Hear directly from our founder, Lauren, why POST SWIM was created.
We believe swimwear should never feel limiting or intimidating.
Whether you’re looking for more coverage, gentle support, or a piece that simply feels comfortable and flattering, POST SWIM is designed to give women options — without sacrificing quality, style, or ease.
POST SWIM was created to fill a gap in the swimwear industry — one where comfort, coverage, and confidence are not afterthoughts.
So often, women are asked to choose between style and support. We design swimwear that offers both. From adjustable coverage to supportive construction, our pieces are made to adapt to your body and your needs — whatever stage of life you’re in.
Because feeling comfortable in your body should never be a luxury.
POST SWIM is deeply personal. Each collection, color, and pattern carries meaning — inspired by real women, real stories, and real resilience.
From suit names honoring family and close friends, to subtle design details like the daffodil illustration drawn by Lauren’s nephew — a symbol of strength and renewal — every element reflects the heart behind the brand.
Even the numbers woven into POST SWIM’s foundation hold significance, representing milestones in Lauren’s healing journey and transformation. They serve as a reminder that growth can come from the most unexpected chapters.
OUR MISSION
To design thoughtfully designed swimwear that gives women control - control over coverage, fit, and how they feel in their bodies.

Our Styles
With a background in fashion, Lauren set out to create swimwear that went beyond trends. The goal was not just to design pieces that looked good, but pieces that felt good — offering thoughtful coverage, gentle support, and confidence without compromise.
POST SWIM designs consider a wide range of bodies and needs, all made right here in sunny California.
Our suits are designed with intention to provide options for all types of coverage: including women who have experienced mastectomies, lumpectomies, reconstruction, C-sections, hysterectomies, and other surgeries — while remaining inclusive and wearable for all women.
Sometimes you want to show your story. Sometimes you don’t. POST SWIM exists to give you that choice.
OUR FOUNDER
POST SWIM was founded by Lauren Yerkes after her life changed unexpectedly in 2022.
At 37 years old, just days before her 38th birthday, Lauren was diagnosed with breast cancer. What followed were months of treatments, surgeries, and healing — a period that reshaped not only her body, but her relationship with it. During that time, Lauren struggled to find swimwear that felt supportive, flattering, and comfortable for her changing body.
Despite years of experience in the fashion industry, she realized something was missing: swimwear that truly supported women who had been through physical change — whether from surgery, medical treatment, pregnancy, or simply life itself.
POST SWIM was born from that realization.
Designed for all women, with breast cancer survivors in mind, POST SWIM creates thoughtful, scar-friendly swimwear focused on comfort, coverage, and confidence. Have questions about fit, coverage, or post-surgery swimwear? Visit our FAQs.
