SHADE SWIM

Website: shadeswim.com  | Instagram: @shade_swim

 

Shade Swim was created by a young mother who suffered from skin cancer, and wanted to create swimwear for adult women that is more covered up, and with a high level of sun protection. 

“Sun safety remains a huge part of the Shade Swim vision. After being diagnosed with melanoma, I set out to prove that sun safety can still be stylish. With every new collection we want to ensure that our swimwear is designed to protect women from the damaging, harsh sun. This is a fundamental part of Shade Swim, and with our UPF50+ collections, Shade Swim has you covered,” explains brand founder Alyshia Morris.
