...director, was the lightweight, water-repellent fabric and muscle contour compression. The idea behind the compression is two-fold: first of all it provides a barrier between water and skin, reducing what has come to be known as the "jiggle" effect. Second, it keeps blood flow in the body core rather than allowing it to leak to the extremities and cause fatigue...
...streamline, the position the swimmer holds coming out of the dive and off the wall. I felt like a launched torpedo, like I could push off and, without trying, glide all the way down the pool. In addition to the fabric, Speedo developed a support system called a core stabilizer, designed to combat what's known as form drag. Rick Sharp, a kinesiologist from Iowa State University, explains that when a swimmer gets tired, his mechanics start to deteriorate, and the resulting dip in the lower back significantly increases drag. The water, flowing down the back, crashes into the arch...
...little bit of scoop in the small of the back, you won't have nearly the amount of crashing of water into the top of the buttocks." So, by adding a bonded layer of elastic fabric to the inside of the suit around the abdomen and lower back, the core stabilizer compresses the hips and helps the swimmer maintain a flat, streamline position in the water...
