TYR's brands of hi-technology fabric swimwear are the Aqua Shift, Aquapel, and Fusion 2 which it claims will reduce drag.
TYR Sports is a subsidiary of Swimwear Anywhere, the second-largest swimwear manufacturer in the United States. [1]. Its chief competitors for market share are Speedo, the largest simwear manufacturer in the U.S., and Nike, the sporting goods manufacturer which has a swimwear line.
