“In 2023 I decided to take on the challenge of swimming the Dart10k to raise funds for Level Water. Whilst training, I couldn’t help but notice that while my swimsuits were bright, colourful and patterned, my wetsuit, and everyone else’s wetsuit was black. You couldn’t spot one swimmer from the next in the water, no one’s personalities were shining through what they were wearing - and everyone looked the same”
Caitlin, Wilda co-founder
