Aquasphere announced seven-time Olympic medalist and World Champion swimmer Penny Oleksiak is joining its global team.
As part of the partnership, Oleksiak will be involved in the design and development of a new collection, including a technical suit, eyewear and additional swimwear for the company.
Oleksiak, credited with being the fastest swimmer in the world, will also train and compete in Aquaspere’s product range, including eyewear, training equipment and swimsuits. She will also support its Xceed goggle campaign, which launches later this year.
Team Aquasphere also includes swimmers Ben Proud (UK) and Maxime Grousset (FR), who both represent the brand’s eyewear collection worldwide.
“Growing up, I was taught to never put limits on myself, so Aquasphere’s mantra ‘Be Limitless’ really resonates with me,” said Oleksiak. “I’m very excited to be part of the innovation process and to help design technical gear that not only performs well but also looks great. Fashion has always been a passion of mine, and now I get to combine that with swimming to fuel the development and design of new products.”
A seven-time Olympic medalist and six-time World Championship medalist, Oleksiak is on Team Canada. As Canada’s youngest Olympic gold medalist, she holds the nation’s record for most medals at a single summer Game and is the country’s all-time most decorated Olympian. She currently holds the Olympic Record for the 100 Freestyle.
“Penny is quickly becoming an icon in the sport of swimming, and we are thrilled to welcome her to the Aquasphere team,” said Laurent Boury, senior vice president, brand and product, Aquasphere. “Penny’s inclusive personality combined with her stellar achievements in the pool makes her an ideal fit as Aquasphere looks to inspire the next generation of swimmers. We are honored to create a new collection together that will support her racing goals as she gets ready for 2024.”
