Shipping to Switzerland has been fixed and is now FREE

Hey everyone, I'm glad to announce to you that the bug regarding the shipping to Switzerland has been fixed and is now included for every pledge to Switzerland.

For those who already paid for the shipping to Switzerland, you can choose to be refunded or to receive a complimentary credit of 5.- CHF on top of what you already paid for shipping (which makes a total of 20.- CHF) for you to spend on the Add-on shop. Send me an email at [email protected] and we'll sort it out.

I am hesitating between several sizes, how stretch is the swimwear?

If you hesitate between several sizes, we suggest taking the smaller one as our swimwear is very stretch. This is because our swimwear is made of regenerated High-Grade Nylon 6, a stronger and more stretchable material than Polyester (which is used in all swimwear nowadays, you can check yours).  As a result, our swimwear will be more comfortable, fit most body shape, while having a better recovery than a Polyester-made suit.

As a benchmark, our tallest Men swimmer is 190 cm for 81 Kg and is wearing ML size.

Our tallest Women swimmer is 179 cm 67 Kg and is wearing ML size. 

In any case, if you have any doubt, you can shoot me an email with your height/weight and I'll suggest the best size for you : [email protected]

The Crusader Tech Suit : too performant to be approved ?

Last month we talked about our the development of our very first Tech Suit made of recycled material : the Crusader.

It was submitted to the FINA for the certification but unfortunately our Tech Suit wasn't approved. The reason ? Our suit was too performant ! 

To be more precise, the performance of a tech suit is linked to several factors such as compression, construction and water repellency. One of the major key FINA test is to test the air permeability of the suit. It needs to be above 80L/m2 to ensure that the suit doesn't provide an advantage for the swimmer (the less air permeability, the better glide on the water).

Unfortunately our suit air permeability fell below the treshold.

To be honest we didn't expect this result. But it means one thing : we succeeded in making a high-performance suit that could potentially compete with the most advanced tech suit on the market.

This result is a bummer for sure, but we are now confident that we can make it next time.

Second partnership signed

So excited for our second partnership with a Swiss swimming club : The Yverdon Swimming club.

It was one of the first club that we contacted and their elite swimmers helped us fine tuning our prototypes and shoot our Kickstarter video and so we are very excited for this collaboration.🤩

Founded in 1925, the CNY (Cercle des Nageurs d'Yverdon) is a key swimming club located in the Northern Vaud Area with more than 160 swimmers, 260 swimming kids, and 20 water polo players.💪

They aim to promote and teach swimming, and educate on the sportsmanship values.
We totally are aligned with their mission. 

This partnership will help both CN Yverdon and Shark Rebellion to grow and promote swimming and sustainability in the region.🌊

Stay tuned & Keep rocking.
