The Swim Shady is engineered with a focus on stability and functionality, making it different from traditional beach umbrellas. Unlike umbrellas that can blow up and away, the Swim Shady’s industrial design ensures it stays grounded, even in windy conditions. The Swim Shady can pivot slightly in the direction of the wind during strong gusts. With its durable materials, adjustable hinge, and proper use of the sand screw for maximum resistance, the Swim Shady provides reliable sun protection without the hassle of chasing it down the beach.

When set up, the Swim Shady measures
approximately 4 ft 7 in long and 3 ft 3 in wide, making it a compact and practical option for providing shade. When collapsed, it measures just 23 inches, making it easy to pack into luggage or beach bags, enhancing its portability for both local beach days, holidays and outdoor adventures.

They key to setting up your Swim Shady is to ensure the sand screw piece has found maximum resistance in the sand - our inbuilt handle ensures this with ease!
