Spotlight: Nike Hydra Technical Suits
SLEEK DESIGN: Visually uncomplicated to allow the maximum focus on the swimmer's performance.
NIKE NO SEW: Leg openings use a bonded elastic fabric that lies smoothly against the skin to minimize drag and maximize comfort.
SEAM ALIGNMENTS: Wherever possible, seams are aligned with the fluid flow to minimize drag.
HIGH NECK: The high placement of the neckline on women's styles helps to eliminate water entry which can create drag.
FAST FABRICS: Fabrics scored high marks in drag reduction, water repellency, stretch recovery, compression, strength and durability.
