Who else is in the mood for sunflowers and sunshine🌻☀️? Our people in New York *cough cough*.

Right now, our tube float is $30 and our pool is $40 and every purchase does more than look cute. According to the CDC, nearly 2 out of 3 Black children and adults do not know how to swim. That’s why each purchase helps support children and adults learning how to swim through .

We’re not just a brand, we’re saving lives!

Every purchase helps fund swim lessons for children and adults. Building confidence in and around the water isn’t just important, it’s life-changing.

Truth is, a lot of people think they don’t need swim lessons… until it’s too late.

You know the saying…stay ready so ya don’t have to get ready. 🫶🏾🌊

We’re not just showing out on the water scene, we’re making a difference!

Our founder, , survived a near-drowning as a child. Instead of letting fear win, she learned how to swim and turned her story into a mission, inspiring kids to start early and reminding adults it’s never too late to learn.

Every time you support Alma Ocean, you’re helping us build confidence, courage, and community in and around the water. Each purchase helps fund a swim lesson, thanks to you!

We’re pouring love back into aquatics until every one of us has the audacity to learn how to swim. Who knew Alma Ocean would be the culture shift we never knew we needed. 💙🌊
