USA Swimming recently launched new kits for the national team ahead of the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics.
The new kit, which is in collaboration with TYR, includes headgear, footwear, technical apparel, and accessories that the American athletes will don during the walkouts while stepping on the swim deck during the competition, media day appearances, and training camps.
The athletes will sport white long puffer jackets with "USA" and "TYR" imbibed on the front and the national flag on the left bicep and will be provided with CXT-1 Trainer shoes. For warmup and other preparation, the American swimmers will wear TYR’s Hydrosphere Softshell Recon Jacket and Elevation Tech Jogger.
The fans have the opportunity to view the 2024 U.S. Olympic swimming team's new kit at the ongoing and final leg of the 2024 TYR Pro Swim Series at the Northside Swim Center, San Antonio, Texas.
Apart from its stunning looks, the new kit also serves its purpose of functionality remarkably. The venzo, manufactured by using ultra-smooth fiber, will help the athlete analyze drag from a microscopic view. The TYR Hydrosphere Elite Down Parka, crafted after filling 400 GSM thermo waterproof fabrication, will provide the athletes with warmth.
