Further cementing Aqua Sphere’s dominance within the triathlon community, the company has announced the sponsorship of Team Timex athletes, along with some of the world’s best individual triathlon competitors. The leader in high-end, innovative swim products, Aqua Sphere will provide the athletes with wetsuits and eyewear, already the choice of many triathletes worldwide.

Team Timex is made up of world-class athletes who compete in triathlon events such as IRONMAN and Xterra. In addition to the members of Team Timex, Aqua Sphere’s newly sponsored athletes include:

• Ronni Schildknect - winner of both the IRONMAN Switzerland Zurich and IRONMAN 70.3 Switzerland Rapperswil-Jona competitions, as well as several other events.
• Marcel Zamora - one of Spain’s top triathletes. A three-time winner of the IRONMAN Nice-France and two-time winner of the Monaco 70.3 IRONMAN.
• Terenzo Bozzone - winner of 18 International titles, including this year’s World Half IRONMAN 70.3 Championship.

“For a while we were known simply as the ‘goggle gurus’ within triathlon circles,” says Oliver Laguette, director of marketing for Aqua Sphere. “But now we are recognised by triathletes as the premiere providers of high-quality and innovative swim gear, designed specifically for triathletes.”

A recent collaboration between IRONMAN, a triathlon mainstay, and Aqua Sphere resulted in an unrivalled line of performance open-water swimming wetsuits. Branded IRONMAN, but powered by Aqua Sphere’s advanced technology, the wetsuits helped to attract several of the company's new sponsored athletes.
