Regardless of the season, women are always on the hunt for the right bathing suit. Yet today, it is hard to find a bathing suit that conceals more than it reveals.

With UV rays at an all-time high, those skimpy bathing suits just don’t offer adequate protection. And not everyone wants the kind of attention garnered from wearing a revealing swimsuit, either.

For those women who want to look good, yet cover up when they take the plunge, HydroChic has the swimwear to suit their style.

Founders Daniella Teutsch and Sara Wolf designed the HydroChic swimwear line to fill a void in the market. They told The Epoch Times about their motivation to create their company.

“Like so many other women, with the coming of every swim season we felt the dread of what we would wear—we were out for the perfect suit but it didn’t exist. We really were sick of the bathing suit tug.

“In addition, we were tired of wearing a sloppy T-shirt over swimwear to protect us from the sun and give us added coverage that the traditional swimsuit did not provide,” they explained.

“We wanted to feel as comfortable on the beach surrounded by family and friends as we did in other social settings. We wanted something versatile since we were always on the go—something that we could wear from the house to the beach without having to change, and we wanted that option to flatter and be fun to wear.”

With HydroChic, they accomplished exactly what they set out to do.

Women looking to branch out from the traditional bathing suit will shop from the HydroChic brand for a variety of reasons, according to Teutsch.

“Active women of all ages, from the young mother who is concerned about sun protection and comfort while supervising her small children at the beach, to the active outdoors woman who wants to be able to choose fashionable coverage options when she exercises, to the retired grandmother who is going on a cruise or doing water aerobics or boogie boarding with her grandsons!”

Along with versatility comes the need for durability, ease of movement, and comfort.

“We do not compromise fashion or function,” said Teutsch, emphasizing that quality and fit are priorities. That is why the bathing suits are made using high-quality Italian fabric with materials that are analyzed and lab tested.

Added Teutsch, “We design with the real woman’s curves in mind.”

Besides standard sizes, the suits come in plus sizes, extra small, maternity, and mastectomy fits. HydroChic provides mix-and-match options because women come in various shapes and sizes and most often need a different size top than bottom.

On the website, women can choose from a large selection of tops with different styles and sleeve lengths and then pair it with their choice of bottoms: a knee-length skirt with form-hugging biker pants attached underneath, a skort, long shorts, or pants—all with a comfortable, flattering fit.
