STORY BEHIND THE SPRINGSUIT
By Yanita Yancheva

This springsuit is a reflection of my journey—from rhythmic gymnastics to surviving on the TV show Survivor, to becoming a freediving record holder for Bulgaria. The design represents the connection between softness and power.

One of my most unforgettable experiences came when an orca approached me while silky sharks swam beneath me. Floating between such strength and elegance reminded me that the ocean teaches us balance—and this is what inspired the design.

As a professional athlete and activewear designer, I created this springsuit to feel like a second skin—functional, comfortable, yet feminine. It's for all women who love being around the water, whether freediving, surfing, swimming, or any watersport where you want to feel powerful and graceful.

UV protection
Full coverage protects your shoulders, back, and chest during long days on the water, while extended sleeves with thumb holes also shield the back of your hands from harsh UV rays.

Full flexibility
This springsuit isn’t just for looks—built with premium Yamamoto 39 neoprene sandwiched between an interior and exterior lining, it delivers the flexibility you need for freediving, surfing, and underwater movement without restriction.

Extra warmth
Stay comfortable in cooler waters with Yamamoto 39 neoprene that provides more warmth than a swimsuit, yet gives you more style points than diving in a hooded wetsuit top.

Eye-catching design
Make a statement in and out of the water with a striking white base color and blue accents that flatter your curves and photograph beautifully underwater.

Care Instructions

• Before putting on your springsuit, ensure your skin is completely dry—no water droplets or sweat. Wet skin causes the inner fabric to stick, making the springsuit difficult to put on and potentially causing tears.
• Thoroughly rinse your springsuit in cold or lukewarm fresh water (max 30°C / 86°F) directly after every dive. Avoid hot water, as it can degrade neoprene and adhesives. If you do not have a chance to rinse immediately, leave your springsuit in a bag with some seawater—do not let salt water dry on your springsuit and do not machine wash.
• After rinsing in fresh water, allow your springsuit to air dry inside out in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Hang on a wide, padded hanger or lay flat to prevent stretching. Do not dry your springsuit in direct sunlight, near a fire, near central heating systems, or in a clothes dryer.
• Avoid sharp objects (nails, jewelry, rough surfaces), direct sunlight and heat sources (radiators, hot cars), machine washing or drying, and folding or creasing during storage, as these can puncture, tear, crack, fade, deform, or weaken the material over time.
• Avoid excessive stretching when dry (pulling too hard on sleeves/legs), as this can damage the neoprene's elasticity.
• From time to time, wash your springsuit with a wetsuit-specific shampoo. Follow directions closely. Remove grease, oil, and other stains using a wetsuit-specific degreaser. Never use petroleum products on your springsuit.
• Store your dry springsuit properly: Short-term storage on a wide, padded hanger in a cool, dry place. Long-term storage by laying flat in a storage bag, lightly folded with no tight creases.
