Turbo-Official USA Kit Supplier Press Release
USA Water Polo, the national body for the sport in America, has signed up Spanish equipment manufacturer Turbo as its official outfitting partner until 2013. The two-year deal will see the company provide water polo suits, caps, apparel and robes for all of the United States’ national teams, as well as tailor-made products for the country’s water polo Olympic Development Programme. As a result, Turbo outfits will be worn at several major tournaments including this year’s FINA World Championship in Shanghai and the London 2012 Olympics; replica outfits will become available at a later date. In addition to the outfitting deal, Turbo will be granted increased exposure in the official USA Water Polo publication, Skip Shot, and become title sponsors of three annual events in the water polo calendar. The Top 40, Men’s Trial Series and the 14 & U Champions Cup will be renamed the Turbo Top 40, Turbo Trials Series and Turbo Champions Cup respectively. Christopher Ramsey, chief executive of USA Water Polo is looking forward to partnering Turbo and anticipates a fruitful relationship: “We have chosen to partner with Turbo because of their outstanding, competition-proven quality and innovation. Turbo is a company that puts water polo first, which is the kind of commitment and experience that we wanted for our national teams, our Olympic Development Program and for all of our clubs and members,” he said.
Former American player, and joint chief executive of Turbo, Wolf Wigo added: “I am very excited for Turbo to be the official outfitting partner with USA Water Polo, I know from my playing days on the Olympic team that my teammates and I always hoped that Turbo could be our sponsor because Turbo is the best quality product in the water polo market. I am very proud that the Men's and Women's National teams will be competing in Turbo gear, which I hope can provide a competitive edge towards the goal of Olympic Gold.”
The United States men’s and women’s water polo teams will both be aiming to go one better at the London 2012 Olympics having each won silver in Beijing.

Turbo Charged Turtles Triumphant
For the second week in a row the Treading Turtles pulled one out the bag by beating the much favoured Baulking Blowfish. In their previous encounter the Blowfish swam away easy winners with a 10 - 2 scoreline. From the start the Turtles came out meaning business with 2 quick goals. The Blowfish seemed to get frustrated and resorted to shooting from all ares of the pool but nothing could get past the Turtles goalie Daniel Van Zyl. The game ended 6 - 2 to the Turtles, making them the Winners of the Inaugural Turbo Action Polo Tournament.
Earlier in the evening saw the Plate Final. This was an extremely closely contested game with the score ending up a 6 goals all at full time. This took us to the 3rd penalty shootout of the Tournament. After 5 penalties each, the Sculling Squids ended up winning the Plate Final 5 - 4 on penalties.
Congratulations and THANK YOU to the players, parents and spectators who played a massive part in making the Inaugural Turbo Action Polo Tournament so successful!
