A3 Performance, a global leader in swimwear innovation, is proud to announce its newest partnership with two-time Olympic medalist and NCAA Champion, Katharine Berkoff. This partnership marks a powerful and intentional step forward in A3’s mission to support and empower the next generation of swimmers to unleash their unstoppable.
A powerhouse in the pool and a formidable presence on the international stage, Katharine brings relentless drive, world-class performance, and a deep love for the sport – making her a perfect fit for A3 Performance’s mission to empower the next generation of champions.
“We’re beyond excited to partner with Katharine and support her in this next chapter,” said Dan Meinholz, CEO and Founder of A3 Performance. “Her relentless pursuit of excellence and dynamic presence both in and out of competition align perfectly with our brand’s vision for innovation and inspiration.

The announcement coincides with the exciting launch of A3 Performance’s newest elite tech suit, PRANA, which was recently released for pre-order. The PRANA racing suit is engineered for hydrodynamic dominance and designed to support a swimmer’s mind-body connection – helping them swim not just with strength and speed, but with presence, awareness, and unstoppable inner power.
Berkoff competed in A3’s newest tech suit during her record-breaking run at the 2025 U.S. National Championships, where she set the new American Record and U.S. Open Record in the 50-meter backstroke with a time of 26.97 – the second-fastest in world history.
“I’m proud to join a brand that’s truly focused on helping athletes perform their best and feel their best, both physically and mentally,” said Berkoff. “Working with a brand I believe in and racing in a suit that gives me the confidence to perform at my best means everything to me. In PRANA, I truly feel the difference, and when you are swimming against the best athletes in the world, you have to believe you are in the best suit.”
Berkoff will represent A3 Performance as she trains and competes at the 2025 World Aquatics Championships in Singapore and beyond.
