The Velskin series sits in the Transitional High-Performance Racing Level within TAUPOC’s swimwear system.
It is designed to bridge the gap between training swimwear and elite competition racing suits, helping swimmers gradually adapt to professional-level compression and hydrodynamic performance.
Swimwear Level System
To understand Velskin’s position clearly, here is the full progression:
Training Swimwear → R-SKIN (Entry-Level Racing) → Velskin (Transitional High-Performance) → Elite Racing Suits
Where Velskin Stands
Velskin is not basic training gear, and it is not an ultra-compressive elite suit used only for top international finals.
Instead, it belongs to a “performance transition level”, meaning:
- Higher performance than entry-level racing suits
- More durable and wearable than elite race-only suits
- Balanced for both training and competition use
- Designed for adaptation into high-level racing conditions
Key Characteristics of Velskin Level
At this level, swimwear is defined by three main attributes:
1. Transitional Compression
Velskin provides mid-to-high compression, helping swimmers adapt to race-like muscle support without extreme restriction.
2. Training + Competition Dual Use
Unlike elite suits that are often fragile or race-only, Velskin is designed for frequent use, including training sessions and regular competitions.
3. Performance Adaptation System
The goal is not just speed, but adaptation:
It trains the body to feel comfortable under race conditions before stepping into elite suits.
Who This Level Is For
Velskin is ideal for:
- Competitive youth swimmers
- Club and school athletes moving up in performance
- Swimmers upgrading from entry-level racing suits
- Athletes preparing for elite-level competition suits
Simple Positioning Summary
Velskin = The bridge between training and elite racing.
It is where swimmers start to feel real competition-level speed, without the limitations of extreme race-only suits.
