I thought that I was aware of all the Speedo swimsuit designs. Then, on my regular search of eBay, I came across a Speedo hooded swimsuit! Yes, you did read that right, a hooded swimsuit. As luck would have it, and plenty of bidding, I won the auction (for a reasonable amount as well) and a few days later, the swimsuit arrived. The material is similar to the endurance material – quite thick. The swimsuit has a zip that goes from under the right arm up to the front of the neck. Getting into the swimsuit is a little more difficult than a normal swimsuit and one does need to be quite flexible! Once zipped into the swimsuit, and with the hood up, it really does feel comfortable. The lower back of the swimsuit is open – I think a styling thing rather than any other reason! You can see the rest of the hooded swimsuit images in the OnePieceSwim gallery.

So, after getting such an amazing swimsuit, imagine my surprise when a Speedo long-sleeved swimsuit from the same range came up on eBay a few days later! Two very rare swimsuits so soon after each other and from different sellers! The long sleeve swimsuit has a rear zip like the normal Speedo hydrasuit, but the lower back is again open. The swimsuit is made from the same material as the hooded swimsuit. See the long sleeve swimsuit images here.
