Fittid Sport
Our founders have been swimming for a combined 50 years, including at the international level. As users of racing suits ourselves, we experienced firsthand the poor
fit and the drag that traditional sizing systems generate. This standardization forces a lanky 6’2” athlete to sacrifice the suit’s length for adequate compression while a stockier 5’4” swimmer endures pain to squeeze into a suit that is the appropriate length. We will solve their sizing problems by using swimmers’ own body measurements to create custom-fit racing suits. We have validated that competitive swimmers will pay a premium for our solution.
About Us
Jonathan Denton-Schneider is Fittid Sport’s finance manager. He grew up in San Rafael, CA, just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco. His love for swimming was a constant throughout his childhood. After his freshman year of high school, Jon joined a year-round swim team that taught him the value of hard work, being coachable, and balancing athletics and academics. Jon improved quickly and qualified for USA Swimming Nationals, earning the attention of various NCAA Division I programs. After graduating high school at the top of his class, he chose the University of Arizona because of the McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship and the highly ranked swimming team.

Matthew Hurko, the marketing manager for Fittid Sport, was born and raised in the heart of the Silicon Valley. The youngest of four brothers, he was brought up in a competitive environment where swimming reigned king. His creative prowess can be attributed to his early interest in ceramics and architecture.

Matt was a high school all-American backstroker and butterflier under former Arizona Wildcat swimmer John Bitter before finding his way to Tucson. In his time at Arizona, Matt has been a member of the honors college, a PAC-10 all-academic selection, as well as an Olympic Trials qualifier. Matt will graduate in May 2013 with dual degrees in Entrepreneurship and Finance.
