Swimsuit for competition

Swimsuit for competition

1. Development of swimsuits

   • Reduction of friction swimsuit- water
     • Stretchable fabrics with smooth and wáter repellent external Surface texture
   • Hoop- compression of muscular structure in legs and body trunk
     • Swimsuits made of stretchable garment material with high coefficient of elasticity
       • Radial compression of the swimmer´s body trunk and legs
         • Better muscle alignment and reduces muscle vibration
           • Disadvantages
             • Strong compression obstruct or hinder torso and legs to flex and move naturally
       • Support the body position and posture in the wáter: reduce fatigue (long distance events)

2. Outer Shell to cover at least part of the body trunk and of the thighs

   • Flexible stretchable fabric
     • outer Shell forms a tubular trunk portion to cover lower región of the torso and 2 tubular thigh portions cover upper región of each thigh

3. tension lines lift back of the legs while swimmer is horizontal

   • keep legs high to avoid upper legs lowering
   • store and release kinetic energy when turning and accelerating off the wall
