SBR SPORTS, INC. not only believes in Solar and Green Technology, the entire product line of TRISWIM, TRISLIDE and FOGGLE is produced in a facility that utilizes 100,00 watts of solar energy. This allows manufacturing to maximize energy efficiency, minimize waste, reduce climate-damaging emissions, and encourage environmental values. Installing motion activated lighting, hundreds of low energy demand fixtures and an assortment of other low power consumption practices enables SBR SPORTS, INC. to reduce their carbon footprint and overall effect on the environment. Not only are the contents produced with "Green Technology," but packaging is created using materials that are fully recyclable.
SBR SPORTS INC. is intimately linked with the health of our planet. We're doing our part to minimize our impact on the environment and to reduce our dependence on the power grid. The combination of power management massive solar installation, not only lowered the factory's overall operating costs, it cut them in half.

Helpful Hints!
First, let's address winter time motivation - because drills won't do you any good if you don't go to the pool in the first place. Second, consider a Masters program. Join one and develop a few personal time goals to focus your workouts and keep yourself motivated during the offseason. Having someone watch your form from deck is very helpful, and you'll walk away with new skills and drills to keep your progress from stalling. And if you don't belong to a Masters program, then having two training partners instead of just one increases the chances that you'll have someone to swim with. Even if one person can't make it, there's still another buddy waiting for you.
Feel free to extend or reduce these workouts. They are just guidelines. Distance covered is not as important as using good technique. Happy laps!

THE BEGINNING : :SBR Sports Incorporated was established in 2003 by Karen Allard as the parent company of the TRISWIM line of Hair & Body products. The company acronym stands for Swim, Bike, Run, the endurance sports in a triathlon, from which Karen conceived the idea for her brand. A former stay-at-home Mom with a previous career in commercial real estate, Karen discovered a passion for triathlon in 2001 and has since become a leading age group triathlete and USAT Certified Coach. Her involvement in the sport drew her attention to the hazards of prolonged exposure to the chlorine and other chemicals used to maintain swimming pools that lead to hair and skin damage. Of the countless beauty products in the market, Karen found only a couple that addressed these problems. Unfortunately they proved to be not only cost prohibitive but disappointingly ineffective in dealing with her concerns. Karen realized then that she would have to produce her own solution. Consulting with some of the world's most renowned labs and award-winning chemists, Karen spent a year in development, carefully selecting the precise blend of healthy ingredients that would ultimately produce effective results. She then subjected each prototype to trials under the rigorous conditions of her athletic training. Consequently she arrived at the ideal products: salon quality grade shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion enhanced to safely remove chlorine, chemical pollutants and build up from hair and skin while locking in nourishing moisture. |
