Authentic Fitness Corporation
 PROFILE
Authentic Fitness helps keep divers and swimmers from "losing it" during competition. The company is the exclusive North American licensee for Speedo swimwear, activewear, and accessories. Known for its sleek, tight fit (to avoid drag in water), the Speedo line dominates the competitive swimwear market and is favored by Olympic athletes. Its proprietary swimwear brands include Cole of California and Catalina, which are sold internationally. Authentic Fitness also operates more than 130 Speedo Authentic Fitness stores in the US and Canada, and it has licensing agreements to make swimwear for Oscar de la Renta and Ralph Lauren. Apparel maker Warnaco bought Authentic Fitness in 1999.
