Advocate Apparel Inspired by the Floridan Aquifer and springs

Florida evokes daydreams of white sandy beaches and palm trees – but perhaps the most magnificent water in Florida lies just out of sight. In the Sunshine State, water fills the limestone cavities of the Floridan aquifer beneath our feet. This is the source of drinking water for 92% of Floridians. But this water is not always hidden - where it finds its way to the surface, it forms marvelous freshwater springs, which support not only human life in Florida but also incredibly diverse and unique aquatic ecosystems. In fact, Florida is home to the highest density of freshwater springs in the world – more than 1,000 of them dot the karst landscape of the sunny peninsula.

Unfortunately, increasing development and growing pressures on water resources are having negative impacts on Florida’s springs. Over the past 15 or 20 years, Florida’s burgeoning population has had a plethora of consequences for the springs, namely decreases in flow due to over-pumping and a transition from native underwater grasses to nasty algae. Nitrate levels in the springs have skyrocketed and ecosystem dynamics have changed as food webs are altered.

Lust for Waterlust

This is probably the best swimming/sun suit I have ever purchased. I’m 5/10 and weight 225 with wide hips/thighs and the 1x fits me perfect! I always had issues with one pieces fitting me right but this fit like a dream. The sleeves have a little bit more space around the wrists so things like watches or other wrist wraps don’t push the material. The thumb holes are awesome and don’t feel like they are straining my hands while swimming or paddling. I’ve gone spearfishing and kayaking in this and did not get charred to a cinder from the sun! The material dried pretty quick out of the water. Overall I’m definitely going to get more and honestly I’d give it more stars if I could!

Need legs

Really bad fit. My butt looks horrible in this creation

Hi Louice,

I am so sorry to hear you are not happy with the fit of the sun suit. In regards to your comment about needing legs, we do have a Full Body version of the sun suit. This design has the same adjustable inseam lengths as our leggings with additional bar-tacks at 8in, 4in, or 2in to create a shorty.

Of course, if you are not 100% with the product we are happy to exchange it for a different product/size or return for a full refund, with shipping costs on us. Shoot us an email at hello@waterlust.com if you need assistance navigating our returns system.

Great suit!

Quality was above my expectations. The sizing is accurate. A little tight around my thighs, but otherwise looks great. Snug around neck, but I think it’s supposed to be that way.
