The Speedo Open Water collection has officially landed, and it’s not here to lounge poolside. Instead, it dives headfirst into the world of outdoor adventure, kitting out explorers with a no-nonsense range of swimwear and gear designed to go the distance—whether that means slicing through chilly lakes, free-diving off a rocky coast, or chasing the horizon on a paddleboard.
Crafted for those who treat nature as their playground, the Speedo Open Water collection ditches the deckchair in favour of functionality, performance, and environmental responsibility. This isn’t leisurewear for show. It’s gear for those who get their kicks from wild swims, misty hikes, and dawn surf sessions.
Leading the charge is the Biofuse 2.0 Mask, building on the success of Speedo’s top-selling fitness goggles. Offering a wide field of vision with a sleek, expansive mask lens, it combines anti-fog clarity with 100% UV protection. The easy push-button adjuster ensures a snug, comfortable fit without fiddling.
Alongside it, the Hydrosity Mask brings extra comfort via a wide gasket skirt and a one-touch custom fit design, with its one-piece lens providing uninterrupted underwater views—perfect for snorkelling, surfing or chasing fish just for the thrill of it.
For land-to-water versatility, Speedo’s Lookout Short does the heavy lifting. Designed to flex with your every move, whether you’re tackling a trail run or plunging into open water, it’s fitted with a compression liner and built for muscle support, mobility, and quick-dry performance. There’s no faffing about—just kit that works as hard as you do.
The women’s line is equally robust and refreshingly flattering. Speedo’s Colourblock one-piece swimsuits—available in both zip-back and front-zip styles—feature waterproof bonded zippers, conservative or contemporary leg cuts, and tonal panels that add a sleek, athletic aesthetic. Whether you’re paddleboarding or posing for a windswept selfie, you’ll feel as sharp as you look.
Cold-water warriors will appreciate the Sleeveless Thermal Swimsuit, a two-tone, racerback number that marries style with practicality. Designed with flatlock seams and maximum shoulder mobility, it helps maintain core warmth without restricting movement—ideal for serious sessions in brisk British waters or breezy coastal mornings.
But the most impressive development may be the shift to sustainability. Select pieces in the Speedo Open Water collection now feature Ocean Flex fabric, crafted from 100% recycled materials. Using 80% regen™ Ocean Nylon and 20% regen™ Spandex, this fabric isn’t just kinder to the planet—it’s made for the kind of athlete who respects the elements they train in.
And then there’s the DMC Super Fin—a godsend for water lovers who want comfort without compromise. Created using DMC’s exclusive SILFORM silicone, it reduces fatigue and enhances propulsion with a soft, flexible design. Light enough to pack, tough enough to last.
Steph O’Neill, Speedo’s VP Brand Marketing, summed it up swimmingly: “Speedo is passionate about life in and around the water, and our Open Water collection embodies the spirit of people aspiring to uncover the unknown and create everlasting memories.
Each item in the range supports people with a zest for life, whether exploring on land or out in the open water.”
