“I am a mum, wife, sister, daughter and aunt. But most of all I am ME!”

I wear many hats—mum, wife, sister, daughter, and aunt—but most of all, I am me. I enjoy music (listening to and playing), reading, watching movies, and spending time with my family. These are the things that bring me joy when I’m not working.

“I have been in the aquatics industry since 2017.”

Since 2017, I’ve worked in the aquatics industry. I started out as a swim teacher and now I’m the coordinator of a swim school. I absolutely love what I do—there’s something really rewarding about helping people feel confident and safe in the water.

“As a plus size girl I struggled for years to find swimmers that fit.”

Being in and around water every day meant I needed swimwear that could keep up with me. As a plus-size girl, I struggled for years to find swimmers that actually fit well and could be worn comfortably for long periods. It was a constant frustration.

“That is until I found OceanRoad Swimwear.”

That all changed when I found OceanRoad Swimwear. It’s honestly the best thing I’ve ever discovered for spending hours in the water. Nothing rides up, nothing falls down, and it just feels so good to wear. I’m so thankful I came across this brand—I can’t recommend it enough.

“All women should be celebrated and not feel like they should be hidden away.”

I truly believe that all women should be celebrated and never feel like they need to hide themselves away. I’m proud to support a brand that embraces women of all shapes and sizes. Thank you, Tanya, and thank you OceanRoad Swimwear, for making us feel seen and supported.
