OUR STORY

Born from a lifelong passion for swimming and a drive to push athletic limits, sailfish was founded by former professional triathlete and IRONMAN swim record-holder Jan Sibbersen in 2007.

THE ORIGIN

THE ORIGIN

Swimming has always been Jan's true passion. As a young swimmer, Jan dedicated himself to perfecting every stroke. He loved the feeling of gliding effortlessly fast through the water, the freedom it gave him.

THE JOY OF SWIMMING

THE JOY OF SWIMMING

Triathlon called him in a similar way. It was a new challenge, but still a lot about that joy of swimming. In triathlon, Jan pushed limits once more - setting the IRONMAN swim record at IRONMAN Germany. It again felt like proof that the joy of swimming can drive you to break many barriers.

MAKING PEACE WITH THE BIG ISLAND

At the age of 43, Jan returned to Kona with some unfinished business. Twelve years after he retired, Jan broke the 23-year-old swim record with a time of 46 minutes and 29 seconds. It wasn't just about the record—it was about the joy of being in the water again.
