I’m Dani Kauahi, founder of Kauahi Swim and an Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi-based entrepreneur and content creator.

Growing up in Kāneʻohe, the ocean has always been a huge part of my life. From surfing, paddling, and swimming to playing Division I water polo in college, swimwear has always felt closely tied to who I am. Alongside my sisters, I grew up loving bikinis, trying different styles, and finding pieces that made us feel confident in and out of the water.

Kauahi Swim was created from a desire to see more swimwear that felt connected to Hawaiʻi and the place I call home. I wanted to build a brand that blends thoughtful design, flattering fits, and prints inspired by the islands, while creating something that feels elevated and personal.

My mission is to create swimwear that celebrates confidence, connection, and a love for the ocean.

Mahalo nui loa for being part of Kauahi Swim and this journey with me.
