COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – USA Swimming announced on Thursday that its partnership with Speedo is extended through Dec. 31, 2024, to support and inspire the next generation of swimmers.
A proud partner of USA Swimming since 1985, Speedo’s continued commitment to premier competition is highlighted by naming rights and event support for Sectionals, Junior National Championships and Winter Junior National Championships – some of the biggest competitive opportunities for exceptional young athletes. Further, Speedo invests in growth at the grassroots level of the sport with product and program support for learn-to-swim programs connected to USA Swimming and the USA Swimming Foundation.
“Speedo continues to be an extremely valued partner to us,” USA Swimming President and CEO Tim Hinchey III said. “Their commitment to athletes and coaches from grassroots through elite competition helps to propel our sport forward. And their continued focus on providing better access to water for more children in underserved communities is a value we proudly share. For over 35 years we have stood next to Speedo, and we are excited to foster this important collaboration through 2024.”
Through March, thousands of young athletes are competing in the spring short course Speedo Sectionals, where best times and emerging stars converge on thirteen venues throughout the United States. Then the long course season peaks with the summer portion of the Speedo Sectionals with four locations in July.
