Speedo Womens Fastskin LZR Pure Intent 2.0 Openback Kneeskin - Noble Navy/Jelly/Hyper Yellow

Yes. The Speedo Fastskin LZR Pure Intent 2 Kneesuit is fully approved by World Aquatics (WA) and is legal for use in all sanctioned competitive swimming events, including club, county, national, and international competitions. Always check with your event organiser for any additional local or federation rules.

The Speedo Fastskin LZR Pure Intent 2 Kneesuit is available in both Closed Back and Open Back styles. The Closed Back offers greater upper body compression and is preferred by swimmers who want additional core and back support. The Open Back offers more freedom of movement across the shoulders and is popular with backstroke and butterfly swimmers. Size 18 is only available in Open Back.

Both suits share the same sizing and are part of Speedo's Fastskin LZR range. The LZR Pure Intent 2 is Speedo's flagship sprint kneesuit, featuring maximum compression, triple fabric construction with bonded ergonomic seams, textured fabric zones for drag reduction, and Comfortable Precision Straps for a secure shoulder fit. The LZR Pure Valor 2 offers moderate compression with 6x more lasting water repellency, making it better suited to distance swimmers and multi-eventers.

We recommend selecting your size based on your body measurements — using your hip measurement as the primary guide. Speak to a member of staff at Allens if you are unsure.

The Body Loop is measured by running a soft tape measure over one shoulder, down the front of your body, under your crotch, and back up to the same shoulder. This measurement determines the torso length of the suit and is the most important measurement for a kneesuit, as it determines whether the suit will sit comfortably on your shoulders without pulling on the Comfortable Precision Straps.

Speedo Fastskin kneesuits are sized by body measurements, not standard clothing sizes. Always use the body loop, hip, chest, and waist measurements from the table above rather than your usual dress or swimwear size. The Pure Intent 2 is Speedo's highest compression kneesuit and will feel considerably tighter than a training swimsuit — this is correct and a deliberate part of the suit's sprint performance design.

The Pure Intent 2 Kneesuit is engineered specifically for sprint competition across all four strokes. Its maximum compression, bonded ergonomic seams for power return, and textured fabric zones for drag reduction make it the ideal choice for events from 50m to 200m. Distance swimmers and multi-eventers may prefer the LZR Pure Valor 2 Kneesuit for its moderate compression and greater flexibility across longer events.

No. The Speedo Fastskin LZR Pure Intent 2 Kneesuit is a competition-only racing suit. Regular training use will rapidly degrade the Lamoral® water-repellent coating and damage the bonded ergonomic seams that are central to the suit's performance. Reserve the Pure Intent 2 exclusively for races and competition warm-ups. Speedo offer a separate range of endurance training swimsuits and kneesuits for regular pool use.

Rinse the suit thoroughly in cold fresh water immediately after every use to remove chlorine and salt. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, iron, or dry-clean. Store the suit flat and dry, away from direct sunlight. Avoid contact with sun cream, fake tan, or petroleum-based products as these will degrade the Lamoral® coating and bonded seams. Do not leave the suit sitting in chlorinated water for extended periods after a race.

The LZR Pure Intent 2 Kneesuit combines four key performance technologies: Comfortable Precision Straps for a secure, distraction-free shoulder fit; Lamoral® Space Tech coating for long-lasting water repellency; triple fabric construction with bonded ergonomic seams that connect key muscle groups for greater power return; and textured fabric zones that target drag reduction at specific body zones for optimal performance. Together these make the Pure Intent 2 Speedo's fastest and most technically advanced women's racing kneesuit.
