Diving Australia joins forces with swimwear supplier Kozii

Published Fri 14 Jul 2023

Diving Australia (DA) is pleased to announce a new partnership with leading Australian made sports swimwear brand Kozii.

The three-year partnership is set to benefit all levels of the sport, with Kozii to supply elite and emerging athletes with competition and training swimwear for Senior and Junior World Championships, World Cups, the World University Games and other international meets. 

Athletes competing at the 2023 World Aquatics Championships in Fukuoka Japan from 14-22 July will be the first to debut the new swimwear.  

As a national sponsor of DA, Kozii will also have a presence at DA Events, including the Australian Open Championships and the Australian Elite Junior Championships. 

Diving Australia CEO Alex Newton said the partnership was an exciting venture and athletes were thrilled with the outcome. 

“We are delighted to be working with Kozii to supply Australia’s diving athletes with their team swimwear needs,” Newton said. 

“It is wonderful to partner with an Australian based company that has its operations on the Gold Coast and manufactures its product locally.

“Prior to this partnership, several of our athletes were already wearing Kozii swimwear in their training and the athletes were very much a driving force in getting the partnership off the ground. Our Athletes’ Commission is working closely with Kozii on a host of initiatives, including a bespoke Indigenous design, and we are excited to be able to share the details with the diving community soon,” Newton concluded.   

As a supplier to sporting organisations and clubs, including surf life saving, Kozii owner, Kay Shallcross has a wealth of experience working to design fit for purpose swimwear for elite athletes.  

“We worked with the athletes to modify a couple of the patterns that they like to wear and their feedback has been important” Shallcross said. 

“Diving is a great fit for Kozii and we are both pleased and proud to sponsor such an iconic sport,” she said.
