Leading international swim brand Speedo is once again pioneering swimwear and apparel design, fit and technology with its new Spring / Summer 2008 Performance collection. The new range features Speedo’s Endurance chlorine resistant fabric for swimmers serious about their pool time and physical fitness.

Combining innovative design features, cutting-edge technologies, energetic graphics and fabric characteristics, the Speedo Performance collection comprises both swimwear and apparel. Each range is designed to maximise athletic efficiency, improve results and look fantastic on the wearer.

Swimwear includes powerback, leaderback and boyleg designs for women, briefs, aquashorts and jammers for men, all with bold, explosive splashes of colour and dynamic graphical motifs. The specialist Endurance fabric provides total chlorine resistance along with improved snagging resistance and a lower level of moisture absorption. The material is finer and softer to the touch, making the range ideal for longer, more serious sessions in the water.

Out of the water, the Speedo Performance apparel range suits an array of fitness needs, with a collection of warm up suits, hoodies, tees, tank tops and shorts. Each item is designed for comfort, fit and efficiency – highlights include the Male Megastar Jacket with its shimmering star graphics, the Female Fan Hoodie that’s ideal for fi tness sessions or chilling out with friends, or the cute and comfy Female Diva Short.

This unique collection of sportswear expertly combines the practicality and multi-functionality of swimwear and apparel with innovative fabrics and technologies. The striking styles, standout technologies and performance-enhancing features make the Speedo Performance range for Spring / Summer 2008 a must-wear for any serious swimmer or fitness enthusiast.
