As of today, there are 51 days until summer. Are you ready?
Ah summer, I can see it now. Family barbecues, fresh raspberry lemonade, and a whole lot of swimming and water play.
Unfortunately though, swimming in my hijab, or head scarf, pretty much only consisted of putting my feet and ankles in the water. “Street clothes” are not allowed at any public pools. Enjoying the ocean meant rolling up my pants and letting the waves crash up over my feet. Fun stuff, huh?
If you’re like me and you no longer want to sit out on all the fun, I have the solution. Enter Modest Sea Swimwear. Their alternative swimwear collections feature full coverage and moderate coverage suits.
The quality of fabric is the polar opposite of “street clothes”. The Italian-made fabric features water repellent technology that drys quickly and and has high breath-ability. It also resists chlorine for a suit that will last you many, many summers.
I love this swimwear and thinks it will open new doors for hijabis that want to join the swim team or even become a life gaurd.
Full Cover Caroline Suit
Modest Sea has many beautiful options to choose from to suit your style. You can even mix and match to create the perfect swimwear for you.

I loved the Caroline suit, it looks effortlessly chic, I also loved the idea of mixing and matching . A lot of the younger girls that are not hijabi really have no option out there, I love that this will give them something to feel comfortable in while retaining their modesty.

Ooh I like so many! The Caroline is classy, and so is the Lauren one. I would totally wear one of these!

Thank you for this link. I used to swim a lot before I started wearing hijab, but haven’t been able to do my favorite sport due to modesty issues. I am so glad to see this. I like a lot of these, but if I have to pick one, it would be “Lauren”.
As far as a feedback goes, I really like the visor/scarf idea. Great idea!
I love the Nicole 2-piece swimsuit & the Eva 2-piece…not sure which one I would want more so cute!

Thank you for the opportunity.
I like the lauren 3 piece swimsuit i think its modest but stylish i like black and white together. I also like how it falls on the body it seems to make you look thinner and elongates your waist love it
I heard about you from my sister rema! i am really liking that modestsea website wow!
Salaams,
I really like Amelia…clean, classy and even i would wear it
thanks Amnah, great find.

Big fan of Modest Sea. I love the Caroline suit, simple yet very elegant. I own the Brooke suit, the material is really good, and it really doesn’t stick to the skin when you get out of the water. Stylish yet functional, it’s a summer must-have!
Shared it on Facebook!
yaaay thanks for sharing this!!!!
Interesting line of modest swim wear.I liked the Amelia and also liked the ideas of the visor/head scarf…sharing on facebook…
My favorite style is Brooke because of the pants are not as tight around the calves (like the Caroline appears). It would be awesome if the Caroline style could have not-so-tight pants around the calves like the Brooke (or even slightly looser?).

I love ‘ameLia ‘ and ‘Emma’, they have shiny colors and also wide legs,but i wish they could make it wider though.
I shared your st on my facebook.
I’ve been searching for something like this for ages! Not a huge fan of the burkini, but these are gorgeous! I especially liked the Caroline and Lauren. Now if only I could afford it…:)

Awesome giveaway! I love Lauren and Brooke! And caroline too! My MIL bought me something similar from Egypt but these look way more chic! I’m in love!

I personally liked to mix & match the Alex & Sabrina set. I really liked the style of the swimming suit, except I think the head piece is just a tad bit awkward what with the tie-back, etc. I love the colorful pattern on the Sabrina swimsuit dress!

I really liked the Amelia swimsuit, this flower in the side makes all the difference. So beautiful. Thank you for sharing,
