Speedo has announced that British triathlete Vanessa Raw will become its latest brand ambassador.
Raw, who is a member of the Elite GB Triathlon Team, has had a series of successes including podium places at the 2012 ITU Triathlon Premium Pan American Cup Series, along with a top 20 finish in the 2012 ETU Triathlon European Championships.
Raw said “I have been competing in triathlons since 2005, and have always known Speedo as the ‘go to’ brand for swimwear and can’t wait to immerse myself in their triathlon products; so I’m delighted to have the opportunity to work with them.”
Speedo UK Marketing Manager Sally Polak added, “We are pleased to welcome Vanessa to Team Speedo; she is a fantastic fit for Speedo and a great ambassador for triathlon as we look to encourage more women into the sport.”
Leading swimwear brand Speedo has been active in the UK triathlon category for a number of years – with a notable drive from 2010, when the company unveiled its TriathELITE triathlon dedicated product range.
The TriathELITE wetsuit range is designed to improve speed, comfort and flexibility. The company notes that, featuring cutting-edge materials, athletes will be protected from cold open water conditions, be comfortably buoyant and sufficient assured to focus on speed.
For added confidence, the TriathELITE range of triathlon goggles, with anti-glare, fog-free and UV-protective qualities – are positioned as being ‘perfect for days when the sun pierces the open water surface.’
