When and how did the team form?
Blueseventy racing was formed in 2019 as an ambassador program for blueseventy (an industry leader in technical swim performance products). The team was formed to provide like-minded endurance athletes a space for community a space to share in adventure, competition, and support. The team also exists for these athletes to represent the blueseventy brand and mission in their own training and racing.

A few of the team's top achievements?
Were proud to have members from a wide range of experience and ability. From first-time finishes to podium wins to World Championship qualifiers we consider these ALL to be top achievements of our individual members. Last season (2020) our team was a top fundraiser for IRONMAN’s IRONAID campaign. The COVID pandemic rocked everyone’s world, and we were thrilled to see our athletes come together to keep chins up and support a good cause, despite grieving lost races all season.
Team's go-to Zealios product?
The Swim & Sport line. Between chlorine, lake, and ocean water — we do a lot of rinsing!
Is there a staple blueseventy racing workout?
We don’t have an “official” workout, but our swim cords became must-have gear when pools were closed for so much of last year. Tons of great swim cord tips from pros like Justin Metzler and Lionel Sanders on the blueseventy company blog
