About

Hi there I'm Charlee! I'm the founder of Mackerel Swim,
Mackerel Swim was born from a deep love of the ocean, adventure, and the bold spirit of my mom, Kelly Anne. This journey is more than just swimwear—it's a tribute to her fearless embrace of life and the values she instilled in me.
Kelly Anne was the heart behind "Mackerel Press," her beloved boutique company. She taught me to live boldly, to find beauty in every moment, and to chase dreams without hesitation. When she passed away after a courageous battle with cancer, I knew I wanted to carry her legacy forward in a way that honored her passion and strength.
In her honor, I retained part of her company name, creating Mackerel Swim—a brand that celebrates living fully, embracing every wave, and diving headfirst into life. Our first swimsuit was named after her, a small yet meaningful tribute to the woman who inspired it all.
At Mackerel Swim, we design with her spirit in mind: bold, confident, and unapologetically authentic. Each piece is created to empower you to feel your best, whether you're lounging on the shore or exploring the depths of the ocean.
Thank you for being part of this journey and for helping us keep Kelly Anne's legacy alive. A portion of every purchase supports breast cancer research at UCLA Cancer Center. Thank you for being part of this journey—let’s make waves together!
