ISOBAR is delighted to announce an innovation partnership with Aquatics GB, the governing body for Swimming, Diving, Synchronized Swimming, Water Polo, and Open Water Swimming in Great Britain. This collaboration aims to enhance the performance and recovery of Aquatics GB athletes using our cutting-edge sports compression technology.
This partnership follows a successful trial at the 2024 World Championship in Doha, where elite swimmers were the first to use the ISOBAR custom sports recovery 2-layer system. Athletes provided overwhelmingly positive feedback, praising the custom fit, precise pressure, and accelerated recovery benefits. This success has paved the way for forming an innovation partnership between Aquatics GB and ISOBAR.
Drew Barrand, Chief Executive Officer at Aquatics GB said: “On this innovative step for the organisation, Aquatics GB CEO Drew Barrand said: "We are very excited to be partnering with ISOBAR and to bring them into the aquatics high-performance family at a hugely exciting time for our athletes and sports, heading into the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games and beyond. We know that we share a common drive to find new ways to support our athletes' performance and ensure they are confident that their recovery is the best it can be, as we strive for excellence in and out of the water."
Anna Hopkin, Aquatics GB Olympic Gold Medallist said: “I really like the ISOBAR sportswear, they’re very useful to have between races and because they’re compact, you can put them in your bag and use them when needed and they massively help aid recovery between heats and finals.
What makes them really stand out is the options to increase or decrease the compression. Having just the socks or both the socks and calf sleeves readily available means and I can put them both on immediately after a race and it’s a huge advantage for me.”
Clive Gunther, CEO at ISOBAR said: "We are thrilled to partner with Aquatics GB, a team that represents the pinnacle of aquatic sports. Our mission is to provide athletes with the best tools to succeed, and we are confident that our compression technology will make a significant impact on their recovery and performance.
Our custom compression sportswear has been developed over 20 years with input from leading sports scientists and professional athletes, delivering results beyond expectation.”
This partnership underscores Aquatics GB’s commitment to leveraging the latest advancements in sports science and technology to support their athletes. With ISOBAR’s compression expertise, Aquatics GB is poised to enhance the training regimens and recovery protocols of their athletes, positioning them for even greater success in upcoming competitions.
