Aqua Sphere is yet again delivering frontline innovation with the introduction of Energize, a collection of swimwear designed to allow competitors to reap the benefits of compression wear during a race, as well as in training, resulting in a faster swim.

Comprising three models - a training suit, speedsuit and tri-suit - the range works by providing targeted muscle support, enhancing circulation to active muscles and reducing muscle fatigue, thereby boosting an athlete’s power, speed and stamina.

Targeted compression of various muscle groups reduces lactic acid build up, helping athletes to recover faster.

“This is the first line of swimwear that utilises advanced compression technology,” says Martin Newton, sales and marketing manager at Aqua Sphere UK.

“Typically, water causes materials to lose compression, but we’ve developed a brand-new fabric that maintains its compression properties when wet.

“Using Aqua Sphere’s exclusive Dynamix fabric, specifically engineered with a hydrophobic surface coating and elastic fibres to support and compress muscles, Energize suits flatten the body using a strategic panel construction that targets specific muscle groups, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, hips, waist and abdominal muscles.

“The result is reduced oscillation during swimming, resulting in a faster swim and improved bike and run performance during the remainder of a triathlon."

Ideal for triathlon training as well as competitive swimming events, the FINA approved Energize Training Suit enhances active recovery by protecting core muscles and is ideal for swims following long runs or bike rides.

The Energize SpeedSuit, approved by WTC (the American triathlon governing body), is designed to be worn over a tri-suit for non-wetsuit races, helping to save energy by compressing the core muscles during the swim leg of a triathlon.

Providing a streamlined fit that reduces drag, the SpeedSuit incorporates side panels that work in conjunction with the Dynamix compression textile to reduce muscle vibrations, keeping them fresh for the bike and run.

Finally, the Energize TriSuit is ideal for sprint and Olympic distance triathlons and is designed to be worn throughout an entire race.

Delivering a healthy margin, the range is available to pre-order now for February 1 retail.
