Before we all came down with Michael Phelps fever, I told you about the Speedo LZR Racer, hailed as the world's fastest swimsuit. If you've been watching the Olympics, by now you are intimately familiar with the $550 full-body suit that all the swimmers are wearing.
If you want an LZR of your very own, you'll have to wait until October, but you can preorder one now on Speedo's website. The aquawoman one piece comes in three styles: the High Neck Bodyskin ($550), the Recordbreaker Kneeskin ($425), and Recordbreaker Bodyskin ($475). If only we could get a sassy stars and stripes version like Natalie Coughlin's.
Speedo also has a fun selection of other Team USA gear, most of which is a lot more colorful and a lot less serious. Even if you aren't a swimmer, wouldn't you love to get your butt into these USA Terry Shorts ($24)? Take a look at some of my favorite finds below.

throughout the olympics all you heard about was this suit and how even the japanese team had swimmers who chose to go against the team sponsor and get this suit. it's interesting how the technology of this makes everyone scared that if they don't have it they won't swim as well. you have to admit that there are a lot of records being broken, but that can't all be attributed to the suit.
however - - - if i were a swimmer of that caliber, i would invest the money so that i could have every advantage available to me.
1This is great, but what I want to know is where can I get one of the beach volley ball bikinis? Those things look like they stay put pretty well!
2I'm not sure if it's true, but apparently the LZR Racer takes a long time to put on, like about 2 hours...
3Love all the other stuff, but unless I were an Olympic swimmer I'd have to pass on the LZR.
