Three-time IRONMAN World Champion Jan Frodeno has entered into a multi-year partnership with THEMAGIC5, makers of what is billed as ‘the world’s best-fitting swimming goggles’.
A 2008 Olympic gold medallist, Frodeno won his third IRONMAN World Championship in 2019. This April, he completed an iron distance fundraiser at his home in Girona, Spain, raising over US$250,000 for hospital workers fighting the coronavirus. Frodeno swam 2.4 miles in his counter-current pool, cycled 112 miles on his bike trainer, and ran a marathon on his treadmill, reaching over 320 million viewers via livestream.
Frodeno completed the swim portion of his at-home challenge in a pair of THEMAGIC5 Blue Magic Mirror Silver goggles, unbeknownst to the brand. After the fundraiser, he reportedly reached out to THEMAGIC5, expressing interest in a partnership.
“I was intrigued by the concept and have been amazed by how the product lives up to its promises,” Frodeno said. “A lot of other brands claim a perfect or premium fit, but they’re all one-size-fits-all. These goggles are different. They are custom-made, and that means they actually fit you.”
THEMAGIC5 makes ‘the world’s first and only custom-fitted swimming goggles, designed to match the contours of a user’s face.’
A mobile app utilizes an advanced facial scan to capture unique data points used to model the nose bridge, gasket and other custom components of the goggles. The result is a custom-fitted, comfortable pair of goggles that ‘doesn’t leak water, leave pressure marks, or distract.’
“I’ve never felt more comfortable in the water,” Frodeno added. “These goggles get me excited to swim”
