Validated through rigorous actiVe drag testing protocols with
sports scientists, olympic athletes and coaches, and perfected in
real competition, the tracer high-performance line of technical suits
offer swimmers a real choice in precision enhancement.
tracer light, tracer B-series, and tracer c-series all present unique performance benefits to the athlete.
with three technological options in multiple fina-approved body styles, each is designed to meet the
various needs of the individual athlete – be it stroke, distance, body type, or ability. the line-up of suits
allows for a customized approach to performance.
the tracer high-performance line of products has been the most successful technical suit grouping
ever offered by tyr. records, olympic medals, and championships already captured in a tracer suit
validate the superior design, and now with customizable options for everyone, the line will continue to
expand the potential for every athlete’s success.

tracer light
zoned muscle compression and hydrophobic coating work simultaneously to produce a swimsuit technology
already proven to perform with multiple national, ncaa, and world champions.
compressing large muscle groups aids in the reduction of muscle fatigue and strain. the consistent, even
firmness supports muscles efficiently without reducing movement so no energy in motion is wasted.
the four-way lock seams follow the contours of the human musculature and compress the major muscle groups
which improves blood circulation. efficient energy transfer, reduction in muscle undulation, and an improved
streamline are all results of tracer light technical advancements.

tracer B-series
no sewing or threads means greater drag reduction and a smooth, flawless finish. each connecting seam is fused
using hB (high-bond) micro-tape to weld fabric together ultrasonically.
following the natural contours of the human body, the tracer B-series design leads the industry with an exclusive
muscle-mapping pattern. creating the most form-fitting suit fused throughout with ultra-sonic bonds, there is no
sewing of parts to make a single suit. athletes now have a seemingly continuously technology that is comprised
of five pieces. minimized seams, ultra-light bonding, and no stitching allows for an incredibly light yet functionally
fitting technology.

compressing large muscle groups aids in the reduction of muscle fatigue and strain. the consistent, even
firmness supports muscles efficiently without reducing movement so no energy in motion is wasted.
the compression suit acts as a second, firmer skin, molding to the contours of the body, and improving blood
circulation. the subtle rise in muscle temperature allows the body to meet its optimal performance level and then
maintain it the entire race. reducing undulation increases efficient oxygen transfer throughout the circulatory
system. a rise in oxygenation will keep muscles from fatiguing quickly and promotes muscle flexion and

POWER MESH
The Power Mesh liner is made from .4mm Poly micro-mesh, increasing the specific strength of
the suit by a dramatic factor without escalating the weight. A hydrophobic finisher is applied to
the mesh liner to act as an ultimate barrier against water.
Power compression panels
Incorporating power mesh, these panels will lock the core in with up to a 75% increase in zoned
compression vs. a typical Lycra® suit. Decrease body circumference by up to 10%.
FABRIC
The Tracer Light shell and lining features a lightweight, hydrophobic and quick-drying fabrication. Woven with a powerful micro-filament, it has enhanced stretch properties and memory
retention to promote longevity and form-fit.
Four-Way Lock Seams
Contour the body and provide the strongest control available. TYR’s industry leading 18 stitchper-inch seams are incredibly durable, low-profile, and offer superior range of motion (ROM).
Compression Panels
Used in conjunction with the Four-Way Lock Seams, and intricately designed around the human
musculature, these muscle-mapped panels will lock the core in with up to a 25% increase in
zoned compression vs. a typical Lycra® suit. Panels decrease body circumference by up to 5%.
The Series 1 compression generated by the suit decreases muscle undulation and helps improve
blood flow and re-oxygenation of the muscle core.
Range of Motion (ROM) Straps
Stitched and firmly reinforced eight times for a sturdy hold that won’t split. Never compromising movement in the design process, allowing for fluidity and explosiveness.
BONDING
Smooth, flat-bonded seams outline the suit to create a stitchless design that provides a fluid,
drag-reducing fit. The inside of the seam are bonded then encased with HB (high-bond) microtaping to provide ultimate hold that won’t burst. The HB tape provides a consistently smooth
stretch that leaves leg, arm, and neck openings a seamless transition from skin to fabric.
PATTERN
With industry exclusive muscle-mapping seams, the Tracer B-Series’ five-piece pattern design
fits along the contours of the body to provide superior fit and reduce drag.
STRESS-POINT ENFORCEMENT
All stress points along the suit are reinforced with micro-stitch tacking to ensure suit integrity
even under extreme strains.

tracer fitting guide
Be careful while putting the garment on, as the nature of a lightweight, high performance suit requires time and
caution to put on properly. follow the instructions below to keep your tracer suit in optimum condition and
avoid any accidental damage.
instructions:
1. place one leg in the suit, making sure seams are correctly positioned at the sides of the legs.
2. to get the suit over the ankle, gently work the ankle opening over the foot to just above the ankle.
3. ensure the ankle opening is high enough up the leg to enable the rest of the suit to be pulled up fully, and sit correctly on the body.
4. gently pull up the suit to just above the knee making sure the material is pulled tight and there are no creases. we recommend pulling with a wide grip
across seams, as the seams are the strongest part of the suit. pulling directly on the fabric may result in damage to the suit.
5. repeat the process for the other leg, correctly positioning seams and gently pulling the remainder of the suit just above the knee, taking care to eliminate all
of the creases.
6. once the suit is past the knee on both legs, begin pulling it up bit by bit, alternately up each leg.
7. avoid using your fingernails to pull on the suit. pull the suit up with the care that you would use with a delicate fabric.
8. Before attempting to pull the suit over your rear ensure that the legs have been fully pulled up to the top of the thighs and crotch.
9. then hitch the suit up over your rear and arrange the top of the legs, crotch and seams of the suit so it is comfortable.
10. to fit over the torso, continue gently pulling the suit over the abdomen and lower back until the armholes can be fitted.
11. Be careful while putting arms through the armholes and over the shoulders. some final adjustments may be made in the length of the suit once the arms are
through as skin can restrict the ease of the fabric sliding into proper positions.
12. make final leg and torso fit adjustments before zipping up the back. when zipping the zipper, be sure to arch your back and squeeze shoulder blades
together so the zipper does not make any contact with the skin and snag.
13. upon first contact with water, the fabric is highly hydrophobic and will naturally repel water on the inside and outside of the garment. we recommend full
submersion and squeezing out any water bubbles that accumulate due to the water repellent coating.
