$1 from every Big Swim Co sale is donated to the Environmental Defenders Office in Australia who fight for legislative change to protect our natural environment, giving the planet a voice in the legal system. They run groundbreaking legal cases and advocate for better laws to help build a world where nature survives and thrives. Their work spans protecting Country and culture, protecting habitats and wildlife, tackling climate change, sustainable water sharing, promoting healthy communities, and defending the defenders.

We are committed to fair working conditions. Our friends in Bali who make our swimwear provide all employees above minimum wage, paid time off, medical insurance, lunch, overtime, and comfortable working conditions. They also contribute monthly to the Bali Street Mums charity, which offers assistance to caregivers and children who scavenge for their livelihood, providing them safe houses, health care, toiletries, clothing, and reading and writing skills.

Look after your hat so you can wear it summer after summer. Wash by hand in cold water and let dry completely dry before putting it away for your next adventure. Avoid machine washing and detergents. Dry flat instead of ironing.
