Made up of six exciting lines: Cosmic, Prism, Aztec, High-Jazz, Iconic and an all-out Race Range, the new swimwear range has a breadth of styles and fit that cater to all tastes and abilities.
Working with experts in swimwear design, the new Zone3 ‘XFINITY’ fabric provides a market-leading fit and feel across all of the items in the range. The fabric is exclusively fabricated in Italy and has been tested by hundreds of athletes, ensuring 100% chlorine resistance, shape retention, coverage and performance.

Key swimwear products
New for 2020:
Iconic
The Iconic range is the core collection of swimwear from Zone3. It features performance fabrics and a performance fit, while a black base with a geometric metallic gold print offers a stylish and subtle look. Available in all of the most popular styles of swimwear, it ensures there is something for everybody.
Prism 3.0
The Prism collection features a variety of eye-catching geometric print designs with contrast details. With an additional ‘3.0’ pattern for 2020 (see below) and new swimwear styles added to the range, Zone3 is aiming to offer something for everyone in this stylish and vibrant collection.
Cosmic 3.0
The Zone3 Cosmic-Fluro range builds on feedback from the previous season. Combining vibrant neon colours with nebula space imagery (see the 2020 Cosmic 3.0 print below), this is a collection that is subtle yet stylish, which adults and children will be proud to show off in the pool.
Swim accessories and goggles
As well as adding to the swimwear range, Zone3 has also been developing a number of additions to the accessories and goggles collections. The new range of training aids has been a particular priority, with each product targeting improvements in technique and efficiency, as well as safety, both in the pool and in open water, from swimming caps to pull bouys and stroke paddles.
The Zone3 goggles range is high-performing for both pool and open water swimming. Packed full of great features, including 100% UVA/UVB protection and wide angle anti-fog lenses, there is a variety of lens types that offer clarity for all types of swimming. New styles and colourways mean there’s a goggle to suit every swimmer in 2020.
All of the Zone3 swimwear products will be available from zone3.com from 20th January onwards.

Great Tasting Water On The Go
Research suggests 7.7 billion plastic water bottles are used each year, that’s on average 150 plastic bottles every year per person according to Water UK. Help cut down your own personal plastic footprint by making a small yet active change to the way you keep hydrated by carrying a reusable water bottle at all times, not only reducing your own use of plastic but also saving you money in the long run too.
Enjoy pure-tasting water anywhere you go! Offering 0.8L capacity the ZeroWater Portable combines all the top-performing filtration technology of the standard ZeroWater filtration jug but in a stylish, convenient cup complete with textured easy grip lid. So you can enjoy great tasting water out of your tap whether you’re at home, work or the gym, a resounding success for you and the environment.
The ZeroWater Portable uses the iconic patented ZeroWater filtration system, which combines FIVE sophisticated technologies that work together to remove virtually all dissolved solids from your water. The only pour-through filter pitcher on the market that’s certified by the NSF to reduce lead.
What Does The ZeroWater Remove?
According to government figures 8.5 billion plastic straws are used each year. Which is why reusable straws are a great alternative and the ZeroWater Portable comes with just that, offering durability and a hard wearing design that seamlessly reflects the aesthetic of the portable cup. Another fantastic example of how the ZeroWater Portable is such a great alternative to single use plastic bottles.
How Long Will The Filter Last?
On an average water reading of 200 ppm you get 19 litres of filtered water from each ZeroWater Portable filter but please note it is dependent on the initial quality of your unfiltered tap water and daily consumption as the amount of dissolved solids in tap water varies across the UK. Each of the ZeroWater Portable filters employ a next-generation filter replacement technology. A “Colour Change” window which indicates when you need to replace your filter for added convenience. Once the replacement filter has then been fitted the other can be recycled at most Household Waste & Recycling Centres in the UK.
The ZeroWater Portable is available to buy online for £14.99 from ZeroWater, replacement filters (2 Pack), £14.99 from ZeroWater.

“How to Calculate
Dog Years to Human Years”
(might not be what you think!)

How to Calculate
Dog years to Human years
You know that long believed 1 dog year = 7 human year’s theory? The explanation of how this formula got started is based on the 7:1 ratio and on the statistic that people lived to about 70, and dogs to about 10. This theory is not supported and might have been created for marketing purposes – ie encouraging yearly Vet checkups.
So here’s the
Dog Year to Human Year Update
(Math Hat not included!)
Once upon a time, recently, a team of researchers formed their equation after comparing the epigenetic clock (a way to measure age, involving DNA) of humans, to the epigenetic clock of Labrador retrievers and also mice. This is the equation they came up with: human_age = 16ln (dog_age) + 31 (“Ln” is the natural logarithm of your dog’s age in years. Did you get that?
To make all of this a little easier, here is your Logarithm Calculator, to help you figure it all out. Good Luck and congrats on your “A+” in “Logarithm” (Good name for a band, The Logarithms)
Oh yes, one more thing, keep in mind that all dog breeds age differently; this calculation was made studying only Labrador retrievers, so it may not align perfectly with your dog’s breed, but you get the idea… I hope.

How it all began…
The year was 1904, I was 5 years old, living in Westchester County, NY
This Christmas morning, Santa brought me a new easel, a snazzy beret, plastic eye glasses and flammable PJs.
I still have the easel & love my beret!

SPOTTED: Heidi Klum’s top tip for fresh beautiful skin every day
According to a recent interview with Heidi Klum, her top product to remove make-up each evening and to keep her skin fresh and super soft is the JOHNSON’S® Baby Shampoo.
Want to follow in the footsteps of Heidi with JOHNSON’S® Baby Shampoo?
Make sure you follow the advice of eye experts and take care when washing around the eyes by using cotton wool dipped in diluted baby shampoo. Add a few drops of baby shampoo to a small cup of warm water so that the ratio of water to shampoo is 10:1. Squeeze out the excess liquid from the cotton wool to stop it dripping into your eyes. Rinse thoroughly and then gently pat dry.
Available in 100ml, 200ml, 300ml and 500ml, the JOHNSON’S® Baby shampoo can be bought in all Boots stores and local supermarkets.

Henchman is a Lineout Hero
There’s a lot of strategy involved in rugby – and executing successful lineouts is a crucial element of game-winning play.
Here at Henchman we hit the headlines during the recent Rugby World Cup in Japan when it was revealed that the England team’s ‘secret weapon’ was a tripod ladder, gifted to forward’s coach Steve Borthwick and his squad during the earlier six Nations tournament by our managing director Tom Kitching. He’d seen video footage of a forwards coach wobbling on a traditional step ladder and immediately dispatched a 10ft Henchman tripod to the England training camp at Pennyhill Park. They were so impressed with its performance they made sure they had a tripod available for them in Japan.
Henchman tripod ladders have a wide stable base with splayed feet to prevent sudden sinking in to grass. Their broad platform ‘crow’s nest’ with a top safety rail designed specifically to be leaned into, ensure a safe and stable training platform for even the most vigorous line-out practice.
England got all the way to the final, and as a result of the positive feedback we received, we offered Henchman to all the Gallagher Premiership rugby teams. London Wasps, Northampton Saints, Saracens, Sale Sharks and Gloucester all leaped at the chance to get their hands on one!
It’s no coincidence that three out of the four teams currently topping the league – Northampton, Gloucester and Sale ( placed at 2nd, 3rd and 4th respectively as at 5 January) all use Henchman tripod ladders in their line-out practice sessions and the benefit is clearly reflected in their 2020 performances so far. Well done guys!
If it wasn’t for the RFU imposed 35-point deduction following the salary cap hearing, Saracens would be topping the table and Wasps have put in some strong line-out performances too.
