Furniss launched TYR in 1985 and helped transform the company into one of the world\u2019s leading aquatic performance brands.<\/p>\n<p>Steve began his sports business career in Landersheim, France working for legendary Adidas owner, <strong>Horst Dassler<\/strong>, He then served as the Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Arena USA before co-founding TYR Sport with swimwear designer <strong>Joseph DiLorenzo<\/strong>. From the company\u2019s beginning, TYR has focused on providing the competitive swim market with vibrant, performance driven prints and innovative swim training equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Named for the Norse god of warriors and athletes, TYR has grown to exist as one of the world\u2019s most recognizable swimming and triathlon brands relied on by Olympic greats <strong>Katie Ledecky, Simone Manuel, Matt Grevers, Ryan Lochte<\/strong> and Ironman World Champions <strong>Mirinda Carfrae<\/strong> and <strong>Craig Alexander.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>TYR products are distributed in more than 30 countries and the company is the second largest performance swimwear brand in North America.

He served on the Board of Directors of the Sports and Fitness Industry and on the Executive Committee of its predecessor, the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association, from 1999 to 2013. Steve graduated cum laude with a degree in marketing from the University of Southern California.<\/p>\n<p>Furniss credits much of his entrepreneurial success to his years as an athlete. \u201cFailure for me was often a matter of running out of time or the race not being long enough before others quit,\u201d he said. \u201cFear never dictated my mindset, but persistence did.\u201d Furniss earned a bronze medal in the 200-meter individual medley at the Munich Games in 1972. He also served as co-captain of the dominant 1976 Men\u2019s swimming team, which won 12 out of the 13 men\u2019s swimming<br \/>\nevents held in Montreal.<\/p>\n<p>Over the course of his swimming career, Steve set two world records, won four NCAA individual titles and helped earn three NCAA team titles while competing for USC. Steve was named to the Pac 12 All-Century Swim Team and was also a two-time All-American Water Polo player. He swam under coaching greats <strong>Jon Urbanchek, Tom DeLong, Flip Darr, Peter Daland<\/strong> and <strong>Dick Jochums<\/strong>. While swimming for Long Beach Swim Club, Steve, alongside<strong> Tim Shaw, Rex Favero<\/strong><br \/>\nand his brother, two-time Olympic gold medalist <strong>Bruce Furniss<\/strong>, to set the 800-meter Freestyle Relay World Record. This marks the last time a club team, not a National or Olympic team, set and held a relay world record, a feat not replicated in 44 years.<\/p>\n<p>Married for 43 years, Steve Furniss plans to spend more time with his family and four grandchildren. Furniss leaves an indelible mark on the competitive swimming industry both as both an athlete and entrepreneur.<\/p>\n<p>More TYR Sport news <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/meet\/tyr-news-page\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u2014 The above press release was posted by Swimming World in conjunction with TYR<\/i><i>.
