Because of the technical swimsuit controversy in pool swimming, we thought it would be interesting to see what technical swimsuits were worn by the open water swimmers at the 2009 World Swimming Championships.We noted the swimsuits of all the swimmers in the 5K and 10K races.
Before the start of each race, the swimmers walked approximately 100 meters from the call room to the water's edge.
This gave us plenty of time to correctly identify and count the swimsuits worn by the open water swimmers. If there was any doubt as to what manufacturer made a swimsuit, we did not count in any manufacturer's total. The results of two races are listed below:
The participants in the women's 5K race wore the following:
16 swimmers wore blueseventy
16 swimmers wore Arena
8 swimmers wore Speedo
2 swimmers wore swimsuits that could not be identified
1 swimmer wore TYR
1 swimmer wore Diana
The participants in the men's 10K race wore the following:
16 swimmers wore blueseventy
9 swimmers wore Speedo
9 swimmers wore swimsuits that could not be identified
6 swimmers wore Arena
5 swimmers wore TYR
2 swimmers wore Jaked
1 swimmer wore Adidas
