FINIS, a world leader in technical swimming products that maximize your swimming potential and technique, announces the sponsorship of Olympic athlete, Roy-Allan Burch. The sprinter from Bermuda currently lives and trains in Cornelius, North Carolina and was a member of both the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Teams. Representing Bermuda, Burch gained valuable International experience and finished 24th overall in the Men’s 50m Freestyle event in London.
Burch currently holds eight National records for his country including the 50m Freestyle, 100m Freestyle, 50m Butterfly, and the 50m Backstroke. He has represented Bermuda at the FINA World Championships since 2007 and has reached the final heats of prominent International competitions, such as the Commonwealth Games and the Pan-American Games. Burch earned his MA in Business Management from Springfield College (Mass.) in 2008 and was a standout performer during his time representing the Pride.
Burch is poised to make another run at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, where he will race for the chance to be the fastest man in the water. When thinking about the next Olympics, Burch quickly refers to his favorite inspirational quote: “A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.”
John Mix, President and CEO of FINIS, commented on the new athlete sponsorship. “We are very excited to have Burch as one of our FINIS athletes. We are a small company that wants to make a big splash in the world, and Burch has the same mindset. We look forward to sharing in his future success.”
