Michael Phelps, the most decorated swimmer of all-time, his coach Bob Bowman, head men’s swimming coach for the 2016 U.S. Olympic team and Arizona State University head coach, and Aqua Sphere, the premier swimming equipment manufacturer for fitness swimming and triathlons, collaborated in 2015 to launch a new line of premier competitive swim gear and training equipment. The brand is called MP.
\nWith their vast expertise, Phelps and Bowman had very clear ideas about what should be improved in the world of competitive swim gear. Aqua Sphere relied on them to drive the product development priorities and provide feedback throughout the process in order to convert those ideas into working products. The XCEED goggle by MP leverages Aqua Sphere\u2019s patented curved lens technology providing perfect clarity and expanded field of vision. \u201cWith these goggles, you\u2019re getting almost 180-degree vision. That peripheral sight is really important when you\u2019re racing,\u201d said Bowman. \u201cIt allows the swimmer to sight walls and the competition without altering their head position.\u201d Engineered with Exo-Core technology, the goggle combines two materials for maximum performance while offering stability and durability. The ultra soft anatomic Softeril gaskets provide a watertight seal with an exceptionally comfortable fit. Phelps says \u201cWhen I\u2019m competing outside, I\u2019ve always had a hard time sighting the lane lines. With the XCEED goggle, I can see two or three lanes over. The visibility is insane! I\u2019ve never worn anything like it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Throughout 2016, Phelps competed in MP swim gear including the XCEED goggle, XPRESSO competition suit and X-O swim cap. \u201cI finally have a complete kit that\u2019s perfect for me,\u201d said Phelps.<\/p>\n

The MP line now also includes competition race suits, training suits and swimsuits, snorkels, fins, and paddles, all developed to support the coaching and training best practices support by Phelps and Bowman. For more information on MP, please visit www.michaelphelps.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
