Speedo Hopes to Eradicate Improper Use of its Swimwear

We may never be able to educate those crazy European bathers (or Donny Deutsch) that Speedos are specifically designed for competitive swimmers and not 45 year old men who wish they were 25 but this new work from New York-based Syrup might help. The agency, part of LBi Group, has launched The Speedo Club, a site on which the lithe muscles and bodies of competitive swimmers are highlighted.

On the site, videos illustrate muscle movements and proper swim form. Visitors to the site can join a community and create “swim teams,” study training modules to improve their own swimming and download a mobile app that can log workouts. ANd, of course, there’s the latest styles of swimwear to be perused as well.
