Interesting....

In 1907 Annette Kellerman was arrested on a Boston beach for wearing a tight fitting one piece bathing suit, (above). Now fast forward to 2009 and in France and Italy they have enacted a ban on the "Burkini". (on right) My how times have changed. Rica fully supports everyones right to wear whatever they want to the beach!! Although we prefer that you wear a bikini!

Facebook!

Well It took us long enough,

but we are now

officially on Facebook!

Look for Rica Swim and become our friends!!

We will leave you with

Joan Jett In a little bikini! Enjoy the smut!!

It's been a long time!!

Sorry that we haven't written to you. Please forgive us. We have been super busy but we are happy to announce that News 12 Bronx did a very positive piece on Rica. It highlights Bronx females working hard to make their dreams come true!! So I figured I would give you all this to make your dreams come true!! Happy Holidays! Kisses.
