Lytework founder racing

A more considered approach to hydration.

Founded by Jonathan Sammut, former professional triathlete and coach. Perth, Western Australia.

THE ORIGIN

It started with a race. And a question.

IRONMAN Malaysia was my first full-distance race as a professional. In the heat and humidity, the day unravelled three hours in. I had spent months preparing, yet still had questions about how to manage my hydration.

One stayed with me: how could I approach every detail of training so carefully, yet have so little clarity around sodium?

I wanted to understand what I needed, how much to take and how to put it into practice.

Preparation should include what goes in your bottle. And what doesnโ€™t.

A NEW DIRECTION

The ambition stayed.

In December 2024, a racing accident in Busselton nearly cost me my life and my leg. It changed my relationship with sport. Through a long recovery, helping other athletes prepare and perform became a way to stay connected to something I care deeply about.

I know what it means to put months of work into one day. I wanted to build something worthy of that effort.

OUR PURPOSE

Understanding what you take should be as straightforward as taking it.

Lytework is the capsule, the calculator and the guidance I wish I'd had in Malaysia. Sodium planned on its own, separate from your drink, with a number you can use in training and trust on race day.

I want that to be part of everyday preparation, whatever the sport, the conditions or the start line.
