As swim kit partner, the brand has agreed to supply wetsuits, goggles and caps to the event until 2018.
Launched in 2008, Great Swim is Europe’s biggest open water swim series, staging events at lakes, lochs and urban docks across the UK.
The five events attract nearly 25,000 swimmers of all abilities, who take part in a range of swim distances, from half a mile to 5k.
“The Great Swim Series is all about taking on the challenge of swimming in the great outdoors in carefully selected, safe urban and rural locations,” Martin Newton of Aqua Sphere UK says.
“Swimmers range from open water novices to Olympic champions and the festival atmosphere at each location adds to the adventure and fantastic sense of achievement for all involved, whatever the distance chosen.
“Our brand ethos is to ensure swimmers feel as comfortable as possible in the water, with goggles which fit beautifully while delivering excellent 180-degree vision and wetsuits which afford the best possible blend of movement and buoyancy.
“The right kit is the essential starting point.
“After that, whether people wish to complete their chosen distance at a leisurely pace or are geared up for a personal best, we look forward to seeing more people dive into their first Great Swim over the next few years and to sharing in their own personal adventure.”
Taking place from June-September, the five Great Swim events are the Great North Swim (Windermere, June 12-15); the Great East Swim, (Alton Water, Suffolk, June 20); the Great Manchester Swim (Salford Quays, July 4); the Great Scottish Swim (Loch Lomond, August 29); and the Great London Swim Royal (Victoria Docks, July 18).
