New- Coat Number 15 - High Speed Swimmer
For the swimmer, this means the body effectively becomes slicker than the water itself. The "High Speed" moniker isn't just marketing fluff; it is a promise of reduced passive drag. During the glide phase of a race—off the block or off the wall—wearers of COAT NUMBER 15 have reported longer carry-over distances, maintaining momentum where other suits might begin to stall.
Traditional swim skins focus on smoothness. However, nature taught us a different lesson via the shark. Shark skin isn't smooth; it features microscopic denticles that create turbulence, reducing suction. New- COAT NUMBER 15 - High Speed Swimmer
To reach these high speeds, athletes are turning to a new generation of "coats"—advanced tech suits designed with aerospace materials. For the swimmer, this means the body effectively
Military and research AUVs operating at 15–25 knots (e.g., torpedo-shaped gliders) can extend range by up to 40% without increasing battery mass. Traditional swim skins focus on smoothness
Chlorine is the enemy of most coatings. Within three swims, hydrophobic sprays turn into sticky, slow goosebumps. COAT NUMBER 15 is cross-linked with UV and chlorine inhibitors. Testers reported consistent speed metrics even after in chlorinated water.
