MarSea Modest Swim & Casualwear

From Eilat Beach to the beaches of the Mediterranean Sea, from Lake Tiberias to theDead Sea, women have issues regarding swimwear coverage, in Israel and around the world.

Harold & Marci Rapp immigrated to Jerusalem, Israel, from Toronto, Canada. Back in the “old country”, Marci and her friends had struggled to find a swimming cover that was both modest and suitable. “We wore cotton nightshirts, which were too short, heavy when wet, clingy, and remained damp & cold out of the water”, Marci laments.

With the warmer climate in Israel & easier access to beaches, opportunities to swim became more frequent. The problem still existed, what to wear to cover up?
· To cover up from the sun.
· To cover up age, weight or medical related imperfections.
· To cover up for religious modesty.

Over the last few years, the modest swimwear industry has evolved globally. However, few of the styles available were colourful, or suitable for women with full figures. MarSeaModest Swimwear was founded in 2009 to address these needs.

MarSea Modest UV Swim & Activewear designs attract women who appreciate the flexibility of modesty coverage options for every body type - from Petite to Plus-size, with separate and adjustable pieces. Styles are suitable for larger women, with fuller figures, DD+. Adjustable necklines, straps and waistbands are some of the style features. Length options are also offered for the skirts. Some styles are suitable as maternity wear.

MarSea Modest Swimwear offers women increased UV50+ sun-protection and comfortable coverage, while eliminating unwanted body exposure. Styles come in a variety of fashionable colours & sizes.

The MarSea Modest line includes Swim Dresses, Swim Skirts and Skorts, Swim Pants, Swim Tops, Swim/Sports Bras, and Swim Bandanas, all made from high quality Italian nylon/spandex swimwear fabric, which is UV protective, chlorine-resistant, non-transparent, lightweight, breathable and dries quickly. In the water, the fabric clings and is not heavy, to allow for easy swimming. Out of the water, the fabric releases the water & the fabric de-clings quickly.

MarSea Modest Swimwear is suitable for religious modesty coverage, for all religions including Jewish, Christian & Muslim. Women have ordered globally from the USA, Germany, Australia, Quatar, Sweden, Russia , UK, and S. Africa. Some women want coverage for their diving or snorkeling water activities. Our styles are also suitable for as workout activewear for exercising, yoga, biking, hiking, as well as swimming.

MarSea Modest added a line a modest casualwear, including Pencil Skirts, Midi and Maxi Skirts, 3/4 Tees and Tops, Lacey Leggings, Lacey Vests and BodySuits.
