart Lock Seal helps you easily slip the suit on and off.
Once in the water, the suit features Shark Skin 4.0 Boosters with the design and texture responding to how the swimmer moves in the water before adapting its structure to direct water off the suits and maximise propulsion from every stroke and kick.
