In its tenure, the team has won 12 Junior National Championships and one U.S. National Club Championship.

“I have watched TYR from a distance the past few years and observed their relationship with not only their professional athlete but their sponsored teams both college and club,” Davis shared. “I have been extremely impressed on all fronts. Our entire coaching staff is excited about Swim Atlanta's future with such an outstanding company as TYR.”
In addition to a continued dedication to redefining the next generation of performance swimwear and accessories, TYR is passionate about supporting swim programs, individual athletes, and coaches worldwide.
