The Grit Game, one of the pool and spa industry’s most education-forward manufacturer rep partner, has announced a new nationwide manufacturer partnership with RevdUp Apparel, expanding their relationship to support RevdUp’s continued growth and national presence across the United States.
“This partnership positions RevdUp Apparel for its next phase of growth,” says Don Douglas, founder of RevdUp Apparel. “With The Grit Game’s national sales reach, we can better serve pool professionals nationwide while maintaining our commitment to custom design, no minimum orders, and apparel built specifically for the pool industry.”
RevdUp Apparel has been an education sponsor with The Grit Game, supporting free industry training, certifications, and professional development initiatives. That early alignment created a strong foundation of trust — one rooted in shared values around professionalism, pride in the trades, and supporting small businesses where they operate.
This new nationwide manufacturer partnership allows The Grit Game to represent and support RevdUp Apparel at a national level, bringing modern strategy and field-level relationships to help scale a brand built specifically for the realities of pool, spa, and backyard professionals.
RevdUp Apparel serves an important role in the industry by helping pool service companies, builders, retailers, and event organizers present themselves professionally — without barriers that typically exclude smaller businesses. Their apparel is fully custom-designed by a digital artist, allowing businesses to create branded apparel that reflects their identity, not a template.
Equally important, RevdUp offers no minimum purchase requirements, giving small and growing businesses access to professional-grade apparel without having to invest in large quantities of inventory. This makes RevdUp a practical solution for pool service teams, retail staff, builders, swim teams, and special events — where flexibility matters as much as quality.
RevdUp’s dry-fit apparel is built for the field. Products feature SPF 50 protection and support 360-degree custom designs, allowing branding to wrap fully around the garment for a bold, cohesive look that stands up to sun exposure, heat, and long days on the jobsite or pool deck.
“Partnerships like this don’t start with contracts — they start with alignment,” says Laci Davis, CEO of The Grit Game. “RevdUp understands the day-to-day realities of pool pros. Their products help teams show up looking professional, unified, and confident — without creating unnecessary friction for small businesses.”
As part of The Grit Game’s manufacturer partner ecosystem, RevdUp Apparel will benefit from national representation that combines education, content, and boots-on-the-ground support — ensuring the brand continues to reach the right professionals, in the right way, at the right time.
While The Grit Game represents manufacturers and business solutions, its education sponsorship program remains intentionally separate.
Education sponsors support industry training and professional standards—separate from sales representation—by investing in free education that helps professionals do better work every day.
RevdUp Apparel’s continued involvement as both an education sponsor and manufacturer partner reflects a long-term commitment to the people behind the work — and to building an industry where professionalism is accessible, not exclusive.
