About Speedo
In 1914, Speedo was founded in Australia by Alexander MacRae, a 22-year-old Scottish immigrant who arrived in the country in 1910. The company began when MacRae Hosiery manufacturers, established by Alexander in 1914, extended the manufacture of underwear to swimwear and became MacRae Knitting Mills. A naming competition was held by the staff in 1928 and won by a Captain Parsonson, who coined the slogan, "Speed on in your Speedos." In 1929, the first swimsuits were in production and it didn’t take long for Speedo to successfully establish itself. World War II caused the brand turn over 90% of it’s manufacturing to war production, providing the armed services with vital equipment such as mosquito nets. After the war, Speedo opened a new factory and was able to re-establish itself, due to increased demand for swimsuits. In 1951, Speedo Knitting Mills (Holdings) Ltd, was incorporated and became a publicly traded company on the Sydney Stock exchange.
Speedo hit the international stage in earnest, at the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games, and a few years later the brand grew on a more global scale. Export sales to the USA began and an international division was set up to monitor trade in New Zealand, Japan and South Africa. The expansion of the brand continued, and in 1976, Speedo was appointed as the official swimwear for the 1976 Montreal Olympics, where 52 out of 54 countries wore their swimsuits.
Speedo continues to make its mark in the pool and on the beach today. Many world class athletes who wear Speedo include U.S. phenomenon Michael Phelps, legendary Australian swimmer Grant Hackett, world record holder Kosuke Kitajima from Japan, and Holland’s Inge de Bruijn.

| 13 of 14 people found the following review helpful  Fantastic Swim Bag, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Speedo Performance Pro Backpack (Sports) I bought 2 of these backpacks. One for each of my daughters. They love these swim bags! My daughters are 8 and 10 and can fill these backpacks up and still comfortably handle the packs due to great design and padded back and straps. They can put 3 towels, change of clothes, cap, googles and snacks for meets. A typical practice includes their boots, winter coat, clothes, towel, suit, water bottle, cap and googles. They LOVE these packs and I love the quality! 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful Been looking for awhile, this fits more than i expected!, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Speedo Performance Pro Backpack (Sports) I workout and shower at my fitness club 3-5x a week, all season long. I needed something big enough for two towels, shoes/boots, toiletries, hairdryer, dry clothes, wet clothes, phone, ipod, wallet, food, drink, etc. I had been hunting for a long time! this bag is absolutely perfect. it has multiple compartments, inside and out, some with mesh, some with solid closures, and most have different size pouches for different purposes. the shoulder straps are wide and very comfortable. most of the zipper enclosures have two zips so you can pull from either end, based on what side you're facing the backpack. the pink is bright and happy too! i highly recommend this bag. for $43, you really can't beat the size, quality and functionality of this bag. 7 of 8 people found the following review helpful  Awesome Bag, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Speedo Performance Pro Backpack (Sports) This bag is huge. I am a rather large man, and I can fit my swim trunks, beach-sized towel, workout clothes, and my shower items in the interior pockets. Once I'm done with my workout, the "wet pocket" can hold my trunks and towel and I still have enough room in the other pockets to fit my dry workout clothes and my hygiene items. The straps on the outside are very sturdy and actually adjust large enought fit my shoulders comfortably.I was pleased with the number of smaller outter pockets, but a couple of them are just too small. The other thing I was disapointed in is that the acutal color of the bag (red) isn't as dark a red as displayed on the computer. |
