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.

Perfect

This top feels super sturdy and dependable. Like, you know the girls will be secure yet comfortable all day. The colors are so vibrant and bonus that it’s reversible and matches two Waterlust leggings and even other bottoms. Waterlust for the win!

Good for what it is, but it's NOT swimwear

I love the patterns, coverage, and support for marine conservation, and I thought this would be a great option for any activities by the water. I tried it out all summer long, and it's fine for playing with kids at the pool or beach, and even great for jogging and beach volleyball, but it is not swimwear, it's active wear, and I don't think that was super clear from the advertising I saw. The top feels like it's billowing like a sail if you try to actually swim in it. I thought maybe I had misjudged the size, so I tried ordering a size down too, but the size down is so tight that I practically can't get it off without assistance and it STILL drags like crazy if I try to swim in it. Functionally, this is basically a sports bra / supportive tank-top (and I do like that this item is better at not showing nipples through the fabric than those typically are). It's good for what it is, and would probably give it 4 stars for any other uses if it didn't include swimming in the description.
