Speedo today unveiled the Australian Commonwealth Games aquatic team uniforms for Glasgow 2026 in one of the most spectacular settings in world sport.

Aboard a chartered Sydney Ferry, with the Opera House and Harbour Bridge as a living backdrop, Australia’s best swimmers gathered on the water to mark the beginning of a new chapter — an event that put Speedo’s founding home front and centre: the water, the harbour, the spirit of a brand born on Bondi in 1928.

Leading the Australian Team at the launch were a group of highly accomplished Commonwealth Games medallists, reflecting the strength and success of Australia’s swimming program.

Among them were Elijah Winnington (four gold and one bronze), Kaylee McKeown (three gold, one silver and one bronze), Lakeisha Patterson (two gold and one bronze), Zac Stubblety-Cook (one gold and one silver), Sam Short (one gold and one silver), Col Pearse (one gold) and Lizzy Dekkers (one gold).

Established relay stars Lani Pallister, Tommy Neill, Kai Taylor and Flynn Southam were also in attendance, along with talented young Dolphins Will Petric, Harry Turner, Hannah Casey and Sienna Toohey (New South Wales Institute of Sport scholarship holder).

The Sydney Harbour launch was a deliberate and powerful statement. Water is the essence of what Speedo stands for, and what better place to unveil Australia’s kit for Glasgow than on the water itself, framed by two of the world’s most recognisable icons. The moment captured everything Speedo is: performance, identity, belonging, and the pure connection between athlete and element.

Fastskin 2.0: the Race Suits

The Glasgow 2026 competition wear features Speedo’s Fastskin 2.0 Intent and Valor race suits in Green — the deep, proud tone that defines the national aquatic identity. Both suits are engineered for every type of competitive swimmer, combining two decades of pioneering performance science with next-generation fabric construction and hydrodynamic profiling.

The standout design detail is the use of hyper yellow taping and straps on the Intent and contrast hyper yellow logos on the Valor suits, completing the two-tone green and gold colour story. The taping follows the body’s natural muscle lines, providing compressive support while delivering the unmistakeable visual language of Australian sporting excellence. The result is a race suit that looks as fast as it performs — a complete green and gold look built to win on the world stage.

Unity Graphic: Honouring Identity in Every Stroke

The Glasgow 2026 training wear carries a design story with deep cultural significance. The Commonwealth Games ‘Unity’ graphic — a circular mandala-style artwork developed as part of the Gold Coast 2018 Reconciliation Action Plan and designed by Indigenous artist Jenna Lee through Brisbane agency Gilimbaa — is printed on the training swimwear as a full surface pattern, embedding First Nations artistry directly into the fabric of Australia’s sporting story.

The Unity graphic is applied across light and dark colourways in Commonwealth teal, creating visual coherence across the full training range. The pattern graphic renders the design as a repeating wave motif — a subtle, continuous reference to country, community and connection.
