Open Water World Trials


With his astonishing win, Mark Warkentin is ranked as the top American contender for a spot for the Olympic open water event. He'll earn a spot by placing in the top 10 in either two events: FINA World Championship in April or FINA Olympic Marathon Qualifer in June. Way to go Mark!

Olympic Open Water Venue


The Shunyi Olympic Rowing-Canoeing Park is the Olympic venue for the open water 10K event. This is the first time open water swimming will be an Olympic event. History in the making!

Kona Ironman World Championship

TJ Tollakson competes in his first Kona Championship. As you see, he enjoyed every step of the most recognized and elite Ironman race. This is true passion for sport.

At the Kona World Championship, Desiree Ficker took time before the race to chat with inspiring young triathletes. Desiree is wearing our new 2008 Multi-Sport Running Skirt. So cute!

The women's Kona champion wore our TYR Triathlon Singlet and Race Short. What a great event!

Olympic Trials Countdown


The Olympic Trials will kick off on June 29, 2008. The countdown is on, right Matt! The entire city of Omaha is getting fired up for the biggest domestic swimming event of the year.

Can You Feel it?

The Qwest Omaha arena will transform into to 50meter pool. Hard to imagine the rink will be covered with gallons of water and thousands of cheering fans.

In the Zone

Swimmers and fans will take a break at the Qwest Omaha Convention Center, located right next to the swimming venue. There will be an Aqua Zone and media rooms at the Convention Center. The TYR hotel is just blocks away from the competition pool and Qwest.

A crisp morning doesn't keep our guys away from the race course.

Ryan Dolan, Matt DiLorenzo, David Miller and Jeremy Tongish take a break from the race day fun!

Jeremy Tongish with his wife Adele, run side by side. Who will cross the finish line first?

TYR sponsors the Mighty Hamptons Triathlon that takes place not too far from the Farmingdale headquarters of Swimwear Anywhere.

Lebanon Hosts Swim Meet

You can see our TYR all around the pool from the flags to the banners at the Lebanon swim meet. Spectators watch from the balconies to get a part of the poolside fun.

Ready, Set...Go

With all of the political unrest in Lebanon, it's heartwarming to see kids still being kids. Our Lebanese partner gets TYR involved to support the local swim meet.

CSI Miami - Aqua Shift


Here's another fun segment of CSI Miami featuring our Aqua Shift Full Body. The CSI producer got the concept for the Aqua Shift photo shoot after TYR told them that we were planning our Tracer Light shoot.

CSI Miami - Swim Meet Murder


The intro to CSI Miami was full of TYR gear. You'll see our Diamondback with Stripping, Microback in lime green, Alliance jammers, TYR caps and goggles. Great TYR presence!

2008 Triathlon Photo Shoot


Our triathletes, Pip Taylor, TJ Tollakson and Jamie Whitmore participated in our photo shoot at a studio in Huntington Beach. They were gracious enough to slip away from training for the Los Angeles Triathlon. The TYR Tri elite wore our 2008 Triathlon Collection. They loved the new Triathlon line especially the fit and the new colors.

Interbike Athlete Signing - TJ Tollakson


TJ will be competing at his first Ironman World Championship in just 2 weeks. He's one of the up and coming triathletes in the sport of triathlon. At the Florida 70.3 Ironman, he set the race's bike record and finished as the top American.

Interbike Athlete Signing - Becky Lavelle


Becky Lavelle joined the Interbike team for a day of autograph signings. She is a great sport. At times, there were some interesting fans requesting pictures with her.

To our surprise, a few days after she left Las Vegas, she competed at the Tinley's Triathlon. She rocked it! She won the event while our male triathlete Greg Remaly won the men's event. This lines Becky up for a strong chance to win the overall Tri Cal Series. She also won Wildflower and Pacific Grove Triathlon. Last year, she won the Tri Cal Series.

Interbike - Models


TYR models showed off the new line. Lively new colors and technical features. It will be a strong line.

Interbike - Dolan TV Debut


Ryan's a natural in front of the camera! Competitor Magazine TV did a segment on the new 2008 Tracer Light technical piece.

Interbike - Booth


TYR's booth at Interbike was impressive. We had a great location right near the front of the show. You can get lost at the show, since it's so big. Luckily, TYR had a banner hanging from the ceiling to easily locate the booth.
