Seal Beach, CA- October 14, 2020- TYR Sport is proud to announce that it has been selected as the exclusive swimwear supplier for SwimMac Carolina.
Founded by five families in 1977, SwimMAC has always been tuned into the local community. Within two years of its onset, the MAC program grew to 60 swimmers and continued to grow dramatically over the next several years. Between 1980 and 1985, the MAC family included more than 300 competitive swimmers, and developed into one of the largest learn-to-swim programs in the country. Continued growth and partnership within the local community has allowed the program to expand into the seven-facility network and ten-thousand member organization it is today.
SwimMAC Carolina has a long history of excellence both in and out of the pool. Named as one of the top swim clubs in the nation for the past decade by USA Swimming through its Club Excellence program, SwimMac is very proud of its student-athletes, who consistently make up one of the largest contingencies on USA Swimming’s annual Scholastic All-America Team. SwimMAC accumulated the largest number of USA Swimming Scholastic All-American athletes in the country in 2020, and many of their swimmers have gone on to be highly regarded recruits sought out by colleges across the country.
“SwimMAC is excited about our new partnership with TYR as the interactions to date have been just that, a partnership,” said head coach Eric Lane. “The customer service and relationships with various parts of our program have been top-notch. TYR’s commitment to anticipating our swimmers' needs is evident by the fabrics they choose, the quality of their apparel materials, and the tech suit patterns they produce, that are both comfortable and technologically advanced.”
“SwimMAC has an incredible history, not only for the success of its competitive teams, but also for its ability to serve the local community with its invaluable learn-to-swim programming,” began Matt DiLorenzo, Chief Executive Officer of TYR Sport. “Their mission to empower young people to be champions in life through excellence in swimming, aligns with our core company values.”

Seal Beach, CA — July 29, 2019 — After a storied career, 7x Olympic Medalist, 16x World Championship Medalist and American Record Holder Dana Vollmer has announced she will retire from competitive swimming after this summer’s USA Swimming Nationals.
“Other parts of my life are asking for my time and attention. This week I am leaving elite level swimming. This is not letting go of a dream; it’s having the ambition to start a new one! While it is sad to see this chapter of my life coming to a close, I do it with a full heart,” said Vollmer.
At just twelve years of age Dana Vollmer began her quest for Olympic success as the youngest swimmer to compete in the 2000 Olympic trials. Today, the butterfly specialist is a 5x Olympic gold medalist, and has broken and set world records at the games in both Athens and London. Dana is the first woman in history to ever swim the 100m butterfly in under 56 seconds, which still stands as the fastest time ever recorded by an American. She made her most recent Olympic appearance in Rio de Janeiro after having her first child, and is affectionately known today as the "Momma on a Mission." In addition to earning seven Olympic medals, she has also earned sixteen world championship medals over the course of her career.
“Dana has left an incredible legacy on the sport of swimming, and we will always be proud to call her part of the TYR family,” said Matt DiLorenzo, CEO of TYR Sport. “We look forward to supporting Dana in the next phase of her career, and congratulate her on all her remarkable achievements.”
Fans will have a final chance to see Vollmer race the 100 butterfly at Stanford’s Avery Aquatic Center on Friday, August 2nd, where she will also be signing autographs. To read Vollmer’s personal letter on her decision to retire, please visit http://blog.tyr.com.
