White sandy beaches may take the spotlight, but Florida is home to 1,000 freshwater springs, the highest density in the world. A birds-eye-view of the forest often reveals a magnificent pool of freshwater emerging from the aquifer below. Jump in and you may experience the coveted feeling of flight as you soar in the air-clear water.

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.
Thankfully there are many passionate citizens and non-profit organizations that advocate for our springs, work to protect them, and raise awareness about their unique beauty as well as their decline. One of these groups is the Alachua Conservation Trust, a non-profit regional land trust created to address the need of protecting critical natural lands from development and degradation in North Central Florida. 10% of profits from our springs prints go their Young Leaders for Wild Florida program. YLWF supports participants to become Florida's next generation of environmental leaders through educational outdoor adventures, workshops with leaders in our community exploring environmental issues and career paths, and student-led advocacy projects.
"Thanks to the support of Waterlust and its customers, ACT's Young Leaders for Wild Florida Program continues to successfully provide youth education on freshwater springs protection and land protection to Florida's future generations of leaders. Partnering with Waterlust on these efforts is both rewarding and critical to conserving Florida's precious natural resources."

The suit is very nice and high quality but shipping abroad (to Spain) was a huge hassle (delayed arrival by 1 week plus problems with Fedex delivery) and customer service wasn't really helpful solving the issue. Quite disappointing.
Hi Juliana,
Thanks for taking the time to send us this feedback. We are so glad you are loving the new suit, but are extremely sorry to hear that you were disappointed with our customer service! Sometimes carriers face delays that are out of our control; however, when we received your first email regarding the issue with FedEx's initial delivery attempt, we called FedEx to see what we could do. As we communicated to you, the issue was caused by their system not showing your customs payment. We lodged a complaint with FedEx since you had paid 3 days earlier, and the delivery driver's actions were unacceptable. We located where the package was being held so that you could reach out to them directly to set up a new delivery time. Unfortunately, this all occurred on a Friday evening your time, and the location where the package was held had closed for the weekend.
We wish we had more control over our gear once it leaves our warehouse, but unfortunately, we have to trust the carriers to get the packages to each customer successfully. Our sincerest apologies that you did not feel supported by our team during this delivery issue. I know it must have been very frustrating dealing with delays and rude delivery drivers right before your trip!
If you have any futher questions or concerns over your order, do not hesitate to reach out to us at hello@waterlust.com.
The colors are wonderful! It fits as I had hoped (although I keep waiting for someone to make petite suits for the short-waisted). The fabric seems of really good quality although I haven't been in the water yet. Really pleased thus far. Thanks, Kathy
Amazing product, very beautiful and comfy, size guide reliable ! Got complimented on the first day :)
It’s fantastic fabric! Astonishing really! I got XL & it fit well on the butt but a bit too big in the bust. 48 hip, 40 waist, 45 bust inches - my measurements. Buying the full body suit in large to see if fits better. Love these products & everything waterlust stands for :)
Love it.
I just tried on the suit. It fits perfect and love the colors and design. I am a lap swimmer and hope it works out great with the long sleeves and thumb loop to cover your back of hands.
