We’ve Tested the Waters – Training Bikinis for Athletes by Lo Swim
See this Kickstarter fundraiser. It looks very interesting, but supporters please move fast to help them launch this product, as their deadline is running out in 4 days.
Lo Swim was launched in 2009 by Sheeva VanGemeren and Annie Babicz with the Signature Training Bikini. As former college swimmers, (UC Davis and Cal, respectively) we had the privilege of receiving feedback from some of the best swimmers in the country. Our greatest compliment? “It stayed on better than a one-piece during run and dives!”….from an Olympian.
Not only are we helping to bring beach worthy fashion trends to athletes, but we firmly believe that our suit provides the most customized fit of any product on the market. After initial strap and draw cord adjustments, all of your energy can be directed towards training – no need to worry about shifting, slipping or suit movement of any kind. The straps are adjustable in two ways, so you can adjust the back straps to make a “T” shape or “Y” shape, depending on whats more comfortable AND if you switch it up, you avoid swimmer tan lines!
