SSPC: Why is the Speedo Fastskin Based on Shark Skin?

Speedo International's Head of Research and Development (R&D), Rob Blenkinsopp, gets granular about Speedo tech.  It has been 20 years since Speedo released their FASTSKIN TECH, and, really, that development started back in 1992. Rob walks us through the years, explaining why and what Speedo cooks up in their R&D department.  Rob's not thinking about 2021. He's done that. The work is already over. His sights are set on 2024 to 2028, and Rob dreams of the suit Speedo will release in the distant future, 2040. Hopefully Rob will share more on that this spring ahead of SwimSwam's endless coverage of Olympic Trials competitions all over the world.  Stay tuned, and I hope you enjoy the pod. Rob will be back!
