Click here to view the Speedo Fastskin 3 size chart This fantastic womens racing kneeskin from the new Speedo Fastskin 3 range of swimwear offers a new benchmark for racing. Athlete understanding has been combined with advanced swimwear technology to create Fastskin 3 in which swimming cap, swim goggles and suit are engineered to work together to give optimum performance for competitive swimming. The Super Elite Open Back Kneeskin is ideal for top class swimmers and compresses your body in specific areas to create an overall tube shape which will make you more streamlined in the water (ie. on the thighs but less at the waist). For best results buy suit, goggle, hair management cap and swim cap together, although each piece on its own will reduce water drag.
Choosing the right size is very important. Measure yourself and use the size chart above to work out the right size for you. Choosing a smaller size than you are will not improve your performance and may well damage the suit. Fitting gloves are provided to help with fitting and prevent snagging of the fabric.
