TYR is the primary aquatic performance apparel and equipment sponsor for Boulder Swim Team. As such, athletes and coaches shall wear TYR products exclusively at competitions. All required training equipment and apparel must be purchased through our TYR Team stores (MI Sports, SwimOutlet.com, TYR.com) using our Team Code.
