Description

TYR developed the AP 12 for competitive swimmers who constantly seek superior performance in swim wear. Proof of TYR’s commitment to utilizing the research and technology at its disposal and delivering the best was demonstrated in the recent London Olympics when Matt Grevers, broke the Olympic record in the backstroke competition, bringing home the much coveted gold medal for the USA. The TYR AP12 Compression Speed High Short features its own innovative proprietary technology such as the Turbo Woven Compression fabric, which is lightweight and highly hydrophobic. It also features other proprietary innovations that work together to provide the superior swimsuit that you are looking for. TYR sponsors some of the best names in elite level swimming and triathlon, and is an active sponsor in many swimming events from club to elite level, as well as in triathlon events.

The water-repellent microfilaments that make up the fabric resists water absorption, ensuring that the short is not weighed down by absorbed water, ensuring the fabric stays lightweight and hydrodynamic. The compressive fit provides superior 360 degree core stabilization that contributes to providing superior speed. The anatomically superior fit and efficient three-panel construction also guarantees superior compression to reduce or eliminate muscle vibration and oscillation, improving muscle efficiency to generate more power, without wasting energy as well as improving recovery and showcasing superior hydrodynamics.

The stitches on the TYR AP12 Compression Speed High Short is constructed with a unique seam stitching, and together with its technologically advanced design ensures that optimum body position is achieved. Certain strategic segments of the AP 12 also use a smooth bonded finish to minimize seams where it matters and decrease resistance significantly in the water. The AP 12 combines bonded seams on the interior and four-way lock seams on the external panels to present an extremely low profile in the water, effectively reducing drag and improving speed significantly

The TYR AP12 Compression Speed High Short comes with a manufacturers standard retail price of $259.99. The TYR AP12 Compression Speed High Short’s full potential as an elite swimwear can be realized when combined with proper training and technique. Although the AP 12 can also be used as an effective training short, this will significantly reduce its lifespan, as its construction, fabrics, and design is mainly for competition and racing. Using the AP 12 for training will increase wear and tear as well as increase chlorine exposure, which will hasten the degradation of the fabrics. We highly suggest that you use a short for training, and another short for racing. This is a better way of protecting your investment.
