PHELPS is a brand that was founded by Michael Phelps and Bob Bowman. They both were the most experienced swimmers competing at the highest levels of elite swimming events for years. They felt that the swim gear is lacking performance, compression suits lack flexibility and the swimming goggles hindered peripheral vision and many other issues. They partnered with Aqua Sphere, the premier swimming equipment manufacturer to bring their expertise and finest products to the market and this is how the brand came into being.
