About Speedo
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.
Sports reviews of Speedo Competition Nose Clip
Customer Review: Would give 10 stars
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
if I could. This nose clip works wonderfully. Seems unbreakable. Feels like it will last a lifetime. Comfortable but firm. The metal is very resilient, meaning it goes back to its old shape without bending. The other person who said it seemed like it would not last is wrong. I have used this every day for months and it does not even need rebending. Highly recommended. Before I used the plastic Speedo available at Sports Chalet. I had to keep rebending it to keep out water, and eventually it broke. By contrast, this one does not need bending. It is very firm. Can you tell I like it?Customer Review: The nose clips of choice for modified SLD
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
For reasons that are obscure, a fair number of people lose weight if they use nose clips. No one is sure why, but for the people who are using SLD methods, including nose clips, this brand of nose clip is the nose clip of choice. So far there are about forty people experimenting with nose clips, and for what it is worth, they seem to be losing weight best with speedo.
I'm nonplussed by it, but if you are browsing around for SLD method weight loss and have come to this advertisement, you've found the nose clips on Amazon that everyone else bought.
Customer Review: Great for its purpose
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bought two pair of these for me and my wife about four years ago.
They are still in great condition. As opposed to cheap plastic clips you'll get in the sporting goods section of most department stores, these clips are quite comfortable to wear, and keep water out of your nose. I got them because we were both having problems with pollen that was floating on the water sending our sinuses into volcanic overload. With these clips on, that stopped immediately.
A+ product.
Customer Review: Quality clip
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
When I first received this clip I was very excited. However I soon realized that I had no idea how to wear it. (I'm quite new to swimming) And the instructions were pathetic, the picture on how to adjust the clip was not helpful. So I simply typed in "Speedo Nose Clip" on google and clicked images, I found several pictures of swimmers wearing the exact clip and that's when I figured it out. Once I discovered the correct position I was impressed! Very Nice.Customer Review: Greater than I expected.

I bought this because I needed something to help me in the shower. I always kept getting water, shampoo or conditioner up my nose... and those nights I was completely stopped up, I could not breath at all. So I decided to get this Speedo Nose Clip, and it keeps my nose air tight, nothing can get up there. So now my sinuses no longer have to suffer from the water, shampoo, etc. And when I go swimming, I'll be sure to take this along with me.
