2. Southern Swim is a brand built on the culture and lifestyle of activities
around water in the South. While most swimwear brands are focused
on the West Coast and Caribbean, we want to highlight the rich culture
of going to the lake, floating the river, or simply hanging out by the
pool. While this culture of spending time on or around the water is so
intrinsic to living in the south, it is often overlooked. Each trip to that
favorite body of water is an experience; memories are created and
stories told.
