Neither especially light nor heavy, it seemed fastest during the 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.
