Brand History

It all started in the water nearly 20 years ago. Our love for the sport of swimming led us to create a company immersed in designing, testing, and refining the best swimming products on the planet.
Our products have been sought out and worn by Olympic medalists, World Champion swimmers, Ironman Champions and extreme endurance swimmers. We agonize over details that provide these athletes with a competitive advantage that their competition misses. While our products are engineered for world-class athletes, they are also the obvious choice for those with more modest goals. Whether trying to be the fastest in the world or set a personal best, blueseventy makes the ideal products to help you achieve your goals.
