Huntington Beach, CA - TYR is excited to announce their latest and most innovative goggle experience yet: TYR Custom. Available online at
TYR.com/Custom, the program invites consumers to define their style by designing their very own pair of goggles from beginning to end. Offering endless possibilities, TYR Custom is a fun and creative customer experience for swimmers of all ages and skill sets. TYR Custom is about more than the competition, it is about self-expression!
The program launches with three distinct styles of goggles for the customers to select from; the Special Ops, the Remix Switchkit and the Swimple. For the elite-level athlete all the way down to the recreational swimmer, the Special Ops is a high performance goggle with polarized lenses that provides superior comfort. A 100% interchangeable goggle, the Remix Switchkit allows swimmers to fully break apart and put back together the individual parts on-the-go according to varying light conditions and/or style preference. Our #1 selling children's goggle, The Swimple is best known for its secure fit, comfort and no fuss head strap adjustment.
After choosing the TYR Custom goggle style that best fits the swimmers needs, the real fun begins. With the ability to select from up to 10 different colors for each individual component; the frame, frame locks, gaskets, strap, strap adjusters along with the lens color, the combinations are infinite. One can then complete their custom masterpiece by laser etching up to 15-20 characters (depending on the goggle style) onto the lens.
The TYR Custom website takes the customer through the virtual design process. The easy-to-use interface enables the customer to see the changes automatically with different viewing angles. It’s radically simple.
“In today’s world, consumers are looking for increasingly unique experiences with brands and their product, whether to meet specific needs or to simply express their personalities," said Steve Furniss, TYR's Swim Director. "Certainly TYR is excited to the be the first performance swim and triathlon manufacturer offering goggle customization as growth in the tailoring of products to specific customers needs and desires will be significant.”
