A rough image of a racerback swimsuit. The back is mostly covered, but has no clothing coverage around the shoulders to maximize arm movement while swimming.

A racerback is a type of women's swimsuit design common today among competitive swimwear and incorporated into some types of women's clothing.

The racerback was first developed in 1928 by the Speedo company to give athlete swimmers greater flexibility and movement.
