WELCOME : :

TRISWIM was orginally developed out of a need for a quality chlorine out shampoo and skin care product for swimmers. Developed and distributed by our privately owned parent company, SBR Sports, Inc., the ingredients in TRISWIM work to neutralize Chlorine and Chlorine odor on your skin and in your hair. TRISWIM has up to 5 sequestering agents which assist in containing the chlorine, grabbing a hold of it, and washing the chemical down the drain. Not only does TRISWIM detoxify, but with our innovative formula, it also hydrates and nourishes with ingredients such as Organic Aloe Vera, Vitamin A and E, and ProVitamin B5.

But that was just the beginning. Now, we're constantly seeking greater ways to provide products, programs and information that not only keep you comfortable and keep you competitive, but that also promote total body health.

ATHLETE FEEDBACK : :

Tim Hola (pictured) has just competed at the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii with an impressive time of 9:17:13, getting him 5th place in his age-group. Tim and his wife, Nikki, are also featured in the November issue of Triathlete Magazine. In 2008, Tim was named "One of The Fittest Real Men in America" by Outside Magazine and Triathlete Magazine's 2005 Triathlete of the Year.

How many years have you competed in Kona? This year will be my 11th Year in a row at Kona. My 1st was in 1999 when I was 25. What is your most memorable moment or best year in Kona? I'd have to say it was in 2006. I was about 1 mile from the finish, doing a quick calculation on my Timex Bodylink to see if I could finish in under 9 hours. After digging so deep and my legs feeling like they were going to come off my body, I finished in 8:58 and 2nd in my Age Group.

Mac Brown (pictured) finished 8th at Ironman Wisconsin on September 16th and ended up securing a Kona slot for 2010 !

Mac recently gave us his feedback on FOGGLE and TRISWIM. "My friend, fellow triathlete Grady Funk, gave me the FOGGLE, TRISWIM Conditioner, Shampoo, Body Wash and Lotion samples last month and I have used them all thoroughly. I use the FOGGLE every time I swim now because my old goggles always tend to fog up! Instead of buying new pairs, I just use the wipes to get more use out of my current goggles. I was also up in Utah for 2 weeks training and the air up there is very dry. I was doing a great deal of training and my skin was becoming VERY DRY. Once I started using the TRISWIM lotion, I never had any problems with dry skin. I will highly recommend all these products to my training partners, coached athletes and friends in the future!"

SWIM KIDS : :

According to a new study, children who swim in pools that are 'over treated' with chlorine may have an increased risk for allergies or asthma. Adolescents who have spent 1,000 hours or more swimming were eight times more likely to develop asthma. Chlorine is effective when used correctly, but too much chlorine irritates organs. Chlorine also irritates the skin, upper respiratory tract, and eyes. This study is published in the September 2009 issue of Pediatrics.

The best advice from leading dermatologists suggests using a chlorine out shampoo and chlorine out body wash immediately after swimming. This helps to prevent the lasting effects of overexposure such as dryness, itching, hay fever and other allergies.

CHLORINE AND COPPER FACTS : : UPDATED

Chlorine, used in swimming pools, is a bleach and it does have a damaging effect on hair. Not only does it affect the texture and color of the hair, but it can also weaken hair at the follicle. Magazines often have advertisements for products that are designed to protect the hair from chlorine damage but many of these products on the market will 'strip' the chlorine from your hair. The ingredients in TRISWIM products work to gently cleanse hair and remove elements without using harsh ingredients and help prevent further damage to hair and skin while swimming.

While we are on the subject of swimmer's hair, let's add some info about sun damage. The same vitamins that can help heal sunburns can also soothe skin and even prevent damage.

Until now, the only defense our skin has had against sunburn was sunscreens. Research confirms some of the UVB radiation from the sun which is not blocked by sunscreens can penetrate into the epidermis layers of the skin and cause sunburn.

Application of vitamin C and vitamin E in the appropriate topical formulation applied to the skin under a UVB sunscreen with zinc oxide can add protection against UVB damage, including sunburn. Even after sun exposure and sunburn damage, vitamin C and vitamin E, when applied in an appropriate topical formulation, can help prevent skin damage due to the anti-inflammatory properties of these antioxidant vitamins.
