TESTED AND PROVEN BY ATHLETES : :

We've been out to the training camps and races meeting and talking with triathletes and swimmers to get their feedback. The good news is that all of them that tried TRISWIM and TRISLIDE had only the highest praises for our products. And we know you will too!

We've compiled several profiles of athletes who have become great advocates of TRISWIM and TRISLIDE. We thought you'd enjoy reading about their success and what they had to say.

Below are the recent testimonials and bios of athletes who have tested TRISWIM and given us their feedback.

We also have photos and the latest feedback from athletes, weekend warriors, Novas, Kids Club and casual swimmers who have recently tested TRISLIDE, TRISWIM and our newest brand, FOGGLE. Read More.

GRADY FUNK : :

"FOGGLE is another great idea and product from SBR Sports, Inc. makers of TRISWIM and TRISLIDE. I had no idea how dirty my goggles were until I used FOGGLE. I felt like they were brand new after I gave them a wipe. It makes finding those feet in a race that much easier!! You can really get the dirt off with the cloth compared to the standard spray products that you typically find."

Grady Funk is an elite triathlete, having competed in both 70.3 and Ironman distance races all over the world. More on Grady.

UCLA TRIATHLON TEAM MEMBER : :

"Now I can finally see the lane line clearly during my swim workouts; I can see which part of my stroke is actually pushing me forward. Since I don’t have to take my goggles off and splash them with water, the chlorine of the pool truly does stay out of my eyes and I do not endure the 'after-swim' eye sting. I always FOGGLE my goggles before a race so I can see my competitors clearly when I pass them in the water!"

The UCLA Triathlon Team is student-run organization and an official club sport of the UCLA Recreation Department. In addition to a structured coached program for students, UCLA Triathlon also provides coaching and a team atmosphere for staff, faculty, alumni, and community members. UCLA Triathlon also hosts public clinics and a multifaceted training program for members of all levels to excel. More on the UCLA Triathlon Team.

MAC BROWN : :

"My friend, fellow triathlete Grady Funk, gave me the FOGGLE, TRISWIM Conditioner, Shampoo, Body Wash and Lotion samples last month and I have used them all thoroughly. I use the FOGGLE every time I swim now because my old goggles always tend to fog up! Instead of buying new pairs, I just use the wipes to get more use out of my current goggles. I was also up in Utah for 2 weeks training and the air up there is very dry. I was doing a great deal of training and my skin was becoming VERY DRY. Once I started using the TRISWIM lotion, I never had any problems with dry skin. I will highly recommend all these products to my training partners, coached athletes and friends in the future!"

Mac Brown is 4 time USA Triathlon All-American and 2 time Inside Triathlon All-American. This will be Mac's first full year racing as a pro. He was injured from day 1 last season and will return to a high level of competition this season. Mac's goal is to qualify again for the Ironman World Championship in Kona this October. This is also the first year Mac is coaching the triathlon team at UCSD. Mac says his biggest accomplishment was finishing as the 6th American and 4th amateur in the world at the Kona Ironman Championships in 2007. More on Mac.

JOE BONNESS : :

"The FOGGLE worked great! Both my goggles and helmet visor have stayed clear since I wiped them with the FOGGLE towelette. Generally, I have to clear my goggles after a half hour. It was real nice (and faster) being able to keep good eye sight over the whole course."

In 2000, Joe entered 5 Ironman races, finishng each in under 10 hours. He won his AG four times and a 3rd Place in Kona. He finished the year with the "Bonness Triple" - Three Ironman triathlons in 21 days. Joe first qualified for Hawaii in 1994 and has qualified and finished there every year since. More on Joe.

HEATHER GOLLNICK : :

"I love the TRISWIM products! With swimming a lot and not being a real blonde, I need to get the chlorine out of my hair and TRISWIM helped my hair not only smell great but stay blonde. The TRISWIM lotion leaves my skin smelling and feeling fresh and clean with no chlorine smell."

Heather is a past National and World Champion at both the Duathlon and Triathlon level. She has won Ironman Arizona and is a five-time Ironman Champion.

FELIPE LOUREIRO : :

"The TRISWIM products have been a great addition to my life. I've been swimming at least 3-4 days a week for the past 15 years which means I've had to live with 'chlorine hair' for that long... until I started using TRISWIM. Even my wife noticed the difference the week I started using it. She didn't smell the chlorine in my hair and the usual straw looking appearance changed into normal, healthy looking hair-- I never thought it was possible. I guess I had just got used to living with dry, chlorine-smelling hair. I am so glad that TRISWIM hit the market."

Currently 32 and residing in San Diego, California, Felipe is a USA Triathlon Level I certified coach as well as a certified NCSF personal trainer. Felipe grew up in Brazil and remembers when he was 10 years old and his dad began training for triathlons. Two years later, at 12 years old, he followed in his dad's footsteps and competed in his first triathlon... and since then, he's raced in over 300 triathlon races around the world, including 2 Ironmans. More on Felipe.

MARTHA SZUFNAROWSKI : :

"I have used the TRISWIM products for years now – and recently gave a whole set to my kids after they complained of smelling strongly like chlorine from our new community pool. The organic products are safe and gentle for the kids, and they love the smell and feel of the body wash and lotion as well as the shampoo and conditioner. Our whole family has tubes of TRISWIM products in our swim bags and showers now! "

Martha is an active triathlete, a USAT Certified Triathlon Coach, Head Coach-Ladera Ranch Masters Swimming and Board Member for the Orange County Triathlon Club.

CAROLE SHARPLESS : :

"I have been using the TRISWIM products for years. As a swimmer, I am always concerned about what the harsh chlorine will do to my hair, and hate the lingering smell of chlorine on my body. The shampoo and conditioner always seem to strip my hair of the chemical residue, leaving it soft and healthy. The body wash scrub and lotion refresh my skin and leave me smelling great. I have hooked many people on these products and highly recommend them!"

In the summer of 1996, Carole competed in her first sprint triathlon at the urging of a fellow Masters Swim Class member. Now, a decade since that first triathlon, Carole has climbed her way through the ranks of the sport and is now living her dream as a Professional Triathlete.

KARLYN PIPES-NEILSEN : :

"As a life-long competitive swimmer I spend 5-6 sessions in the pool a week. For years my perfume has been "eau de Chlorine." No more thanks to TRISWIM. Finally, there is a product that eliminates the chlorine smell from my hair and body from even from the worst of pools. The shampoo doesn't dry out my hair, the conditioner moisturizes without being slimy and the lotion has a clean, fresh scent. Thanks TRISWIM for stepping up and making a product that really works! "

Professional Swimmer Karlyn Pipes-Neilsen was recently inducted into the Internationals Masters Swimming Hall of Fame. Karlyn has set over 180 FINA Masters World Records spanning four age-groups and has set a WR in every stroke!

TIM HOLA : :

" I have been using TRISLIDE skin-lubricant for my runs and it works great on my feet to prevent blisters. And the TRISWIM product line is exactly what I have been looking for. Ever since I started swimming 25 years ago, I have always had swimmers hair; that chlorine bleached hair that made me smell like a swimming pool. I could not find a remedy until I discovered TRISWIM. The Organic Aloe Vera in addition to the other ingredients in TRISWIM make it so that I look forward to swim workouts. I know I'll be fresh and clean after each and every time in the pool. Perhaps the best part is that the TRISWIM lotion makes me feel and smell terrific when I put on my suit for work!"

Currently 34, Tim is entering his 14th year racing triathlons. He was a swimmer since he was 7, swam through high school, and then joined the rowing team at the University of Iowa in 1993. Running was a large part of his rowing training, and he already was a swimmer, so Tim soon began biking and did his first triathlon with his dad in 1995 in Des Moines, IA. He has been hooked ever since and is always looking for that next challenge. Since that 1st race, some of his top honors have been: Triathlete Magazine's 2005 Amateur Triathlete of the Year, Triathlete Magazines 2006 Amateur Triathlete of the Year - Honorable Mention, 5th American at 2006 Ironman Hawaii (8:58), 1st Overall 2005 US 1/2 Ironman National Championship, 6th Overall at 2006 Timberman Triathlon, 13th Overall at 2005 Ironman Florida. More on Tim.

RYAN HUMES : :

"I've been using the TRISWIM chlorine-out products for a few years now and nothing works better for getting that itchy dryness out of my hair and off my body after a pool session. The scent is clean and fresh, but not overpowering. When I'm swimming open water, TRISLIDE is the absolute best product, not only for getting the wetsuit on and off, but also for maintaining the integrity of the suit."

Ryan is an elite athlete competing in Ironman and International distance races. A few of Ryan's racing accomplishments: 2007 Inaugural Pasadena Triathlon Champion! 2006 USAT All-American(25-29); and 2006 USAT Aquathlon National Champion(25-29). More on Ryan.

KEVIN KOSKELLA : :

“By using the TRISWIM products, I have been able to kill the chlorine smell from my skin and replace it with a pleasant citrus smell. What sold me on TRISWIM (besides the name) was waking up the next day after swimming and not smelling chlorine on myself! If I use the body wash and then the lotion immediately afterward, my dry skin is completely minimized. The chlorine fighting shampoo has also allowed my hair to grow normally again instead of breaking off. I highly recommend these products if you are swimming in typical highly chlorinated pools. Excellent Frangrance(citrus). Effectiveness: Wonderful. These products worked the best for me. Overall Rating: 5/5."
