Will a swim tee support my chest?
We design our women's swim tees to be worn over a bra, tankini, bikini or bathing suit. This means they don't have underwires, shelf bras or soft cups, so they won't keep your bosom in place. If you wear something underneath that provides proper support though, you should be fine.
How do I care for my swim tee?
Treat your swim tee (and all of your bathing suits) with care. After wearing, rinse your swim tee in cold water to remove things like sand, salt and chlorine. Always wash it by hand in cold water with baby shampoo or a gentle detergent; avoid stretching it out of shape as well, which may limit its ability to protect you from the sun.
Can I put my swim tee in the dryer?
