Buena Park, CA- 1/1/2026- Core Values California (CVXCA), a Southern California-based aquatic apparel and gear brand, today announced a multi-year partnership with UC San Diego Athletics as the official aquatic gear sponsor for both the Men’s and Women’s Water Polo programs beginning with the 2026 season.
Under the agreement, CVXCA will supply the Tritons’ Varsity Men’s and Women’s Water Polo teams with premium game suits and competition caps, as well as a full complement of deck-ready performance apparel including robes, towels, and other essentials. The partnership extends beyond equipment, featuring collaborative content initiatives that share both CVXCA’s and UC San Diego’s core philosophies of performance, teamwork, and integrity.
“CVXCA was founded on the belief that athletes deserve gear designed by athletes- gear that performs at the highest level and stands up to the demands of elite competition,” said Patrick Tio, Co-Founder of Core Values California. “Partnering with the Tritons, a program with a rich competitive tradition and an unwavering commitment to excellence in and out of the pool, is a natural alignment for us. We’re proud to support these incredible athletes as they represent UC San Diego at the highest levels of collegiate water polo.”

“We’re excited to join forces with CVXCA as our official aquatic gear partner,” said Sarah Lizotte UCSD Women's Water Polo Coach. “Our teams push themselves every day to excel, and having gear that matches that work ethic makes a meaningful difference. This partnership enriches the experience for our athletes and gives them the tools they need to compete at their best.”
In addition to outfitting the Tritons’ varsity squads, CVXCA and UC San Diego will collaborate on social media and community-centered content to further spotlight the shared values of teamwork, dedication, and performance that define both organizations.
