Triathlon WA (TWA) is excited to announce that Aqualyte has extended its partnership with TWA for the 2017/18 season. The continued partnership will continue to see Aqualyte support the Triathlon Development Squad in addition to new initiatives aimed at providing benefits to Triathlon WA members.

Announcing the partnership renewal, Triathlon WA Executive Director Peter Minchin was delighted that Aqualyte and Triathlon WA were continuing the partnership and able to build on the success of the agreement from the previous season.

‘Aqualyte is a local, Western Australian owned and made, fluid and electrolyte supplement and is a healthier alternative to many other sports drinks. This makes it particularly suitable for Triathletes’.

‘Aqualyte will be continuing to provide support to our junior athletes in the Triathlon Development Program as the preferred hydration product for the TEP squad during daily training and competition’ commented Peter. ‘Aqualyte will also be the hydration partner for the City of Armadale Way Out West Triathlon in March which will host the Australian Junior and Youth National Triathlon Championships’

The new agreement sees the inclusion of benefits for Triathlon WA Members, with Aqualyte providing a 10 % discount on all hydration products available online.

Further information will be available shortly for clubs who wish to be involved in these new initiatives.
