Sailing Association of Wales enters into cooperation with Intego Pro brand of sunscreens
Intego Pro Sports Sunscreen Partners with Welsh Sailing for Athlete Protection
Intego Pro Sports Sunscreen, a UK-based sunscreen designed for high-performance in demanding conditions, has announced a new partnership with RYA Cymru Wales, the governing body for sailing in Wales. This collaboration aims to educate and equip sailors and coaches with high-quality sun care products, setting a new standard for health-conscious participation in sailing and boating in Wales.
The partnership is led by Sarah McGovern, RYA Cymru Wales Performance Manager, who will spearhead educational initiatives on skin protection. Welsh athlete Catrin Williams, a member of the British Sailing Squad, has also joined the partnership as a Brand Ambassador for Intego Pro.
Intego Pro has already made a name for itself in the world of professional sports, particularly in water-based activities where protection from sun exposure is critical. It is the sunscreen of choice for the Athena Pathway program, various Olympic athletes, and British teams competing in the Women’s and Youth America’s Cup sailing events.
As part of the partnership, Intego Pro will be available at RYA Cymru Wales events and onboard Croseo, the RYA Cymru Wales' official training boat. A discount code for Welsh sailors attending RYA CW events will be provided for purchasing Intego Pro online. Intego Pro will also be given as prizes at RYA Cymru Wales sailing events.
Russell New, founder and Director at Intego Sun Protection Ltd, stated that this partnership is a natural fit for Intego Pro. "We are thrilled to be partnering with RYA Cymru Wales. Our sunscreen is designed to provide the highest level of protection for athletes in demanding conditions, and we are excited to support the sailors and coaches in Wales," he said.
Intego Pro is hypoallergenic, long-lasting, and UV water-resistant, making it an ideal choice for those spending extended periods in the sun. The partnership with RYA Cymru Wales reinforces the company's commitment to athlete welfare and meaningful partnerships.
Skin cancer rates in the UK have more than doubled since the 1990s, highlighting the importance of sun protection. This partnership underscores RYA Cymru Wales' commitment to promoting the use of high-quality sun care products among its members.
Intego Pro is proud to be the official sunscreen partner for sailing and boating in Wales, and we look forward to supporting the sailors and coaches in their pursuit of excellence while ensuring their skin is protected.
