Dive into Speedo: Mastering the Art of Putting on a Fastskin Jammer

Follow this comprehensive guide to achieve the ideal fit and learn how to care for your Fastskin Jammer to make it last.

To get the best performance out of your Speedo FASTSKIN Suit, it's crucial to ensure it fits perfectly. Follow this comprehensive guide to achieve the ideal fit and learn how to care for your Fastskin Jammer to make it last.

Step 1: Measure Yourself

Before making a purchase, accurately measure yourself using a measuring tape. The hip measurement is the most important, so start there by measuring in line with your hip bone. For your waist size, measure around the waistline, approximately 6cm below your belly button. You can find a size chart at the end of this article, or visit a local Speedo store for personalised fitting. Get fitted, get fast.

Step 2: Embrace the Compression

The Speedo Fastskin Jammer is designed with targeted high compression areas to enhance performance. It may take some time to put on compared to your current racing suit, approximately 10 minutes on your first attempt. Embrace the process, as the compression is crucial for maximising your speed.

Step 3: Step In and Pull Up

Start by stepping into the suit one leg at a time, pulling it up to your knees. To make it easier, flip up the leg grippers. You'll immediately feel the high compression as soon as you put it on.

Step 4: Gradual and Gentle

Work the leg fabric slowly and evenly, using your fingertips instead of your nails. Progressively pull the suit up, maintaining a gentle and even motion. Hold onto the seams rather than the fabric pieces to prevent any damage.

Step 5: Positioning Matters

Once the suit is over your hips, begin pulling it up into position. Continue to work it up gradually while paying attention to its alignment. Ensure a close fit to the skin without any air pockets or loose fabric. The suit should fit snugly around the edges to prevent water entry.

Step 6: Secure the Leg Grippers

Flip the leg grippers back down into their original position. This final step will ensure your suit is race-ready.

Step 7: Assess the Fit

Take a moment to check that the suit offers a compressive feel while allowing full movement without any restrictions. Verify there are no loose fabric areas and that the suit maintains a tight appearance. This will ensure optimal hydrodynamics.

Caring for your FASTSKIN Suit:

• Rinse in Fresh Water: After each use, rinse your suit thoroughly in fresh water. Chlorine can damage the fabric over time, so removing any residual chemicals is essential.
• Flatten and Store: Flatten out your suit after rinsing to help it maintain its shape. This will also prevent any creases forming.
• Hand Wash: To preserve your suit's integrity, hand wash it using mild detergent.
• Dry Properly: Never leave your suit wet in a bag. Instead, dry it as soon as possible in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat sources.
• Avoid High Heat: Keep your Fastskin Suit away from high heat, especially from irons or dryers. Excessive heat can damage the fabric and affect its performance.

By following these steps, you can achieve the perfect fit for your Speedo Fastskin Race Suit while ensuring its longevity. Remember, a well-maintained suit will continue to support you in your quest for speed and performance in the water.
