Retro Vibes & Rainy Skies: Behind the Shoot

Some shoots are pure magic — not because everything goes perfectly, but because of the unexpected moments that make them unforgettable. Our most recent pool day was exactly that.

The forecast promised sunshine, but instead we found ourselves shooting under light rain showers. Far from ruining the day, the weather gave everything a playful, cinematic edge. Raindrops hitting the pool, music buzzing through tiny vintage speakers, and our team laughing between takes—it felt like the kind of summer memory you don’t plan, but never forget.

This shoot was extra special because it was our very first time capturing all the colors of our one pieces together. Seeing the full lineup side by side—the bolds, the classics, and the playful hues—brought the collection to life in a whole new way. Each shade popped against the moody backdrop, creating a contrast that made every frame feel iconic.

Of course, no pool day is complete without a little fun. We styled the scene with nostalgic props—retro iPods, MP3 players, and all the throwback accessories that spark memories of summers past. And the biggest star of the day (besides the bikinis) was the giant floating unicorn that made everyone laugh and brought that carefree energy we love so much.

It wasn’t the polished perfection of a clear-sky shoot, but that’s exactly what made it unforgettable. The rain, the nostalgia, the colors, and the laughter reminded us that Rhyle Swim is all about living in the moment—and designing bikinis and one pieces made for memories like these.
