Water Flume Testing
Fastskin LZR Racer
Water flume testing on mannequins and swimmers was conducted by leading biomechanist, David Pease, at the University of Otago in New Zealand, widely regarded as the most accurate swimming flume in the world.
Water flume tests were used to assess the effects of passive drag in a variety of suits and total drag was determined across the range of velocities found in elite competitive swimming.
The University of Otago water flume was also involved in the measurement of swimming economy with athletes performing the full stroke.
