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.

Good All Around November 24, 2008

I've used the cap once and noticed that it went on the head smoothly and stayed in place. It also came off easily. Overall, I am very satisfied with the purchase.
 Too tight! September 1, 2008

This cap is so tight that I cannot wear it because it gives me headaches.
A good swim cap August 15, 2008

The speedo cap is good. One of the reasons is that it really streamlines the head and also its shape fits in the eye wear perfectly!
Great for protecting hair August 12, 2008

I learned to wet my hair completely with water (from shower) before putting on the swim cap from other reviewers. This method was great because it ensures the cap to stay fitted and not to slip off. I have long hair that reaches my mid-back, and this swim cap keeps them well-protected during swimming. (By the time I'm done swimming for an hour, my hair that was previously wet become partially dry!) Now I enjoy swimming almost daily without having to worry about the hair damage caused by swimming pool water.
Holds up well! August 1, 2008

After I let my very thick hair grow out to my waist I kept breaking almost new latex caps. Initially I bought a lycra cap, which fit but my hair was getting full of chlorine and the cap did not stay on well. I tried this silicon cap which fits, stays on very well if you wet your hair before putting it on and try to "squish" out air bubbles. It helps with keeping most of the pool water out of most of your hair. I've had my Speedo silicon cap for 8 years now and it's still fine!
