GLYDE was founded by Dan Feisst, an elite swimmer, National Age Group Coach Champion, event director, and self-confessed wetsuit fanatic who has spent more than 20 years in open water, pool decks, coaching lanes, and testing wetsuits in real-world conditions.

Over those two decades, Dan has seen every trend, every marketing claim, and every "revolutionary breakthrough" the industry has produced. Some have worked. Many haven't.

Today, many wetsuit brands claim to be "backed by science." But where is that science? More importantly, does it actually make swimmers faster, more comfortable, and more confident in the water?

At GLYDE, we believe performance doesn't come from gimmicks. It comes from understanding what really matters.

A great wetsuit starts with the right materials, but materials alone don't make a great suit. The most important feature is fit. A wetsuit that fits correctly becomes more comfortable. More comfort means less restriction. Less restriction means a more natural stroke, easier breathing, and the ability to push harder for longer.

That's why every GLYDE wetsuit is designed around the swimmer first.

The goal isn't to create the most complicated wetsuit on the market. The goal is to create the wetsuit that disappears when you swim. One that allows you to focus on your technique, your race, and your performance rather than fighting your equipment.

Every panel, thickness, seam, and feature has been selected because it delivers a real benefit in the water. Not because it looks good in a brochure.

GLYDE wetsuits are designed by swimmers, coaches, and athletes who spend thousands of hours in open water every year. They have been shaped by real feedback, real testing, and real experience.

Because when race day arrives, the only thing that matters is how the suit performs when you hit the water.

No gimmicks.
No unnecessary features.
No marketing fluff.

Just proven performance, exceptional comfort, and the confidence to swim your best.

GLYDE.
Designed in the water.
