The Lake Shark 2023 Online Store is live!

The Lake Shark's eComm Store Launches to Delight FINtastic Fans across the USA

📍Springfield, IL — January 2024:

The Lake Shark, a bold new swimwear and apparel brand inspired by sea critters, scuba life, and Midwestern lake culture, officially launched its online storefront late last year — bringing a splash of color, size-inclusivity, and eco-conscious style to water adventurers across the U.S.

Founded by a passionate cold-water scuba diver and Midwest-based designer, The Lake Shark was created to fill a much-needed gap in the market: fun, flattering, and functional gear for people who are obsessed with quirky critters — especially those living far from tropical coastlines.

The brand launched with a diverse collection of rash guards, leggings, and accessories bursting with vibrant nudibranch slug prints, hammerhead sharks, and metallic-toned octopus patterns. 

“Our mission from day one has been to celebrate the fun we have diving, living the lake life, & the amazing creatures we see in the underwater world through designs that are bold, bright, consciously made, and totally unique,” said the brand’s founder.

“We’re especially proud to manufacture every piece right here in the USA and to offer the highest-quality sun protective eco fabrics with size-inclusive fit options. Personally I'm stoked to FINALLY have swimwear with sea slugs and sharks on it - that fits me!”

Throughout late 2023, the brand focused on product testing, design refinement, and building a small but passionate early community of aquatic adventurers — including cold-water divers, warm-water wanderlusters, and sea creature superfans. The full ecommerce site, www.TheLakeShark.com, officially launched in Q4 and continues to expand.

Looking Ahead: Big Things in 2024

Following its strong debut, The Lake Shark has announced plans to expand its product line and explore future collaborations with other small, like-minded organizations. New drops are expected throughout this next year, including fresh designs and additional style options for both men and women.

"We’re just getting started," said the founder. “This brand was built by a diver, for divers — but we’ve been really excited to see our designs also connecting with paddleboarders, swimmers, and many more folks who also love our bold prints, amazing critters, and friendly lake life vibes.”
