    Global swimwear brand Speedo has today announced a multi-year partnership with British Swimming to provide swimwear and specialist equipment to all aquatic disciplines across senior and junior squads.

    The deal, which runs across the next two Olympic and Paralympic cycles, will see Speedo become the official technical and apparel partner for British Swimming and the Home Nations and kicks off at the 2022 European Aquatics Championships in Rome next month. The Speedo partnership extends to the Home Nations of Swim England, Swim Wales and Scottish Swimming, with all parties looking forward to the opportunity of establishing Speedo from grass roots to elite.

    As a result, British swimmers will be able to wear all Speedo products including caps, goggles and the swimsuits which were worn by 69 per cent of those athletes who won swimming medals in Tokyo. Out of the pool, athletes will wear Speedo’s eco range, which is part of Speedo’s most sustainable teamwear product offering ever.

    Anyone who’s ever stepped on board a boat has likely considered, even if only briefly, what would happen if they fell off it. The terror of that thought though is usually washed away by knowing there’d be immediate help. A life ring would be thrown into the water, the boat would turn around, a rescue would happen. But what about if you’re a lone sailor and you fall off your yacht in the middle of nowhere? A month ago it happened to John Deer in shark-infested waters off Panama. And just how the Aussie adventurer survived the freak accident undoubtedly makes him the luckiest, unlucky bloke in the world.

    The group spent two days building the project, using hay bales and silage wrap to create a pit that they lined with tarpaulin, and then two more days filling it with water.
