Bathing Boomers is a swimwear company made by older women, for older women – and it’s taking 2022’s summer style by storm. The dynamic founders, 67-year-old Velvet Haney, and 74-year-old Rachel Manley originally crafted the swimwear, not for the public, but for themselves, to embrace the summer sun in its entirety.
Bathing Boomers has developed into a movement and a community that empowers mature women to embrace the warm weather unapologetically and without apprehension or self-consciousness. Bathing Boomers are a relief for women in their fifties, sixties, seventies, and beyond who want to wear flattering swim dresses in public!

"We need to cover up all our jiggly bits and bumps," says Haney. "I'm not ashamed. I'm realistic about my body - and as a former modelI swore I'd never go on a diet ever again - but I also want to feel dignified and comfortable."
"The quality is unparalleled, the material so whisper soft and comfortable, not to mention adequately sized and proportioned for – yes! – camouflage and mind-ease of motion. What an all-inclusive big treat – it feels like winning the lottery (I can only imagine), and I will wear your fashions with much enjoyment. And BB-promotion every chance I get! 😊"

"What I love about Bathing Boomers is that you can confidently go swimming or hang out on the dock or at the pool without your arms or tummy being on display. I am also pleasantly surprised as to how comfortable the suit is! Thank you for creating a suit that helps us accept ourselves and still feel comfortable."

"Love this idea! Just to be able to walk in and out of the water without feeling self conscious would be wonderful! I hate showing my upper arms and my curves are now too ample (in my opinion) to look good in a normal swimsuit!"
