The innovative technology behind Speedo's Olympic swimsuits aims to enhance athlete performance at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Top swimmers like Emma McKeon from Australia, Caeleb Dressel from the United States, and Adam Peaty from Britain will be sporting this swimsuit. The particular swimsuit is seamless, partly polyurethane, and co-designed by NASA to ensure buoyancy and ample muscle support, enabling swimmers to swim faster and longer. Some believe that most swimmers will feel much faster wearing a tech suit, experiencing increased confidence and motivation, which can lead to enhanced performance.
