TEAM TIMEX : :

"Any triathlete will tell you that their sport is an uncomfortable endeavor. To help manage those discomforts, The Timex Multisport Team chooses SBR products; TRSIWIM, TRISLIDE and FOGGLE. The quality products of SBR are used by all our athletes during training and racing"

A quote from Bruce Genarri, TEAM TIMEX's fastest swimmer!:

"Just wanted to let you know that the Tri Swim Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Wash and Lotion that we got in our Team Timex bags this year KICKS TOTAL ASS!  I swim in one of the hottest, overly chlorinated, dungeon of a pool on the face of the earth.  This stuff has been a lifesaver.  No longer do I smell like a pool two (2) to three (3) days later.  Is there anyway we can get more of this stuff?" -Bruce Genarri

TEAM TRAKKERS : :

"As triathletes we spend a lot of time in the pool.  Team Trakkers enthusiastically chooses to use TRISWIM products to remove the chloride residue from our hair and bodies, and nothing beats TRISLIDE to get in and out of those wetsuits successfully.  There is nothing better than SBR products for the needs of the athlete!"

"I feel like TRISLIDE was designed for that awkward moment while setting up your transition area and the sasquatch-looking guy racked next to you asks to borrow your lube.

Imagining him returning a deodorant stick covered in back hair is reason enough to love spray-on trislide. "
--Jameson Bull, Team Trakkers

"Did you give up swimming?" Heh-direct quote from one of my kiddos that I teach. You know the routine. Wake up at 4...poke around to try to make coffee...drink said coffee...hit the pool...hit the hot tub...shower and go to work.

So-I've been know to show up to work with goggle face and smelling like chlorine. Well-I still manage the goggle face, but I no longer smell like chlorinated funk! I smell like a nice citrus grove instead! Mmmmm. Citrus. Smells good enough to drink, but I wouldn't recommend that.

What's my secret? Do the Hollywood Stars do it too? That I don't know, but I do know all the super cool triathletes and swimmers are in on it... READ MORE
--Sherry Coulombe, Team Trakkers

"I just wanted to tell you how AMAZING TRISLIDE is. I cannot get over how well it works and the practicality of having it be a spray instead of a stick to rub on. I've actually been using it a lot for chaffing during running. Lurve."

UCLA IRON BRUIN TRIATHLON TEAM : :

"Now I can finally see the lane line clearly during my swim workouts; I can see which part of my stroke is actually pushing me forward. Since I don’t have to take my goggles off and splash them with water, the chlorine of the pool truly does stay out of my eyes and I do not endure the 'after-swim' eye sting. I always FOGGLE my goggles before a race so I can see my competitors clearly when I pass them in the water!"

The UCLA Triathlon Team is student-run organization and an official club sport of the UCLA Recreation Department. In addition to a structured coached program for students, UCLA Triathlon also provides coaching and a team atmosphere for staff, faculty, alumni, and community members.

MILLIE GOAT TANNER / Jet Cycling : :

"Milliegoat used TRISLIDE this weekend and won the State of California/Nevada TT Championships for Women 13-14!  She is a big believer in the product!  It works awesome, and she was pleased!"

POWLESS FAMILY : :

Shayna Powless : :

"All of your products are awesome and work very well. Every time I use the foggle for my goggles, they never fog up and I can actually see where I am swimming :-). Also, I really like the fresh scento f the hair products and body wash."

Shayna is 16 years old and XTERRA Regional Age Group Champion '10 and HS State MTB Champion '09, '10

Neilson Powless : :

"The TRISLIDE made my wetsuit feel like it was water sliding off my body. The FOGGLE made my goggles look amazingly clear. I'm going to keep using TRISLIDE and FOGGLE every time I race".

Neilson is 13 years old, is XTERRA West Sprint Overall Champion '10 and USAT National Age Group Champion '08

Jack Powless : :

"Your products are incredible. The shampoo, conditioner and body wash are the first products I've used that actually take away the chlorine smell. The lo tion is awesome becuase it doesn't leave my skin with that greasy feeling. The TRISLIDE is great. I spray it on before I ride and I also use it on my lower leg and around my wrists before I put on my wet suit, then I spray it on the exterior of the suit and it virtually falls off in my triathlon transitions. FOGGLE works great, no more spitting in my goggles. Thank you, thank you, thank you."

Jeanette Allred-Powless : :

"The body wash is my favorite product. I love the clean crisp smell and the fresh feel of the green gel. I've traded in my previous products and look forward to continued use of the TRISWIM body wash along with lotion and the other products too."

Jeanette was in the 1992 Barcelona Olympian-Marathon, American River College Track & X/C Coach, USATF Level 2 Coach, USAT Level 2 Coach and Certified Fitness Specialist.

SABIR MUHAMMAD : :

"I've been using TRISWIM  for two years and I love the product. As a swimmer I spend hours a day in the pool and my skin suffers. TRISWIM has one of the best lotions I've ever used and I really like the body wash.  TRISWIM  is a great product"

KARLYN PIPES-NEILSEN : :

"As a life-long competitive swimmer I spend 5-6 sessions in the pool a week. For years my perfume has been "eau de Chlorine." No more thanks to TRISWIM. Finally, there is a product that eliminates the chlorine smell from my hair and body from even from the worst of pools. The shampoo doesn't dry out my hair, the conditioner moisturizes without being slimy and the lotion has a clean, fresh scent. Thanks TRISWIM for stepping up and making a product that really works! "

Professional Swimmer Karlyn Pipes-Neilsen was recently inducted into the Internationals Masters Swimming Hall of Fame. Karlyn has set over 180 FINA Masters World Records spanning four age-groups and has set a WR in every stroke!

BRUCKNER CHASE : :

"As a marathon swimmer and ocean lifeguard instructor I spend almost all of my training and coaching time in the ocean.  TRISWIM means that I can leave the chlorine and saltwater behind at the end of the day.  

TRISLIDE keeps my hands clean, won’t melt all over my gear and lets me reapply between sessions.  

Most importantly, FOGGLE keeps my goggles and sunglasses clear.   Whether the water is 40 degrees or 80 - whether it’s a 1:00 AM start or a 1:00 PM finish I need to be able to see the support boat and be able to tell the good fins from the bad ones.

Bruckner Chase is a marathon swimmer and ocean lifeguard. More on Bruckner.

HEATHER GOLLNICK : :

"I love the TRISWIM products! With swimming a lot and not being a real blonde, I need to get the chlorine out of my hair and TRISWIM helped my hair not only smell great but stay blonde. The TRISWIM lotion leaves my skin smelling and feeling fresh and clean with no chlorine smell."

FELIPE LOUREIRO : :

"The TRISWIM products have been a great addition to my life. I've been swimming at least 3-4 days a week for the past 15 years which means I've had to live with 'chlorine hair' for that long... until I started using TRISWIM. Even my wife noticed the difference the week I started using it. She didn't smell the chlorine in my hair and the usual straw looking appearance changed into normal, healthy looking hair-- I never thought it was possible. I guess I had just got used to living with dry, chlorine-smelling hair. I am so glad that TRISWIM hit the market."

Currently 32 and residing in San Diego, California, Felipe is a USA Triathlon Level I certified coach as well as a certified NCSF personal trainer. Felipe grew up in Brazil and remembers when he was 10 years old and his dad began training for triathlons. Two years later, at 12 years old, he followed in his dad's footsteps and competed in his first triathlon... and since then, he's raced in over 300 triathlon races around the world, including 2 Ironmans. More on Felipe.

CAROLE SHARPLESS : :

"I have been using the TRISWIM products for years. As a swimmer, I am always concerned about what the harsh chlorine will do to my hair, and hate the lingering smell of chlorine on my body. The shampoo and conditioner always seem to strip my hair of the chemical residue, leaving it soft and healthy. The body wash scrub and lotion refresh my skin and leave me smelling great. I have hooked many people on these products and highly recommend them!"

In the summer of 1996, Carole competed in her first sprint triathlon at the urging of a fellow Masters Swim Class member. Now, a decade since that first triathlon, Carole has climbed her way through the ranks of the sport and is now living her dream as a Professional Triathlete. Carole is known as one of the nicest, most approachable athletes on the pro circuit. More on Carole.

TIM HOLA : :

" I have been using TRISLIDE skin-lubricant for my runs and it works great on my feet to prevent blisters. And the TRISWIM product line is exactly what I have been looking for. Ever since I started swimming 25 years ago, I have always had swimmers hair; that chlorine bleached hair that made me smell like a swimming pool. I could not find a remedy until I discovered TRISWIM. The Organic Aloe Vera in addition to the other ingredients in TRISWIM make it so that I look forward to swim workouts. I know I'll be fresh and clean after each and every time in the pool. Perhaps the best part is that the TRISWIM lotion makes me feel and smell terrific when I put on my suit for work!"

Currently 34, Tim is entering his 14th year racing triathlons. He was a swimmer since he was 7, swam through high school, and then joined the rowing team at the University of Iowa in 1993. Running was a large part of his rowing training, and he already was a swimmer, so Tim soon began biking and did his first triathlon with his dad in 1995 in Des Moines, IA. He has been hooked ever since and is always looking for that next challenge. Since that 1st race, some of his top honors have been: Triathlete Magazine's 2005 Amateur Triathlete of the Year, Triathlete Magazines 2006 Amateur Triathlete of the Year - Honorable Mention, 5th American at 2006 Ironman Hawaii (8:58), 1st Overall 2005 US 1/2 Ironman National Championship, 6th Overall at 2006 Timberman Triathlon, 13th Overall at 2005 Ironman Florida.

PATRICK EVOE : :

"Once I started using TriSwim shampoo, conditioner, and lotion I no longer had “straw hair” and itchy dry skin after swim practice. Friends used to tell me how dry my skin looked after I had swam, but it’s now no longer a problem."

GRADY FUNK : :

"FOGGLE is another great idea and product from SBR Sports, Inc. makers of TRISWIM and TRISLIDE. I had no idea how dirty my goggles were until I used FOGGLE. I felt like they were brand new after I gave them a wipe. It makes finding those feet in a race that much easier!! You can really get the dirt off with the cloth compared to the standard spray products that you typically find."

Grady Funk is an elite triathlete, having competed in both 70.3 and Ironman distance races all over the world. More on Grady.

BRAD SENG : :

"Just a quick note to tell you how happy I was in using TRISLIDE on my feet to prevent blisters while running my first ultra over the weekend. I ran the High Desert 50K in Ridgecrest, CA and applied TRISLIDE to the bottoms and toes on both my feet. After challenging 31 miles over trails and jeep roads in the Mojave I was ecstatic to have no blisters from the effort and crossed the line as the overall winner in 3:27."

"In addition, the FOGGLE is awesome!"

More on Brad.

MAC BROWN : :

"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!"

Mac Brown is 4 time USA Triathlon All-American and 2 time Inside Triathlon All-American. This will be Mac's first full year racing as a pro. He was injured from day 1 last season and will return to a high level of competition this season. Mac's goal is to qualify again for the Ironman World Championship in Kona this October. This is also the first year Mac is coaching the triathlon team at UCSD. Mac says his biggest accomplishment was finishing as the 6th American and 4th amateur in the world at the Kona Ironman Championships in 2007. More on Mac.

TRISTA FRANCIS : :

"When I first began swimming, I didn't notice any real issues with the chlorine, but after about 18 months, I noticed my skin was getting extremely dry and I was not seeing any results from over the counter products. I began using some pricey and highly scented body wash and lotion to try and mask the smell of the chlorine and moisturize, this worked temporarily but then I began having breakouts from the products because of all the perfumes. I was so happy when I was given a sample of the TRISWIM Body Wash and Lotion. Since then, I've been using these products and all my issues have been resolved! Thanks TRISWIM!"

WAYNE KURTZ / UltraTriathlete (Double, Triple, Quintuple and DECA Ironman) : :

" I love the TRISLIDE that I picked up at the San Diego Tri Expo earlier in the year. Of course in the long, long races that I do, I always have to re-apply every other product (trust me in 25 years of racing, I tried almost everything :-)). Your nifty product held up well with a recent 12 hour running race. Look forward to using in for a full 24 hours with a race next month."

Wayne finished 5th overall in 2009 DECA Ironman and first American to finish the race in the “per day” format.

KAREN ROGERS : :

"As a marathon swimmer I spend 6 days per week in the water. It doesn't matter if I am swimming in chlorine or salt water, TRISWIM keeps my skin and hair soft and happy. "

JOE BONNESS : :

"The FOGGLE worked great! Both my goggles and helmet visor have stayed clear since I wiped them with the FOGGLE towelette. Generally, I have to clear my goggles after a half hour. It was real nice (and faster) being able to keep good eye sight over the whole course."

MARTHA SZUFNAROWSKI : :

"I have used the TRISWIM products for years now – and recently gave a whole set to my kids after they complained of smelling strongly like chlorine from our new community pool. The organic products are safe and gentle for the kids, and they love the smell and feel of the body wash and lotion as well as the shampoo and conditioner. Our whole family has tubes of TRISWIM products in our swim bags and showers now! "

DANIEL DE CAROLIS : :

"Initially I bought TRISLIDE for use with my wetsuit but it turns out that TRISLIDE is very versatile and simply the best anti-chafing product out there! No more messy fingers from chamois cremes prior to long rides on my bike. It sprays on very easily and works!"

RYAN HUMES : :

"I've been using the TRISWIM chlorine-out products for a few years now and nothing works better for getting that itchy dryness out of my hair and off my body after a pool session. The scent is clean and fresh, but not overpowering. When I'm swimming open water, TRISLIDE is the absolute best product, not only for getting the wetsuit on and off, but also for maintaining the integrity of the suit."

Ryan is an elite athlete competing in Ironman and International distance races. A few of Ryan's racing accomplishments: 2007 Inaugural Pasadena Triathlon Champion! 2006 USAT All-American(25-29); and 2006 USAT Aquathlon National Champion(25-29). More on Ryan.

KEVIN KOSKELLA : :

“By using the TRISWIM products, I have been able to kill the chlorine smell from my skin and replace it with a pleasant citrus smell. What sold me on TRISWIM (besides the name) was waking up the next day after swimming and not smelling chlorine on myself! If I use the body wash and then the lotion immediately afterward, my dry skin is completely minimized. The chlorine fighting shampoo has also allowed my hair to grow normally again instead of breaking off. I highly recommend these products if you are swimming in typical highly chlorinated pools. Excellent Frangrance(citrus). Effectiveness: Wonderful. These products worked the best for me. Overall Rating: 5/5."
