Further cementing Aqua Sphere's dominance with the Tri community, the company announced today 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's most renowned 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 in Clearwater, Fl.

Aqua Sphere's popular Seal and Vista swimming masks and Kaiman goggles have adorned some of the sport's most prominent faces, but the company gained renown when it became the sole sponsor of Christof Wandratsch, the former Ironman Swim World Record Holder, and Faris Al Sultan, the 2005 Ironman World Champion two years ago.

"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 recognized 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 unrivaled line of performance open-water swimming wetsuits. Branded IRONMAN but powered by Aqua Sphere's advanced technology, the wetsuits helped to attract several of their new sponsored athletes.
