Win a swimsuit from Speedo's flattering new range, designed for real women's bodies with the help of Gabby Logan
We all know the health benefits of exercise – and swimming is one of the most accessible and effective ways to improve your health and wellbeing, offering an efficient low-impact workout. A gentle swim can burn over 200 calories in half an hour, boosting cardiovascular fitness while toning your entire body.
Experts agree that getting in the pool is also a brilliant way to enhance mental wellbeing. However, the idea of shopping for swimwear can be intimidating: a recent poll revealed over half of the women surveyed had almost been reduced to tears while trying on swimsuits, with 40 per cent of women struggling to find a style to suit their body shape.
TV presenter and Speedo Sculpture Ambassador Gabby Logan sympathises with the anxieties faced by women, and says, ‘We have all felt the unease about getting into our swimwear at some point in our lives, but we should be motivated by the sporting achievements from the last few months to get ourselves a little healthier and to take the plunge.
'Swimming is the perfect exercise if you want to feel healthy or to just relax – going for a swim always clears my mind and gives me some valuable “me time” when I need it.’
The range has been created using the analysis of over 5,400 women’s body shapes, while combining Speedo’s athletic design expertise with state-of-the-art fabrics and construction.
