There’s a reason people say “just get in the ocean”—because it works. Salt water isn’t just good for your skin—it’s medicine for your mind, body, and spirit. Whether you’re dealing with stress, stagnation, or simply need to reset, a swim in the sea has a way of bringing you back to yourself.
Physiologically, salt water contains a natural cocktail of minerals like magnesium, potassium, and calcium that are known to soothe inflammation, support circulation, and calm the nervous system. Floating in the ocean eases pressure on your joints and allows your muscles to fully relax. That’s why even a short ocean session can leave you feeling physically lighter and mentally clearer.
On a cellular level, the saline in seawater acts as a natural antiseptic. It supports skin healing, reduces breakouts, and is rich in electrolytes—especially important in tropical climates where hydration can dip fast. Many wellness practitioners even consider swimming in salt water to be a form of natural lymphatic drainage.
But salt water healing isn’t just physical—it’s deeply emotional. The sound of the waves. The rhythm of your breath underwater. The weightlessness of your body when you let go. It’s a moving meditation. A practice in surrender. In the ocean, there are no mirrors, no judgments—just you and the moment.
It’s why so many of our customers say they feel most themselves in the water. And it’s why we design suits that support that feeling—not just in style, but in substance.
When you’re surrendering to the sea, the last thing you want is to feel distracted by what you’re wearing. Our long sleeve swimwear is made to hold and support your body, so you can move, stretch, dive, and float without adjusting or fidgeting. The UPF 50+ fabric shields your skin from harsh UV rays, while the compressive panels flatter your shape and make you feel hugged, not squeezed.
Our best-selling Sulawesi long sleeve suit in Snow was inspired by these saltwater rituals. It's what we reach for during sunrise swims, post-surf stretches, and breath-hold sessions in the shallows. Black never goes out of style, and neither does function.
Healing is holistic. And we believe that what’s good for your body should also be good for the planet. That’s why our suits are made from ECONYL® regenerated nylon—rescued ocean waste that’s been re-spun into luxurious Italian fabric. It lasts twice as long as fast fashion swimwear, and it performs better, too.
So the next time life feels heavy, we invite you to return to the water. Swim in the early morning when the sea is still. Let the waves wash over your skin. Float. Breathe. Reconnect. And wear a suit that lets you forget about everything else.
Because healing doesn’t have to be hard. Sometimes, it’s as simple as salt, sun, and a few deep breaths.
