Speedo and the German Swimming Federation extend their partnership through to 2029

Speedo and the German Swimming Federation (DSV) have signed a new long-term agreement, extending their partnership until 2029. United under a common goal to promote and develop swimming in Germany, the deal consolidates this commitment.

This new chapter in the relationship includes Speedo supplying all DSV athletes, from youth to senior level, with high-quality swimming apparel and equipment including competition and training suits, swimming goggles, swimming caps, accessories, as well as training aids. The commitment extends across all water sport disciplines of the DSV, from swimming to water polo.

In future competitions DSV athletes will be fully outfitted in Speedo when appearing at competitions, including the World Championships and Olympic Games, with Speedo joining Aquafeel as the outfitter of the federation.

This partnership builds on the previous agreement signed in 2023, which saw Speedo provide technical and training products to DSV teams and athletes. The agreement also made Speedo products become available on the German market through a direct retail model. Key moments included the signing of leading German swimmers Isabel Gose and Angelina Köhler.

Johannes Graff, Business Development Director (DACH) at Speedo, said: “With the new partnership between Speedo and the German Swimming Federation, we will take our relationship to the next level. Our common goal is clear: to equip the DSV swimmers with the highest quality and best equipment, supporting them on their journey towards 2028 and beyond. We will strive for peak performance, innovation, and trust – in and outside the water.

Simon Rowe, Speedo SVP Global Sports Marketing, said: “We’re proud to extend our partnership with leading swimming federation, DSV, through to 2029. German swimming is on an exciting trajectory, showcased by recent World Record performances, and this deeper collaboration reflects our shared ambition to keep pushing forward together at an elite level, bringing confidence, and joy to more people in and around the water.”

Speedo will be supporting all DSV athletes on their journey to the World Aquatic Championships later this year, and the Olympic Games in 2028. Head to the Speedo Instagram page, LinkedIn account and website to follow their journeys.
