In a remarkable recognition of excellence, Genesis Sports Limited has been acknowledged by Yingfa Swimwear as a trailblazer in the distribution of Yingfa products across East Africa. The sports company has been instrumental in making high-quality, World Aquatics-approved swimwear and accessories accessible to competitive swimmers, a move that is significantly transforming the swimming landscape in Kenya and beyond.

The Yingfa Surge: Quality Meets Affordability

Swimming has often been perceived as an expensive sport, with top-tier swimwear brands pricing their products at levels beyond the reach of many aspiring swimmers. However, Yingfa, a globally recognized swimwear brand founded in China, has disrupted this narrative by providing high-quality yet affordable options, making competitive swimming more inclusive.

Genesis Sports Limited, as the sole authorized distributor of Yingfa products in Kenya and most of East Africa, has witnessed an unprecedented surge in sales, particularly for the World Aquatics-approved competitive swimsuits for both boys and girls. These suits have gained widespread popularity among clubs, schools, and professional swimmers, who appreciate their durability, anti-chlorine properties, UV resistance, and hydrodynamic efficiency.

“Indeed, many teams and schools have embraced Yingfa costumes because of their quality and affordability,” says Bilhah Njunge, Business Development Manager at Genesis Sports Limited. “We are happy for the business partnership with Yingfa, which has revolutionized swimming training and development in East Africa by making the sport more economical.”

Schools and Clubs Leading the Yingfa Revolution

The affordability and performance of Yingfa swimwear have made it the preferred brand for leading swimming schools and clubs in Kenya. Among those that have officially endorsed Yingfa products include:

Noel Amwayi, Head Coach at Dashing Dolphins, believes Yingfa is a game-changer in competitive swimming. “Yingfa swimwear is the way to go for serious clubs because it is anti-chlorine, anti-UV, and approved by World Aquatics, meaning our swimmers can use them even in international competitions. Parents should ensure they purchase from Genesis Sports Limited to get genuine Yingfa swimwear instead of replicas that lack World Aquatics-approved stamps.”
