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.

mask and snorkel,
By
This review is from: Speedo Adult Recreation Mask/Snorkel Set (Sports)
excellent value - high quality - very satisfied - the only challenge, for someone inexperienced like me, was how to attach the snorkel to the mask - there were no instructions - there was a ring on the snorkel that obviously was for attaching on the mask so several of us who bought the same mask for our cruise gave it a shot - the simplest way was to just remove one side of the head strap on the mask, insert the strap through the ring that is on the snorkel and put the strap back in place - however, this is very difficult without something to get the strap started through the connector because the tip of the strap would fold over when you tried to push it through - so we used a piece of palm branch we found on the beach (poor us) - that was used as a guide and it worked fine - others slipped part of the ring off the snorkel instead of taking the strap off the mask - regardless, we all got the snorkel attached and everything worked great - which says a lot for the equipment since none of our clumsy efforts broke anything - the rubber was very flexible and sturdy, and we all had a great time!!!

Fair snorkeling set but buyers beware,

This review is from: Speedo Adult Recreation Mask/Snorkel Set (Sports)
I bought two of these sets for my honeymoon in Maui. Generally ,the snorkel set was usable but definitely not as good as I hoped. Here is a breakdown of my experience:
Pros: -Masks rarely fog up if worn properly. This is the first snorkel set that I've used that actually doesn't fog as often. -It is a strong snorkel mask and very durable. Cons: -These brand new snorkel sets have a very unpleasant smell to them when opening the package. -The snorkel straps don't stay on and occasionally slip off. -If the snorkel straps slip off the clip, they take patience to put back on through the clip. (This was the most frustrating part. It took me almost 15 minutes to clip it back on.) -Water fills up on the bottom of the snorkel funnel frequently.

I could not have expected a better product for the price. The mask is comfortable and retains its clarity. I have a moustache, which always makes it a little difficult to get a good seal around the nose, but this mask and snorkel perform as well for me as ones I've used at much higher prices.
