World #1 Alys Thomas’ Preparation for European Champs

World #1 Alys Thomas’ Preparation for European Champs

Alys Thomas has sat proudly at the top of the 200m butterfly FINA world rankings since that stunning 2:05.45 gold medal winning swim at Australia’s Commonwealth Games in April. She’s now got a busy schedule at the Glasgow 2018 European Swimming Championships, but Sunday’s 200 fly is the focus for the 27 year-old Swansea, Wales based swimmer.  Her swim on the Gold Coast was a breakthrough international medal that took years of patience and perseverance, including overcoming injures that have forced her to practice underwater skills relentlessly while arm injuries prevented her from swimming on the surface. We caught up...

Maximizing the r10: Fit

The r10 is unlike any suit you have ever worn before. We've used unique, specially developed fabrics, combined with ground-breaking technology to design our fastest and most compressive suit ever.  The r10 fitting is different to any suit before it and it's essential to get the fit right for maximum benefit.

r10 Design and Testing

r10 Design and Testing

When we started making competition pool suits in 2008, we didn’t set out to make another race suit. We wanted to apply our expertise in technical product design to build a race suit that was uniquely different and performed exceptionally well. Just like the nero comp rocked the world by introducing completely new fabrics to the pool, the all-new r10 competition suits follow in that tradition. It is built with some of the most advanced and compressive fabrics available, and introduces the double layering of fabrics that has not previously been legal for competition swimming.   Data collecting at UCCS The...

r10 Double-Layered Compression

r10 Double-Layered Compression

In 2013 our product development team laid down goals for a new tech suit: it needed to be built with exclusive fabrics, it should have a distinctive look, feature an improved fit and of course, be fast. Faster then anything we’ve made before. Over the next couple years, we tested dozens of fabrics and different fits, but the project didn’t really come to life until 2015 when we came up with the unique copper infused fabric and clarified with FINA that we could increase the amount of the suit that could be double layered. Back in 2009 swimmers wore two...
