Our Founder's Story
At Shade Swim, sun safety is more than just a priority—it’s personal. As a single mum of three, I know firsthand the challenges of raising kids while balancing life’s demands. After my melanoma diagnosis in 2013, I became even more aware of the importance of protecting our skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. This experience inspired me to create a swimwear brand that combines superior sun protection with a mission to help women feel confident and beautiful in their own skin.
I understand how overwhelming life can be—juggling family, health, and daily responsibilities. In 2022, my journey took an unexpected turn with a brain cancer diagnosis. While it’s been incredibly challenging, it has only strengthened my resolve to cherish every moment with my children. I created Shade Swim to make life easier without compromising on style or comfort. With our UPF50+ collections, my mission is to empower women to feel confident and stylish while staying protected in the sun. After all, life is too precious to spend worrying about harmful rays while enjoying the moments that truly matter.
I founded Shade Swim to celebrate every woman’s body and highlight the crucial importance of sun safety. This cause is close to my heart, and I hope you enjoy wearing Shade Swim as much as I enjoyed creating it.

With body love and confidence,
