TYR Tracer Competition Swim Suites

Posted on April 17, 2010 by Head Coach

Tracer™ Light

Zoned muscle compression and hydrophobic coating work simultaneously to produce a swimsuit technology already proven to perform with multiple National, NCAA, and World Champions. 

Compressing large muscle groups aids in the reduction of muscle fatigue and strain. The consistent, even firmness supports muscles efficiently without reducing movement so no energy in motion is wasted.

The Four-Way Lock Seams follow the contours of the human musculature and compress the major muscle groups which improving blood circulation.  Efficient energy transfer, reduction in muscle undulation, and an improved streamline are all results of Tracer Light technical advancements

Tracer™ B-Series

No sewing or threads means greater drag reduction and a smooth, flawless finish. Each connecting seam is fused using HB (high-bond) micro-tape to weld fabric together ultrasonically.

Following the natural contours of the human body, the Tracer B-Series design leads the industry with an exclusive muscle-mapping pattern.  Creating the most form-fitting suit fused throughout with ultra-sonic bonds, there is no sewing of parts to make a single suit.  Athletes now have a smooth, flawless and seemingly continuously technology that is comprised of five pieces.  Minimized seams, ultra-light bonding, and no stitching allows for an incredibly light yet functionally fitting technology

 

Tracer™ C-Series

Compressing large muscle groups aids in the reduction of muscle fatigue and strain. The consistent, even firmness supports muscles efficiently without reducing movement so no energy in motion is wasted.

The compression suit acts as a second, firmer skin, molding to the contours of the body, improving blood circulation. The subtle rise in muscle temperature allows the body to meet its optimal performance level and then maintain it the entire race. Reducing undulation increases efficient oxygen transfer throughout the circulatory system.  A rise in oxygenation will keep muscles from fatiguing quickly and promotes muscle flexion and extension. The end result is faster swimming with lower energy depletion

Hydrophobic Materials

Prior to construction, all microfiber woven material is dual-coated with the highest level of water repellency. Without sacrificing stretch, memory or performance, the Tracer High-Performance Line will continue to wick water away for the life of the suit.

Strong & Lightweight

Tracer Technology is constructed from the strongest microfiber available and establishes a significant progression in chlorine resistance. This includes enhanced stretch properties and memory retention. Specifically developed to bond with the hydrophobic dual-coating for eliminating water absorption, drag, and remain lightweight race after race.

A True Performance Fit

Major muscle groups in both the male and female body are precisely targeted with compression panels to streamline the body and control muscle undulation. Reducing form undulation allows muscles to perform more efficiently propelling a swimmer to their maximum potential.

Streamlined Compression

Engineered compression in each panel traces the musculature of the body optimizing athletic potential. The benefits of drag reduction and body mass containment, while maximizing athletic performance and muscular torque and flexion, have never been greater.

A Customized Approach to Performance Suits

Validated through rigorous active drag testing protocols with sports scientists, Olympic athletes and coaches, and perfected in real competition, the Tracer High-Performance Line of technical suits offer swimmers a real choice in precision enhancement.

Tracer Light, Tracer B-Series, and Tracer C-Series all present unique performance benefits to the athlete. With three technological options in multiple FINA-approved body styles, each is designed to meet the various needs of the individual athlete – be it stroke, distance, body type, or ability. The line-up of suits allows for a customized approach to performance.

The Tracer High-Performance Line of products has been the most successful technical suit grouping ever offered by TYR. Records, Olympic medals, and championships already captured in a Tracer suit validate the superior design, and now with customizable options for everyone, the line will continue to expand the potential for every athlete’s success.
