In 2006, HydroChic was conceived out of an epiphany, a vision that literally flashed before us one hot summer day. The inspiration came from many of you – mothers, sisters, daughters and friends who, like us, were out there donning men’s t-shirts and night shirts over our traditional bathing suits for sun or body coverage. On that day, watching women on the beach wearing those sloppy t-shirts, we realized that there was something missing in the market and we felt there had to be a better coverage solution. We asked ourselves what we would like to wear while swimming and went from there.Hi, we Daniella Teutsch and Sara Wolf, are the co-founders of HydroChic, Smart UV Swimwear™, designed for swim and sport.
We spent time researching fabrics, learning how to create and set up a business (no easy feat for two former educators and mothers), where to sell and most important- creating prototypes of styles that we felt were right. We went to drawing board and drew up designs for our first tops and bottoms that we took to a manufacturer. By the summer of 2007 we were selling our HydroChic tops and bottoms to women around the world. Our dream was now a reality and the reign of the sloppy t-shirt came to an end.
One of our goals was to make sure that every women, whatever her size and shape, would find in HydroChic, smart options that would speak to her.
