“One of the most striking facts is that Dolfin® has continued to grow in a very crowded and competitive market.” says Matt Zimmer, “I think it’s a great compliment to be considered the number one brand in practice suits – swimmers all over the world know how well our suits look and hold-up under the hours of training they do. I know we have the same opportunity in a number of areas around the deck, and I’m excited to help guide us there.”
