The Shade Swim Story

Regardless of your size or body type, we all experience moments of self-doubt and body insecurities. Shopping for the perfect swimwear can be tough, which is why Shade Swim is designed to fit your body, delivering unmatched support and comfort. Our swimwear is made with sustainable UPF50+ fabric, combining style and protection, with options to suit the level of coverage you prefer.

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. If you have any feedback or simply want to connect, please feel free to reach out—I’d love to hear from you!

With body love and confidence,
