New This Year

March 16, 2022

The Tuscola Torpedoes are partnering with TYR Sport! With this partnership comes benefits like bulk order discounts, a team store website, and personalized swim cap options.

TYR is a high quality brand and the official brand for Team USA swimmers like Katie Ledecky, Nic Fink, Lilly King, and Michael Andrew.

We will have team swimsuits available for purchase through the team via a bulk order. Team gear will have the team logo. Swim caps will have the option to personalize with swimmers name.

 

Deadline for ordering will be April 30. This will ensure swimmers have their suits by our first meet.

 

*Team suit is not a requirement. Non-personalized swim caps will be available for purchase through the team during or after the bulk order.

**Suits and gear will be available for purchase through the team website, through the discount will be significantly less that through the bulk order.
