JOLYN was created by athletes who were tired of swimwear that didn’t fit, was uncomfortable and most of all, boring. We created better fitting and performing swimwear with patterns and colors as fun as the girls in the water. We believe that athletics can help women to be their best selves. As such, our mission is to use athletics as a springboard to unite women and help them reach their full potential.
