A pale-blue vintage swimming tee with “Hawaii Swimming / Aloha Aquatic” printed at the chest. The back is the main event: a freestyle swimmer beneath a rainbow, framed by orange hibiscus flowers and oversized Aloha Aquatic lettering. Believed to date from the 1980s, with a heavily faded neck label.

CONDITION

Worn vintage condition.

Fading and surface wear to the fabric and graphics. Small worn openings are visible along the back neckline. Visible stitching on the lower back appears to be a repair. The neck label is heavily faded and illegible. Please review the detailed photographs for condition.
