Swim Atlanta Enter Multi-Year Partnership with TYR

Entering the 2010 competitive swim season, TYR is thrilled to announce the beginning of a multi-year sponsorship with Atlanta, Ga.-based Swim Atlanta and Head Coach Chris Davis. Currently sponsoring the programs stand out, Olympic Medalist and American Record Holder Amanda Weir, the company looks forward to fostering the largest team in the country as it builds on 33 years of experience. “Swim Atlanta has never been just about quantity,” said TYR’s Promtions Director Matt Zimmer. “Five Olympians produced under Chris Davis’ program speaks volumes to the type of coach and the type of program we are proud to partner with.” Since the co-founding of Swim Atlanta in 1977, Davis has engineered the team from one location and 25 swimmers to seven locations and over 2,000 swimmers. In its tenure, the team has won 12 Junior National Championships and one U.S. National Club Championship. During that time, Davis has personally coached three of the five Olympians who have come through the Swim Atlanta program, including Weir. “I have watched TYR from a distance the past few years and observed their relationship with not only their professional athlete but their sponsored teams both college and club,” Davis shared. “I have been extremely impressed on all fronts. Our entire coaching staff is excited about Swim Atlanta's future with such an outstanding company as TYR.” In addition to a continued dedication to redefining the next generation of performance swimwear and accessories, TYR is passionate about supporting swim programs, individual athletes, and coaches worldwide.
