>> this is the new speedo fs3 and this is the cap that goes with it, the and the goggles that go with it, i will show you.
>> why is this new and revolutionary?
>> because this is the first time it's a three-piece system that everything goes together so you buy it, the buy the cap, the goggles, the suit and makes you more hydrodynamic and it has a body stability web which compresses you.
>> we're going to see more of it and talk to you about where you guys are in training as you prepare for london, but first these messages and your local news.

From speedo's web site:
"Speedo FASTSKIN3 Super Elite Goggles
Designed utilising accurate 3D global head scanning data, Speedo FASTSKIN3 Super Elite Goggles deliver unparalleled accuracy of fit, leak resistance and comfort and redefine goggle aesthetics and technology. With unique IQ FIT seal and strap and Dive Stream outer profile that improves the contours of the swimmer’s head, localised force is reduced by up to 63.4%, minimising the risk of goggle movement during a swim. The goggles also feature a Hydroscopic Lens that offers 180⁰ peripheral vision."
With this Hydroscopic Lens , I'll be able to watch my own feet and kick for the first time while swimming/racing, that is instead of the swimmers' feet and kick in the adjoining lanes that I'm all too often seeing :D.
My thing is "who cares". If you swim "your" race it shouldn't matter. If you are watching the competition you aren't doing what YOU are supposed to.
