"Speedo believed in me" - Natalie Du Toit

SA swimming sensation Natalie du Toit has praised her sponsor, Speedo, for believing in her when her career had yet to take off.

She has also credited Speedo’s new, high-performance swimsuit for helping her achieve three gold medals at the Commonwealth Games.

Du Toit said she wore exclusively Speedo swimwear and in particular, the new LZR Racer Elite -- the fastest and most technologically advanced swimsuit ever created.

“The Speedo suit is the most comfortable fit at the moment for me…I have never swum in any other brand but Speedo. They were my very first sponsor.

“They believed in me when no one else did and I have come to know and like their brand and swimwear for the fit and comfort.”

“Speedo at the moment has the best technology.”

Du Toit also praised her support team for their hard work, dedication and perseverance without which “I would never have achieved what I have today”.

Du Toit recently announced that this was her last Commonwealth Games. “I am sad but excited for what’s to come in two year’s time in London. I am going to try and qualify for the Olympic Games one more time in the 10km freestyle and definitely take part in the Paralympics (all seven events in my category)”.

Du Toit said she would be participating in all major competitions leading up to the qualification rounds for both the Olympics and Paralympics as well as in events within Gauteng and SA to qualify for the provincial and national teams”.
