TYR

TYR Sport makes swimwear and equipment for swimming and training, with products also presented for gym use. Its official about page highlights athletes in swimming and other sports as examples of the brand's reach; those endorsements reflect a page at a point in time and may change. The company's language about precision and innovation describes its design aims, not independent proof of a time saving or performance result for every wearer.
