Slowman: Better swimmer in that Team Challenge ad???
Quote | Reply
Seriously, that dude in the orange looks like he's going to drown any minute. Every time i see that guy he just makes me cringe, kind of like when someone drags their fingernails on the blackboard. You need a swimmer with good form in that ad!!! He's giving triathlon swimmers a bad name...oh wait...er, a worse name:)

Absolutely the same thing I was thinking, and I have the same reaction when I see it; I cringe.

While he may look like he in not a front of the pack swimmer, he certainly has good taste in goggle choice!

As an aside, is aquasphere still involved with M Phelps?

Well, that's where the idea came from.. Our parent company Aqua Lung is the largest dive manufacturer in the world. We developed the first swim mask, the Seal Mask in 1998. The Seal is what you see in the photo. You can also get this mask with a nose piece, and they are insanely popular for free diving.

Off Topic.. M Phelps? Short answer yes.

Long answer: Have you visited our Facebook page as of recent? There is an announcement, about a pending announcement in our cover photo.

We have some fun stuff coming. A little at a time, but the development of products is a process. So there will be a few products this year, and more in 2016, and more in 2017.

Perhaps that's an accurate representation of Team Challenge. Put in a good swimmer and we'd be screaming about false advertising.

The reason I was asking about phelps was because he had his troubles last year, and I hadn't seen any phelps-branded gear come out yet. Championship meets are approaching very shortly, and Tyr just debuted the Avictor suit (which I think looks awesome, nice change from black or monochromatic tech suits)

I know you were just pulling my leg, and the view that a lot of people share about a swim mask. That said, these masks help a lot of people get over their fear of the water. Goggles aren't a fashion accessory after all.

I can't let the cat out of the bag all the way. That would ruin the fun.

That would explain why he is flailing around like that. He just crashed his bike into the lake and would like some help getting it out.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

Ya, that's why virtually his entire head is out of the water, but alas, no response from Slowman:)

You guys don't get the context:

He is so far ahead of everybody, he can barely spot them....


Sublime messages are not for everybody.
