Dolfin Swimwear<\/a>, the fastest growing swimwear company in the country, is honored to announce its sponsorship of two-time United States Paralympic swimmer Roy Perkins<\/strong>. Following his success at the 2008 and 2012 Paralympic games, Perkins is again in pursuit of the podium in Rio this year.<\/p>\n

Born without hands or feet, Perkins didn\u2019t even learn to swim until he was 12 years old.\u00a0 But once he got in the pool, there was no stopping him.\u00a0 In fact, his second swim meet ever was the 2004 Paralympic Trials \u2013 although he didn\u2019t qualify, he broke several American records and was encouraged by his times.<\/p>\n

The Stanford graduate, with a degree in Earth Systems, reflects that he didn\u2019t really \u2018love\u2019 swimming until the 2008 Beijing Paralympics, when he began to embrace competing internationally. In Beijing, Perkins won gold in the 50m Butterfly and bronze in the 100m Freestyle. Over the next four years, he continued to compete at the elite level, and again earned a spot on the 2012 Paralympic team.\u00a0 Perkins brought home four medals from London \u2013 two silver in 100m Freestyle and 50m Butterfly and two bronze in 50m Freestyle and 200m Freestyle.<\/p>\n

2015 was a year of accomplishments for Perkins, earning multiple medals at the U.S. Paralympic Swimming Can-Am Open in December and the IPC Swimming World Championships in July.\u00a0 Now, he\u2019s riding this momentum into 2016 with Dolfin in tow. \u201cDolfin is on the cutting edge of racing technology and I’m excited to be part of a team, and more importantly a family, to help me win in Rio,<\/em>\u201d said Perkins.<\/p>\n

Dolfin Swimwear is equally excited to be working with a world-class athlete like Perkins. \u201cRoy embodies Dolfin\u2019s competitive spirit.\u00a0 He faces his challenges head on and is always striving to improve. \u00a0There are no obstacles for Roy, and the medals and records are just a byproduct of that great convergence of effort and love.\u00a0 We\u2019re honored to have Roy in our family headed to Rio,\u201d<\/em> shared Matt Zimmer<\/strong>, VP Sales & Marketing at Dolfin.<\/p>\n

In addition to his impressive medal count, Perkins has also been named a three-time USA Swimming Academic All-American, the San Diego Hall of Champions \u201cDisabled Star of the Year,\u201d<\/em> the 2008 Most Inspirational Athlete by the Challenged Athletes Foundation, and he holds American records in all S5 and SM5 events and distances.<\/p>\n
