Sylvia
Owner, Buyer
Sylvia’s interest in all things swimming started as a young girl. She was a competitive swimmer in the Bellevue area, joining teams at the Eastside YMCA and then Bellevue Swim Club. Sylvia has over 40 years’ experience in the swimwear business and can’t imagine doing anything else. To Sylvia, there is nothing more satisfying than finding a swimsuit that makes someone feel comfortable and confident.
In her spare time, Sylvia volunteers for Alaskan Malamute rescue and loves spending time with her own Malamutes exploring Washington trails and beaches.
