Dolfin Swimwear, the fastest growing swimwear company in the country, is honored to announce its sponsorship of two-time United States Paralympic swimmer Roy Perkins. Following his success at the 2008 and 2012 Paralympic games, Perkins is again in pursuit of the podium in Rio this year.
Born without hands or feet, Perkins didn’t even learn to swim until he was 12 years old. But once he got in the pool, there was no stopping him. In fact, his second swim meet ever was the 2004 Paralympic Trials – although he didn’t qualify, he broke several American records and was encouraged by his times.
The Stanford graduate, with a degree in Earth Systems, reflects that he didn’t really ‘love’ swimming until the 2008 Beijing Paralympics, when he began to embrace competing internationally. In Beijing, Perkins won gold in the 50m Butterfly and bronze in the 100m Freestyle. Over the next four years, he continued to compete at the elite level, and again earned a spot on the 2012 Paralympic team. Perkins brought home four medals from London – two silver in 100m Freestyle and 50m Butterfly and two bronze in 50m Freestyle and 200m Freestyle.
2015 was a year of accomplishments for Perkins, earning multiple medals at the U.S. Paralympic Swimming Can-Am Open in December and the IPC Swimming World Championships in July. Now, he’s riding this momentum into 2016 with Dolfin in tow. “Dolfin is on the cutting edge of racing technology and I’m excited to be part of a team, and more importantly a family, to help me win in Rio,†said Perkins.
