British Champion & Scottish Record Holder

Archie is a British Champion and the third-fastest British breaststroker in history over one length. He recently lowered his own long-course Scottish record in the 50m breaststroke to 27.12, and firmly holds the short-course record at 26.26. He trains in the pool eleven times a week — and still smashes a Master’s degree in chemical engineering at the University of Edinburgh alongside it.

The Race Beyond the Pool

In 2024, while chasing Olympic qualification, Archie was diagnosed with three inoperable brain tumours. He has faced that diagnosis with more grace than most of us could imagine — choosing to spearhead cancer research and treatment access, while spending his platform raising awareness.

Brain cancer is the biggest cancer killer of people under 40, yet it receives just around 1% of national cancer research funding. Archie campaigns for that to change — for greater research investment, for patient access to genomic testing, and for the right to try emerging treatments. It’s a mission that reached Westminster and drew well over 100,000 signatures in support.

A performance athlete in the pool and an elite fighter in life — Archie races his own time in and out of the water.

Glasgow 2026: A Home Commonwealth Games

This July, Archie lines up at Tollcross for Team Scotland at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games — returning for his second Games on home soil, in front of a home crowd. After making his debut at Birmingham 2022, this is a moment years in the making, and one of the most compelling stories of the entire Games.

We’re not here to tell Archie’s story for him.

We’re here to back him as he writes the next chapter.

Welcome to the Family, Archie!

We’re honoured to welcome Archie Goodburn to the Ampact family and to stand behind him — in the pool, at Glasgow 2026, and in the fight he’s leading beyond it.

Follow Archie’s journey and his mission on Instagram at @archie_goodburn, and learn more about the cause he champions at Brain Tumour Research. Every record he breaks, every morning he shows up, every lap he swims means something bigger than sport — and we’re here for all of it.

Proud doesn’t cover it. Welcome to Ampact, Archie.

Archie’s Choice of Gear: the Sprinter 100 Mini

Swimming is a sport of repetition and solitude — hours spent following the black line, length after length, session after sessions. The volume is punishing on some tough days, and staying locked in through it is its own kind of discipline. It’s also one of the harshest environments there is for a piece of electronics: full submersion, chlorine, and constant push-offs and turns that work loose anything not built to stay put. For a swimmer, gear either survives the pool or it doesn’t. There’s no in-between.

That’s exactly where the Sprinter 100 Mini belongs.

With IPX8 waterproof certification — the highest waterproof rating available — it’s one of very few headphones genuinely built for the water, not just sweat or splashes. Its bone conduction design keeps Archie’s ears open, so he can hear his coach on the poolside and stay connected to his surroundings while he trains. The secure, open-ear fit stays exactly where it should through every length and every turn. And being able to train to music through those long, solitary sets can be the difference between grinding out the metres and genuinely enjoying them.

It’s the gear of choice for an elite athlete who lives in the pool — no compromises, session after session. And it’s the same reason everyday swimmers reach for it: if it holds up to Archie’s eleven sessions a week, it’ll hold up to yours.
