Speedo Gear In The Usa

When I went to just plain Speedo.com--there was a menu that came up on the right side of the screen that said "country" with a drop-down menu. I clicked and FRANCE came up. The French Speedo site loaded (all in French which I can't read well) BUT it did seem to have a section on competition suits. I'm certain goggles were offered too but the site takes a long time to load on a dial-up service. I'm guessing that France might ship to England OR may have stores that you go to on a brief holiday. Check the first page of the USMS site. Click on "sponsors". When I went to Kast-a-ways (who do have Speedo) -- they SAY they ship internationally. Maybe that'a solution for you?

Thanks msgrupp I think that you have solved my problem.Many thanks.If you are ever in London, England I will treat you to dinner!!!!!!!!!!! Mark Varney:D

Mark, I will be in London in a month--you want me to bring anything? I have had people from the UK use www.all-americanaquatics.com/ and they will ship too. Very personable and both owners are swimmers.

for the offer. I've never been to Europe or England (everyone else in my family has!). First step would be a passport which I never applied for. Anyway--let me know if the Kast-a-way site does really work. We've had a few European posters on here who have had trouble getting equipment (including someone else from England trying to find Barracuda goggles) and this would be a nice option for you guys across the pond. Always nice to use the sponsors for USMS and throw them some business.

try www.allamericanswim.com they will ship just about anywhere in the world. :)

Mark, I just returned from a vacation to find the new Mailsports UK catalogue in the post. They have the funky new speedo fastskins and speedlite goggles. They are at: www.mailsports.co.uk I will send you an email about the video clinic, do you have your dvd yet ?

Hi Gareth, I hope that you had a good vacation.I too have just received the Mailsports catalogue.I was looking for USA Olympic gear which unfortunately,they don't have.I think that Kast-a-way looks like my best bet.No,I haven't received anything back from the swim clinic video session yet.I guess,that Ian Welch is busy with his swimmers at the moment and hasn't had a chance to sort out our dvd's yet.:D I enjoyed meeting with you and appreciated the training schedules that you gave me.Unfortunately,I have had a shoulder injury since the video session.Just my luck!!!!!!!Are you going to be swimming at Sheffield in October??? Mark:p

Hi Janis and Khaden, Thanks for your replies.I am going to try Kast-a-way as they do the Olympic bag and also the USA Olympic towel and USA flag caps.I noticed that there was a distinct difference in the USA attitude to events compared to us British.The USA swimmers all seemed to believe that they COULD WIN the final,wheras us British just felt honoured to be in any finals.We got to 14 finals,I think,and all we came away with was 2 bronze medals.We NEED TO THINK MORE POSITIVELY.Every American I meet says that they find British people so polite,maybe we need to adopt a more AGRESSIVE ATTITUDE!!!!!!!!Janis,if I can't get Kat-a-way to ship to the uk I will let you know.Let me know when you are coming to London and maybe we can meet up for dinner with you and your fellow travellers. :D Thanks, Mark
