Speedo

When it comes to swimwear and gear that needs to perform - whether in the training pool, at competitions, or for holiday use - there's one name everyone knows: Speedo.

For over 100 years, Speedo has been developing swimwear and swimming equipment for both professional elite swimmers and everyday water enthusiasts. It's no coincidence that the brand remains one of the most widespread in the world today - both because the quality is top-notch and because their products are used by some of the most successful swimmers in history. Just think of Michael Phelps, who won 8 Olympic gold medals in 2008 wearing Speedo swimwear.

At Watery.ie, you'll find the entire official range from Speedo all in one place - from their iconic competition suits and competition swim trunks, to popular goggles, swim bags, fins and much more.

Whether you're looking for something for your next competition, for training sessions at the pool, or for the summer holiday by the pool, you'll find it all here in our large selection of Speedo.

Speedo's History - How Speedo Became an Iconic Swim Brand

Speedo was founded back in 1914 by a young Scottish man named Alexander MacRae. A few decades later, in 1927, he invented the “racerback swimsuit”, which was the first swimsuit with an open back. This swimsuit inspired one of the employees to the slogan “Speed on in your Speedos”, leading to the company's new name.
In 1932, their swimwear was used for the first time in an Olympic context, and in 1936 they introduced the first pair of topless swim trunks for men.

In the decades that followed, Speedo evolved more and more into a brand that the best swimmers in the world wore at the Olympics and World Championships. This resulted in, among other things, 22 out of 23 world records in 1968 being set by swimmers wearing Speedo swimwear. This culminated in 2008, when an incredible 92% of all medals in swimming competitions at the Olympics were won by swimmers wearing Speedo LZR. This in the very popular LZR racer, which has today been replaced by The Fastskin3 racing system.

Missy Franklin, Ryan Lochte, Katie Ledecky…

Speedo is still very popular and used among the best swimmers in the world today. The entire American and Australian swimming teams swim in it at both the Olympics, World Championships, and in training. This includes the 3-time Olympic champion Missy Franklin, the Olympic champion in 400 IM Ryan Lochte, the all-dominant Katie Ledecky, who at the recently concluded World Championships became a 5-time world champion in 200, 400, 800, 1500, and 4*200 free, as the first woman in the world ever - all in Speedo competition swim trunks and Speedo competition suits. Additionally, the Chinese long-distance swimmer and double Olympic champion, Sun Yan, also swims in Speedo's excellent competition swim trunks.

Popular Speedo Series and What They're Good For

With our absurdly large selection of Speedo products, we at Watery have advised thousands of swimmers in choosing the right Speedo products.
Therefore, we also know exactly which Speedo series work best for which needs. Here you get an overview of the most popular - and what you should choose based on your level and training.

LZR Racer and Fastskin - Swimwear for Elite Swimmers and Competitions

When it comes to competition time and margins, we recommend Speedo LZR Racer and Fastskin suits.
They are designed for competitive swimming at the highest level and are used by top athletes like Katie Ledecky and Ryan Lochte.
Our own customers particularly highlight the tight fit and the noticeable improvement in water resistance.

👉 Our recommendation: Perfect for elite swimmers, competitive swimmers, and club swimmers participating in competitions.

Biofuse Goggles - Comfort and Technology for Daily Training

When we talk to recreational swimmers and triathletes, one name keeps coming up: Speedo Biofuse.
This series combines advanced technology with maximum comfort - and it makes a difference, especially during longer training sessions.
We have especially helped many choose Biofuse goggles, because they adapt to the face and don't leave marks or discomfort.

Endurance+ - Swimsuits and Swim Trunks with Maximum Durability

The Endurance+ series is the core of Speedo's most durable swimwear and is used by both children, adults, and club swimmers who train regularly.

Many of our customers swim several times a week, and here it is crucial that the swimwear retains its shape and color - even after 100+ trips in the pool.
Speedo Endurance+ is made from a special chlorine-resistant material that doesn't lose elasticity and dries quickly, even after intensive use.
It is one of the series we most often recommend to swim schools and regular training teams.

👉 Our recommendation: Ideal for children, swim school students, and you who train often and want swimwear with long durability.
