Hi-Tide Swimsuit | Whale Shark
Dive into our one-piece wonder, your new go-to, the Hi-Tide Swimsuit. This easy piece features a classic maillot tank style with a deeper scoop back, high-cut leg, & somewhat cheeky fit.
FIT NOTES:
SIZING: True to Size (while the fabric provides ample stretch, we suggest Sizing Up if between sizes or require a longer torso length).
FIT: Light-Support (solid double-layer fabric front, no shelf bra). Moderately cheeky, stretchy adaptable fabric. If you prefer more support, we recommend checking out our Racerback Bikini Top style (or potentially sizing down a suit size for a tighter fit).

FABRIC DISCLAIMER: Due to the extremely soft nature of this fabric, we’ve found it can easily become prone to snagging. We recommend avoiding contact with rough surfaces (concrete, velcro, excessive BCD rubbing, etc.).
COLOR DISCLAIMER: Please note the swimsuit is comprised of a different fabric than the other styles within the Whale Shark collection (rashguard, legging, bikini, short). Due to the difference in content, you may notice slight color variation if matching the swimsuit back to another style within this collection.

Inspired by the largest fish in the ocean, our whale shark print is both sleek and majestic in design, highlighting the characteristically unique pattern of white spots and stripes against a pewter skin tone. It is thought that this gentle giant’s unique white checkerboard pigmentation could be an adaptation for ultraviolet radiation shielding (aka natural sunscreen). This natural defense is advantageous in animals that spend a significant amount of time exposed to the sun (while feeding near the surface). The whale shark is classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. Recent assessments have revealed significant population declines from ongoing human impacts such as commercial fishing, fishery net bycatch, and vessel strikes. In the absence of conservation action, declines are likely to continue.
