S&R Sport Continues Its Partnership with Max Irving
S&R Sport has supplied aquatic gear to water polo and swim teams since 1992 and serves as the official ball provider for the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation. Recently, the brand announced it will be expanding its partnership with elite water polo athlete Max Irving through the LA28 Olympic Games. This move continues a collaboration focused on developing and promoting high-performance sublimated swimwear specifically engineered for water polo athletes with input from elite competitors.
