The Aqua Zone brand was launched in 2001 with the goal of defining the next generation of swimming products, from swimsuits and accessories to goggles, caps, fins and more. Aqua Zone's parent company Orvar was established in 1979 in Mexico by Professor Nelson Vargas, an elite swimmer, renowned physical education teacher and swimming school owner who served as Mexico’s Olympic swim team coach from 1969 to 1980. Using state of the art technology and incorporating the latest fashion trends, Aqua Zone suits are designed and manufactured for both competition and training in the Company’s 8,000 square foot factory, by over 65 highly trained technicians.
