Clean Water 

QUESTIONS ABOUT CLEAN WATER WITH JORDAN 

1) How did you begin your sport? I grew up in Airdrie, Alberta, which is a city in Alberta, Canada within the Calgary Region. I got into triathlon in 1996 after being motivated by watching the 2000 Sydney Olympics. My family then moved into Calgary to be closer to my training center, at the Talisman Center.   

2) Hometown/ where do you live or train currently? I currently live in Canmore, Alberta, Canada. Canmore is a small mountain town next to world renowned Banff National Park.


3) Why is filtered water important / why is reducing single use plastic important to you? As someone who lives in the heart of the Canadian Rockies-I have come to appreciate the importance of fresh clean water. When at home, I feel truly privileged to drink some of the cleanest glacier water in the world (and yet I still use my Epic water filters!) As a Junior elite athlete I travelled to Mexico and races three year in a row and came home sick each and every time. It turns out that traveling to new countries and areas regularly can quite literally leave a bad taste in your mouth on occasion. This revelation opened my eyes to just how many people around the world have to deal with the struggles of finding clean water every single day. In addition to the obvious health benefits, I really have struggled with the waste that is produced with plastic bottles. Since working with Epic water filters I am proud to say that I have purchased less that a dozen bottles of prepared water, and have been drinking more due to the awesome bottles and clean taste!
