Abstract

Nanotechnology is basically manipulation of matter on an automatic, molecular and supra molecular scale. It can be defined as manipulation of matter with at least one dimension sized form one to hundred nano meters. Today research in nano technology deals with special properties of matter that occurs below the given size threshold. It is very broad field including field of size. As the application of nanotechnology spreads out to varies fields, sports also was influenced by its application and when we think of swimming it is undisputedly evident how and to what extent it can influence an individual’s performance. It came under scanner when Michael phelps won 8 gold medals and 7 world records in 2008 Olympics and 25 others also broke the world records. 168 world records were broken by competitive swimmers wearing nano technology aided costumes from 2008 Beijing Olympics to 2010.
