Speedo has renewed its partnership with the German Swimming Federation (Deutschen Schwimm-Verband, DSV) in a long-term agreement that runs through to 2029. The move builds on an existing collaboration that began in 2023.
Under the agreement, Speedo will continue to supply performance and training swimwear, goggles, caps, and accessories across all aquatic disciplines – including swimming, diving, high diving, synchronised swimming, water polo, open water swimming, and ice swimming.
DSV athletes will wear Speedo kit at major international competitions including the European Championships, World Championships, and the Olympic Games. The brand joins Aquafeel as an official outfitter of the national federation.
Chairman of the DSV Jan Pommer said “This special relationship with Speedo is integral to the future of German swimming, arriving as we embark on the current Olympic cycle.
“Our aspiration is to create the best conditions for peak performance of our athletes – with Speedo we have a powerful, innovative partner at our side, who lead in shaping swimming worldwide. This partnership lays the foundations for the success of our team on the way to Los Angeles 2028.”
Speedo’s relationship with the DSV is supported by its direct-to-retail model in Germany, with sales operations based in Munich. Milestones since 2023 include the signing of national team swimmers Isabel Gose and Angelina Köhler.
Köhler won the world title in the 100m butterfly at the World Aquatics Championships in Doha in 2024. At the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Gose took bronze in the 1500m freestyle with a new national record.
Johannes Graff, Business Development Director (DACH) at Speedo, said “With the new partnership between Speedo and the German Swimming Federation, we will take our relationship to the next level.
“Our common goal is clear: to equip the DSV swimmers with the highest quality and best equipment, supporting them on their journey towards 2028 and beyond. We will strive for peak performance, innovation, and trust – in and outside the water.
Simon Rowe, Speedo SVP Global Sports Marketing, added “We’re proud to extend our partnership with leading swimming federation, DSV, through to 2029.
“German swimming is on an exciting trajectory, showcased by recent world record performances; and this deeper collaboration reflects our shared ambition to keep pushing forward together at an elite level, bringing confidence, and joy to more people in and around the water.”
