“I love being a part of the Phelps Brand team and I jumped at the chance to help create new designs around the products I’m already using,” said Oleksiak. “I want swimmers to feel good and look good while they’re training for their goals.”

The new collection is influenced by Penny’s personality and dedication to increasing participation in the sport, infusing pops of color and unique graphics to invoke feelings of fun and playfulness. The exclusive Penny Oleksiak collection begins to roll out this month with two products available to consumers worldwide so far. The initial product offering includes Xceed goggles that feature unique pink titanium lenses specially designed for training and racing as well as a Sakura swimsuit decorated with delicate Japanese cherry blossoms, known as a symbol for new beginnings.

“This special line was created to capture Penny’s fun, youthful spirit,” said Jessica Fitzsimon, Global Brand Director for Phelps Brand and Aqua Sphere. “We’re excited to redefine our top-of-the-line products with new designs that continue to celebrate the sport of swimming.”
