"GNC is very excited to be involved with World Swimsuit SA for the iconic swimsuit issue. GNC South Africa is the world leader in health, fitness and supplements and we push the boundaries of health innovation and fitness" said Paul Nunes, GNC South Africa’s marketing manager.

Aletha Carswell, co-founder of World Swimsuit South Africa and managing director of Netsport Media, said: "We look forward to yet another exciting and immensely successful Swimsuit Issue. We are proud to announce that GNC South Africa has confirmed their headline sponsorship for 2015."

World Swimsuit offers an amazing website, which is the hub of everything ‘Swimsuit’ along with various social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to share the World Swimsuit experience with our fans around the world. The shoot is published as a supplement in SA Rugby and SA Cricket magazines and also has an extensive presence on Youtube generating plenty of noise for World Swimsuit SA and GNC South Africa.

In the World Swimsuit SA model search, beauties from across the country entered their swimsuit images and fans voted to push their favourite up the charts. Only one winner will then be chosen out of the top finalists and will join the team of established swimsuit super stars on the white sandy shores of the exotic location.

GNC South Africa is giving fans a chance to #BeatAverage and follow the incredible models and crew by posting daily content on all their platforms, live from the shoot.
