SBR Interview: Natasha Van Der Merwe

I was introduced to triathlon much later than i would have liked, at 27 years old. Since then i have not looked back and am now going on my 11th season of racing and 10th season as a professional triathlete. I love triathlon because training for 3 sports keeps things interesting as well as incredibly challenging. This continues to draw me to the sport, knowing there is always something to improve upon and i can always continue to get better. 


FAVORITE PRODUCT TriSwim Testimonial - I cannot believe i have gone this long without this product. I have always suffered from itchy skin post chlorine swims, and TriSwim Body wash completely takes that feeling away as it removes the Chlorine. I am in love with the Shampoo, Conditioner and Body lotion as well and my hair and skin has never felt better since i have started using TriSwim Products.

Proudest moment: Giving Birth to my daughter, Nadine and then watching her take her first steps couldn't have made me any prouder.

What did your mom and dad teach you? My mom taught me dedication to whatever path i was going to choose and a work ethic that is necessary to thrive in life.  My dad taught me to love, in a big way, without any expectation of being loved back.
