Colorado Springs, CO, July 8, 2020 USA Artistic Swimming signs Xero Shoes as its official footwear partner providing athletes innovative shoes that match the team’s style in the water.

Xero Shoes have sold hundreds of thousands of shoes, boots, and sandals to customers in 97 countries, ages 2-92, and will now be worn by the USA Artistic Swimming Senior National Team at every international competition.
