    With the debut of the new Arena Carbon Air tech suit on its store, leading swim retailer SwimOutlet.com has just launched an interactive Arena Powerskin Carbon Series guide on its website, highlighting the various characteristics and attributes of each suit in the popular Powerskin Carbon Series: the original Carbon Pro, Carbon Flex and the just-released Carbon Air – available starting today.

    “The Carbon Series has been such ground-breaking technology for the sport,” said Alexander Sienkiewicz, CMO SwimOutlet.com. “As of 2015, Arena now offers three different Carbon suits for swimmers to choose from and we wanted to provide an easy and very visual way for customers to differentiate between the styles, so that swimmers can find just the right model for their needs.”

    The Carbon Pro provides maximum power and the full compression of carbon; the Carbon Flex is highlighted by freedom of movement, while the Carbon Air is where intelligent compression meets comfort. The SwimOutlet.com Carbon Comparison guide also explains the unique carbon technology from Arena, highlighted by carbon bands providing superior compression.

    The Carbon Air is the latest addition to the Carbon line and features intelligent muscle compressions using ultra lightweight fabric for that second skin effect and maximum comfort. It retails at $250 for the men’s jammer and $350 for women’s.

  • Cleared storm drain turns into an unexpected water slide

    A video from YouTuber Patricia Pink shows a terrifying series of events in which four men and a child are attempting to unclog a large storm drain.

    The boy begins to jump on the branches that are clogging the large drain in an attempt to push them through, but once they’re freed, he and one of the men also go along for the ride.

    Fortunately, both the child and the man made it through the storm drain, which ran underneath a dirt road. Pink said in a YouTube comment that the two escaped with just a few bruises, according to a Google translation from Portuguese to English.
