Swim Collective’s Sales VP Jane Preston commented, “The Beach element has always been a part of our show, now the brands finally have a home where buyers can easily shop the category.”

Indeed, by concentrating Beach into one convenient location within the show, Swim Collective seems to be seeking to facilitate the work of brands and buyers, while also recoginizing the increased importance of the category. 

"The show captures a crucial audience of specialty retailers, boutiques, department stores and online avenues all in one tradeshow,” said Annique Wills, marketing specialist for Koy Resort. Wills added that Koy Resort will be launching its Cruise 2019 line at Beach at Swim Collective.

Beach will be centrally located on the show floor within Swim Collective. It will be adjacent to Active Collective and open on August 1 and 2.
