Dolfin Swimwear<\/a>, the fastest growing swimwear company in the country, announces signing with ACC Powerhouse Florida State University.<\/p>\n

Dolfin is proud to announce its four year sponsorship of both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams at Florida State. This deal comes on the heels of some big changes at FSU, led by dynamic new head coach Neal Studd<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe came in with a whole new culture and idea and structure. I wanted a new staff and a completely different direction and a fresh start for the program.\u201d Now, it\u2019s all about creating a team where the emphasis is on working hard and having fun. \u201cThis is a fun place to be. It\u2019s a different type of environment. The kids are working their butts off and having a blast doing it.\u201d<\/span> – Coach Neal Studd<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Dolfin\u2019s long-standing company tradition of hard work and fun makes the new partnership with FSU an exciting fit. Matt Zimmer,<\/strong> VP of Sales & Marketing at Dolfin says, \u201cNeal and his staff are some of the most dynamic coaches in the country, and exactly the kind of team and attitude we want part of the Dolfin family.\u00a0 We work together, we have fun together, we will all go very fast together. Coach Studd and the Seminoles are exactly what we love about swimming.\u201d FSU and Dolfin have a lot in common:\u00a0 \u201cWe are both doing new and exciting things. We\u2019re both kinda this out of the box thinking staff and company…Any idea is out there to be explored and that\u2019s what we\u2019re doing at Florida State right now. We\u2019re trying some new things and everyone at Dolfin is into new ideas and being creative with our sport,\u201d says Studd.<\/p>\n
All the change and positive energy at FSU is working to make the team better than ever. Both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams are quickly climbing the national rankings and they\u2019ve already more than doubled their NCAA qualifiers from last year. With a third of the season still left, FSU has already surpassed many of the goals they made back in August. Studd says, \u201cWe wanted to be the top twenty ranking this season. I think the guys highest ranking was 16th and the highest women was 17th. It\u2019s like a swimmer who has had an amazing first semester, we\u2019re kinda looking at some new goals. My big goal is scoring at NCAAs and having relays score at NCAAs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dolfin is excited to work with FSU at such a momentous time in the team\u2019s history and we can\u2019t wait to see what the future has in store.<\/p>\n
Welcome to the Dolfin family, Seminoles!<\/p>\n
