The international leader in elite swimwear research, innovation, and development has introduced numerous fabrics and technologies that have revolutionized the aquatics world, including their revolutionary Carbon Series that integrates actual carbon fiber into race suits to deliver maximum compression and hydrodynamics. Iconic designs like the Flyback, AquaRacer, X-Flat, and later the POWERSKIN Series, redefined elite swimming equipment, and have positioned arena as the brand of choice for Olympic Champions and world-record holders around the globe including Adam Peaty, Sarah Sjostrom, Katinka Hosszu as well as the world's best swimming federations including USA Swimming and Swimming Australia.

"arena is a world-class company with a great swimming heritage," said SPIRE Aquatics Director/Head Swimming Coach Thad Schultz. "The fact that they've fully embraced where SPIRE is going in terms of building our year-round Academy, camps, clubs, clinics and event business is very gratifying. Our staff and students love the arena gear, and we're really enjoying the process of working through their whole product line. On behalf of everyone at SPIRE Aquatics, we are very proud to have arena as a Sponsor Partner."

"arena is very excited to partner with one of the premier training academies and leaders in training education." said Mark Pinger, General Manager of arena USA. "We look forward to partnering with Spire IA and support athletes in training to be the best version of themselves."
