Swimming is the largest participatory sport in the UK with over 3 million people per week taking to the water. However, the emergence of popular mind and body pursuits such as Yoga are on the rise, as are companies that innovate for these areas. There’s a real opportunity for Speedo here. We aim to surprise and delight our customers with new swim related experiences whenever they visit a pool.
