Aqua Sphere gets Energized about compression

Aqua Sphere, the name behind some of the world’s most advanced swimming equipment, is again delivering frontline innovation with the introduction of Energize, its collection of swimwear designed to allow competitors to reap the benefits of compression-wear during racing as well as in training.
Comprising three models – a training suit, a speedsuit and a tri-suit – the new Energize compression range from Aqua Sphere works by providing targeted muscle support, enhancing circulation to active muscles, and reducing muscle fatigue; thereby boosting an athlete’s power, speed and stamina. Targeted compression of various muscle groups reduces lactic acid build up, helping athletes to recover faster.
“This is the first line of swimwear that utilizes advanced compression technology,” said Martin Newton, Sales & Marketing Manager at Aqua Sphere UK. “Typically water causes materials to lose compression but, excitingly, we’ve developed a brand new fabric that maintains its compression properties when wet.
“Using Aqua Sphere’s exclusive Dynamix fabric, specifically engineered with a hydrophobic surface coating and elastic fibres to support and compress muscles, Energize suits flatten the body using a strategic panel construction that targets specific muscle groups including the quadriceps, hamstrings, hips, waist and abdominal muscles. The result is reduced oscillation during swimming, resulting in a faster swim and improved bike and run performance during the remainder of a triathlon.”
Positioned as being ideal for triathlon as well as competitive swimming events, the FINA approved Energize Training Suit enhances active recovery by protecting core muscles. According to Aqua Sphere, the Energize Speedsuit is approved by WTC (World Triathlon Corp), and is designed to be worn over a tri suit for non-wetsuit races, helping to save energy by compressing the core muscles during the swim leg of a triathlon.
Providing a streamlined fit that reduces drag, the SpeedSuit incorporates strategic side panels that work in conjunction with the Dynamix compression textile to reduce muscle vibrations and keep them fresh for the bike and run. Finally, the Energize TriSuit is billed as being ideal for Sprint and Olympic distance triathlons and is designed to be worn throughout the entire race.
Delivering a ‘healthy margin’ to retailers, the range is available to pre-order now for 1 February 2012 retail availability. All interested (UK & international) retailers and distributors can view the new collection by calling their Aqua Sphere sales contact or the UK Head Office on +44 (0)1254 692200.
