Full-Body Swimsuit

Full-Body Swimsuit
High-tech swimsuits covering the swimmer’s entire body were developed for competition in the late 1990s. The suits are designed to reduce drag and friction in the water, improving the swimmer’s performance. The cutting-edge swimwear made its Olympic debut at the 2000 Summer Games in Sydney, Australia.
