First the good news! During my regular browsing session of the Speedo website, I was excited to see a new zip back one piece swimsuit! Speedo have finally brought the waterpolo swimsuit to the UK although just in black at the moment and not in the various patterns that were available in the US at one point.
The Speedo Waterpolo swimsuit has a zip back and medium leg. The neck line is similar to the classic hydrasuit but not quite as high. The material of the swimsuit appears hard wearing than the hydrasuit and has a slippery finish to it to make it more difficult for opponents to grab you when playing waterpolo.
I haven’t added the suit to my collection quite yet, but it will certainly make an appearance soon!
Now for the bad news…
Back in February I blogged about the increased range of colours for the classic hydrasuit swimsuit from Speedo. At the same time I found the waterpolo suit, I noticed that the hydrasuit was no longer on the site, not even just in black. Come on Speedo, bring it back!! Please!!
Whilst browsing eBay, I came across zip-back Speedo swimsuit of a style that I haven’t seen before. The style looks generally like it may have come from the sculpture range that Speedo did. The material is the endurance type and the swimsuit is black with a lilac trim. A shame it was only available in size 32 – might have bought it otherwise, but I have a general rule not to only buy swimsuits of the right size!
Welcome to the first ‘Swimsuit Watch’ post! Swimsuit Watch is a new little feature I am trying where if a new design of hydrasuit or other recommended swimsuit is found, I post it here!
