Summer’s continued passion and love for swimming, and leading an active lifestyle, is truly inspiring. Through this partnership, Summer and Dolfin are excited to inspire people of all ages to swim for fitness and to educate on the importance of water and sun safety. Working closely together, Summer and Dolfin also look forward to cultivating a culture of empowerment for women of all body types and supporting them in being the best versions of themselves, in and out of the pool.
“I am both honored and excited to be a part of the Dolfin Swimwear family,” says Sanders. “I wore Dolfin back when I was first learning how to swim, and have kept this brand close to my heart as I grew with the sport of swimming. I am passionate about representing and empowering the everyday woman, and Dolfin aligns with that passion to make women feel confident both in and out of the pool through their Aqushape collection”.
“We are honored to welcome Summer into our Dolfin family,” says Matthew Cowan, Chief Commercial Officer at Elite Sportswear. “Her love of swimming, dedication to the sport, and passion for life resignates with our brand values.
