Originators of Swim Separates

Founded in 1982 in Jacksonville, Florida, VENUS’ heritage is rooted in swimwear. Unconventional beginnings designing posing suits for bodybuilding competitors led our founders to sell bikini tops and bottoms separately to fit their unique measurements. Women who were not bodybuilders began buying VENUS suits, revealing that we were the only retailer whose swimwear allowed women to find their perfect fit. Customers could mix-and-match tops and bottoms to choose their most flattering pairing, making VENUS the originators of swim separates.

VENUS Cares

Sustainability is in our DNA. We're committed to socially- and environmentally-responsible business practices that positively impact both people and the planet.

Our core swim solids are designed with recycled fabrics crafted from repurposed pre- and post-consumer materials, assuring that these suits have a reduced environmental footprint. By using recycled fibers, we conserve natural resources, reduce the use of chemicals and emit fewer carbon emissions in the production process.

From our swimwear made of recycled materials to the solar energy that powers our headquarters, we're actively working to integrate efficient resources throughout the production of our products.
