How I built my Supersuit
I've worn enough suits in my life to know a good suit from a not so good one. Swimming since the age of 4, I've worn thousands of suits over the course of my lifetime. My go-to was always the competitive-style practice suits, but now that I have kids, I want to play with them at the neighborhood pool and feel really comfortable. I wouldn't call practice suits 'comfortable'.
Practice suits have been an amazing tool for me over the years and I sometimes refer to them as my 'supersuit'. That outfit you put on and instantly transforms you into your superhero persona. I feel powerful, strong, it's my comfort zone and my empowers me. So when I see women around me not feel this ZING when they put their suit on, it's a little confusing. This has always been my happy place...until it wasn't.
My youngest child was 5 years old and I had just made the decision to stay at home with the kids when we moved to GA. For the first time, I got to go swimsuit shopping for a real play suit, just like everyone else! Yipee!!! I was genuinely excited...then I got to the fitting room and 5 styles in. It truly sucked. I've never felt worse about my post-baby body, not to mention I'd dealt with PPD, mono, kidney stones and an emergency appendectomy in the previous 2 years. This was supposed to be MY time to wear the suit, jump in the pool, have ALL the fun, to show the kids how it's done! The kids were almost swimming on their own and we were going to enjoy our LONG summers in the pool!
I was not willing to accept that this was my fate - to end up like all other women I hear about, having conversations about how hard it is to find good suits. I decided I HAD to do something about it. After calling on some friends, was able to design my perfect 'play suit' and you're now seeing the fruit of my labor. A never ending labor, but brings me so much joy and fulfillment to know that I can help you find a suit that makes you feel as powerful as my suit makes me feel.
Powerful enough that I can strut around wearing just my suit and tennies! This is the happiest place I can imagine.
