Aqua Sphere is proud to be a sponsor in the first of what will no doubt become a classic event

UK - My Triathlon, the tri event specialist, has chosen Aqua Sphere as its official swim equipment sponsor for the inaugural TATTON PARK TRIATHLON on 8th June 2008.  The event races comprise an Olympic distance (swim 1500m; bike 40k; run 10k), a Sprint distance (swim 500m; bike 20k; run 5k) and a corporate team sprint event.  Aqua Sphere is supplying prizes for the fastest male and females out of the water, donating a significant quantity of its award winning goggles and masks, and the team will be available at the event for product advice and fitting expertise.

Tatton Park Tri Organiser Steve Collins says “ We are delighted to have the support of Aqua Sphere for this inaugural event and it’s a huge boost in our bid to create a race series which really makes its mark on the UK Tri programme.  The Aqua Sphere brand is widely recognised and has huge integrity amongst the tri community because of the quality and innovation of its wide-angle goggles and masks. Thanks to the team for their support and I look forward to a long term successful relationship.”
