Scarlett Loughlin, Founder, TRIESSS Fashionable Athletic Swimwear

Scarlett is a current sophomore at Pace University Pforzhheimer Honors College. She is a student athlete, currently taking on two internships and designing her own swimwear line. Active member of the Pace University Women’s Swimming and Diving team, she has been swimming for all of her life. Aside from swimming, she practices yoga, surfing, blogging, and has a passion for fashion. One morning at swim practice this past summer, the idea to create a bathing suit fit for the lifestyle of a fashion guru athlete like herself popped into her head. The thoughts turned into ideas, the ideas turned into a plan, and quickly the soon-to-be brand TRIESSS •Swim•Sand•Surf• was to be born. Now with the help of Pace University’s eLab and the Ted and Pat Levine Entrepreneurial Grant, she is dedicated to working on TRIESSS and making her passion collide with her dreams come true.
