A long awaited advancement in sports wear, Sun Dry Technologies, a division of Solestrom International, has launched a line of active wear fabric that repels wetness and dries within moments. Sun Dry Swim™ features quick dry nanotechnology enhanced active wear fabric that sheds water as naturally as skin. Once removed from water, wetness surfaces and beads off Sun Dry Swim™ fabric, after wearing the bathing suits are simply shaken to dry.

Sun Dry Swim Tank SuitAmy Hardin, Sales Manager at Sun Dry Technologies explains the technology as "Optimal technical performance paired with ultimate comfort. Sun Dry Swim™ fabrics are treated using our proprietary methods with a nanotechnology process that is inert, UV stable, and completely harmless to skin. The non-toxic nanotechnology treatment is water based and environmentally friendly"
Sun Dry Swim™ fabric has an invisible nanotechnology mesh around each fabric fiber, creating a permanent water repelling material without interfering with the fabric weave. This effect creates an easy to clean, breathable protected surface with water resistant properties, the material cannot soak up liquid, while the fabric still looks and performs like top quality swimsuit fabric.
Amy goes on say "Sports wear fabrics that repel water seems like an unusual concept at first, but it really makes sense - why would you want a bathing suit that absorbs water, holds it next to your skin, and stays wet for a period of time? Our textiles are created using proven and safe materials nanotechnology, similar to technology used to make fabrics for splash and stain proof apparel. Sun Dry Swim™ water resistant performance fabrics are ideal for swimming and other active water sports. Sun Dry Swim Sport line is made from a premium sports wear fabric and offers a high level of chlorine resistance and color fastness. Our Children's swimsuits offer an additional feature of SPF 50 rating and are ideal for children who are in and out of water at the beach or pool all day. The bathing suits dry within moments so prevent little ones being in a wet bathing suit for long as soon as they are out of the water. As a mom I've found these bathing suits an essential time saver especially when we go to the cottage and the kids are swimming every day. My kids aren't in wet bathing suits all day at the beach, and at the end of the day their suits are dry! I don't end up with a bag of damp bathing suits to rush to wash and get hung up as soon as we get home. I just wait until the next morning to give the suits a quick rinse, shake to dry and their suits are ready for the day."
