Rocket Science Sports South Africa
From Austin
to Atlantic.
Performance triathlon and swim gear, engineered in Texas — brought home to our oceans.
Our story
An aerospace engineer, a triathlete, and a wetsuit problem.
Rocket Science Sports was founded in Austin, Texas in 2004 by Marcin Sochacki — an aerospace engineering graduate who happened to be a triathlete frustrated by the gear available to him. He started applying the principles he knew from aircraft design — aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, material science — to wetsuits, swim skins, and triathlon apparel.
Two decades later, the brand has dressed first-time open water swimmers, age-group athletes, and world-record holders. Every product still goes through the same engineering-led process: design, test, refine, repeat.
We brought Rocket Science Sports to South Africa because the gear belongs in our oceans. Open water swimming, triathlon, and surf culture are part of how we live here — and the technical demands of swimming a Robben Island crossing or racing the Cape Epic deserve gear built for performance, not compromise.
What we do
The right suit, the right size, the right swimmer.
Triathlon wetsuits, tri-suits, and performance swim gear across five performance tiers. Our job is to help you understand which gear fits your body, your level, and your goals — then put the right one on you.
