It’s only a big deal at the Sectional level meets and higher

Maybe things have changed, but we belonged to a large tyr sponsored team and were told all kids needed tyr goggles for races, to stop bringing their speedo logo towels to meets, and to stop wearing speedo slides. Age 7 and 10 at the time. Covid hit shortly thereafter, so maybe they loosened up afterwards.

I hope not. We are happy with our Speedo googles and caps. I am not switching those to TYR.

“They told us to stop wearing speedo sandals”

“Well I’m not switching my speedo goggles”

“Nobody said anything about switching goggles”

“Well I’m not switching my speedo goggles”

I know Ledecky and Bacon are sponsored by tyr but that can’t be the only reason to switch

Why is everything a sign of financial trouble?

Because the OP is an NCAP hater.

There are so many NCap haters- and they’re all right!

I’m guessing that you cry “drama” every time you don’t like what you hear. I’m just reporting what we were told as swim parents. This was a team where you had to jump through hoops and be poised at your laptop just to secure a time slot to try out for 8u and 10u. The club did not even bother holding tryouts for any kid 11+ because they were so full. 11+ kids submitted their times online and hoped for the best. In other words, they wielded a lot of power over the parents because NY is a madhouse and there are very few pools, and therefore very few opportunities for kids who want to be on a team.

On a side note, I saw some of the NY teams at NCAP invite and the swimmers are crazy fast!

I’m simply trying to tell you that NCAP is not like your NYC team but you are refusing to accept that for some reason. At very high level meets a TYR suit will be required. At everything else they do not care what you race in.

Maybe it’s actually Speedo as a company that in trouble because they aren’t capable of holding up their end of the bargain for the large teams.

Ever very thought of that OP?

NP - we're a Machine family and yes, they switched to Tyr before the 2023 - 2024 season started. No complaints about the Tyr swag we get as part of our dues.

Correct they switched to Tyr a few years ago. It is great as we not get a discount on Tyr items including tech suits.
not a sign of financial issues, just likely better deals and support.

Speedo is an Australian company. Ugast is getting ahead of the tariff issues for us all.

Does Sports Fair carry TYR?

The other part of the NCAP deal is they are going to be their own dealers of TYR products and will no longer have to pair with stores like SportFair, which I think carries Arena and Speedo.

It doesn’t matter. The whole point seems to be that they don’t have to go through a middle man… such as metro swim shop….
