TYR takes its name from Tyr, the Norse warrior god, one of the founders was Steve Furniss, the captain of the 1976 U.S. Olympic swimming team, who won a bronze medal at the 1972 Munich Olympics, and Joseph DiLorenzo, the current owner of TYR and a swim equipment designer.
 
Like many swimwear brands, TYR is dominated by swimwear and competes with Speedo in the U.S. competition-grade swimwear market, but its share is not as large as that of Speedo. TYR is one of the few brands to use photochromic lenses, such as the Special Ops 3.0 Transition goggles, which are designed for all-around events and open water swimmers and cost around $40.
 
TYR's products are mostly professional racing goggles, the Tracer-X and Blackhawk series are FINA certified, and the Tracer-X series goggles have a field of view of 206°, and the underwater field of view is wider than that of other brands of racing goggles. In order to reduce underwater resistance, racing goggles have a smaller frame and are not suitable for everyday swimming.
 
Although positioned as a professional racing goggle, the Nest Pro series has a high level of TPR gasket sealing and comfort, making it suitable for casual swimming by skilled swimmers. Inspired by the Bird's Nest Stadium at the Beijing Olympics, the frames are designed to enhance support and stability with an interwoven texture that adds support and stability to the frame, and costs around $20.
 
The Swimple series is TYR's No. 1 selling children's swimming goggles, using Durafit silicone gaskets, soft and durable, the frame has frogs, starfish, spiders and other shapes to choose from, quite childlike, but unfortunately the integrated frame can not be adjusted, a little regrettable. In addition to the special children's mirror series, other series of swimming goggles are generally also available for women and teenagers. However, TYR currently has no official e-commerce channels in China, and it needs to be purchased by overseas shopping, which is inconvenient to buy.
