Nike Swim’s zero distraction approach to performance-based swim apparel will be put to the test and brought to life at the Championships, hosted on the shores of Lake Fuschl, just 20 minutes from Salzburg. Nike Swim will offer a kit-out service for every participant, giving every paddler a set of complementary Nike Swim gear including swim shorts and t-shirts for guys and swim bottoms and tops for women.

Charlie Green continues; “As the leaders in SUP, Red Paddle Co are dedicated to creating unrivalled performance throughout our product range to make the experience of getting on and in the water easier than ever before - a philosophy reflected by the team at Nike Swim. The Dragon World Championships is the ultimate example of this, we want to celebrate this incredible sport and encourage even more people to escape to water!”

To further support the partnership, an extensive media plan has been created to amplify communications throughout the brands combined networks by integrating messaging throughout key touch points, including SUP experiences, ‘micro-influencers’, in-store displays, what to wear guides, event activation and more.
