Rooted in a legacy that began in 1966, GH Sports traces its origins to Greg Hind, a Pan-Am Gold Medalist and three-time All-American water polo player, who patented the first water polo protective headgear, the G-H Ear Guard. The company evolved from GH Company, Inc., pioneering swim accessories like the Compy Goggle and lap display, and later developed the first-ever fitness tight, the ST2, which became a foundational piece in athletic wear. Over decades, GH Sports has maintained a focus on quality and innovation, manufacturing swimwear for over 30 years with an emphasis on comfort, longevity, and performance. The brand continues to support local athletic communities through team partnerships and events like the SLO Color Blast Fun Run and triathlon series.
Located on South Higuera Street, GH Sports sits about a mile from the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and a short drive from San Luis Creek (South), a nearby park. The storefront is near San Luis Obispo Creek and within sight of the Oh Great Spirit public artwork, situated just past the KATY-AM broadcast tower.
