In 1973, just one year after the 1972 Munich Summer Olympic Games, Arena launched its first competition swimwear line with the introduction of Skinfit®. Skinfit was known in the industry as a “technological pearl.” The new ultra-light fabric only weighed 18 grams and was designed to cling to a swimmer’s body like a “second skin.”

TYR Burner Fin

The next evolution in training swim fins is here and D&J Sports has an exclusive early shipment of the new TYR Burner Fins. The Burner EBP is a floating short blade fin that mimics race-day cadence while building lean muscle. These new fins are made of super soft silicone and will soon be replacing all of the other short fins on the market including the Zoomers and Speedo Optimus fins. Why? Because of the size of the blade, the low weight of the fin and excellent flexibility of this fin. For years swim fin engineers have been trying to design the perfect swim fin for training and improving stroke and kick techniques. All while maintaining a natural feel of the water. Now you have the perfect swim fin in the TYR Burner EBP fins. This fin meets all of the design and material factors that swimmers have been searching for.

TYR Burner EBP Fins

Here is the full detailed description of the new TYR Burner EBP training swim fins will do for you:

Burner — The perfect fin for training at race cadence. The shorter fin-blade provides just the right amount
of propulsion to hone in on the perfect stroke. The shorter cadence kick helps build fast twitch muscle fibers
throughout the leg. An ergonomic foot pocket allows for decreased levels of tendon strain with efficient
strength building for the ankle.

EBP — Stands for Elevated Body Position. Constructed of ultra-soft high buoyancy rubber the fin helps
maintain proper body position while training. By maintaining proper body position during training the
Burner EBP allows for raceday muscle development and helps simulate race pace conditions.

Wall Gripper Footpad — Keeps the foot anchored during flip turns and push-offs.

Custom Swim Team T-shirtNeed a fundraiser for your swim team? I have a few great ideas for you. Almost every swim team has a team t-shirt, so instead of just taking an order and reselling the shirts to the swimmers and parents at cost you can mark the shirts up and make additional money for your swim team. Buy 50 custom printed swim team t-shirts for your team at $6.00 each and sell each shirt as a swim team fundraiser item at $12 each and you will make $300 for your swim team. Or better yet sell the shirts at $15 each and you make $450 for your swim team. You can also do the same thing with custom swim caps and custom printed water bottles. Call D&J Sports today for more information 1-800-460-SWIM.

Speedo Mirror Goggles for Outdoor Swimming

Speedo Mirror Goggles for Outdoor Swimming

Summer is here and outdoor swimming is going on everywhere. USA Swimming teams and summer league swim teams are now practicing and competing outdoors. This only means one thing…the sun. Yes the sun will be giving us all that great tan we like and making it really hard to see. This is unless you have some good mirror swim goggles. Metallic goggles are like sun glasses for swimmers and allow us to see when we are swimming, especially during the backstroke.

Back in the old days when I was a kid and the best solution was a smoke goggle and a squint of the eye, in order to avoid hitting the wall with my head. Now a days you can most likely find the same goggle you are using with a metallic lens. If you are not sure of some great metallic goggle I do have some suggestions. The best selling womens mirror goggle is by far the Speedo Women’s Vanquisher Goggle. This is a great fitting and super comfortable swim goggle, oh did I mention that they look pretty too. For guys you have your choice of the Speedo Vanquisher 2.0 Plus goggles, which is a new and improved version of the Speedo Vanquisher and the Michael Phelps goggle the Speedo Speed Socket Mirrored goggle. Let’s not forget about the kids, the Speedo Jr. Vanquisher Plus for kidos 8-14 years old or the Speedo Jr. Hydrospex Mirrored for the younger kids. This is a great goggle for kids, 1 piece frame design, easy adjustable strap system, and one of the all time best fitting kids goggles. Just a no brainer folks! I hope this helps and don’t forget the sunscreen!

There are lots of new swimsuits out for the summer. One of my favorites is the new TYR Shockwave Durafast swimsuit. This fun new print has a wavy water looking pattern and is available in several different styles, including a female 2 piece, and male jammer swimsuit. The TYR Shockwave 2 piece swimsuit has TYR’s new ringback design. The ring on the back of the suit top allow the straps to stay put and minimize the need for additional fabric. Thus you get a fun swimsuit and minimal tan lines!

TYR Shockwave Swimsuits

Many swim teams will also like the TYR Shockwave since they have great team colors and matching female and male styles. The male TYR Shockwave jammer features a solid body with the spliced Shockwave pattern going down the leg. TYR’s legendary Durafast 100% polyester swimsuit fabric is another reason not to pass up this fun swimsuit. The 100% polyester swimsuits will last as much as 10 times longer than the traditional Lycra based swimwear.
