My little tomboy, Lilah, really wants to go camping this summer. If this weather ever decides to cooperate, we’ll be taking her. She has been telling us that she wants to wear her favorite pair of Le Top cargo shorts (from a past season “Camp Out” collection) on the trip, the trouble is she’s outgrown them. I just HAD to bring her home something new to replace them – lucky girl. She put the whole outfit on the second I showed it to her. It’s from the Le Top Summer 2011 “Chameleon Camouflage” collection. A sporty tee-shirt with lightweight parachute pants that convert into shorts is like having two outfits in one. The pants have tons of pockets to carry all those necessities for a child’s adventure. Though they are little big, since they are really designed for boys, I think they are adorable on her. Now …the weather.

1. What was the inspiration/ behind starting e-store – swimoutlet.com?
SwimOutlet.com started as a website called SwimLessions.com. Our CEO had the idea to create a website where swim students could connect to instructors. The site grew to include locators for public pools, directories for swim schools and an aquatic job board.
Selling swim products was the next step in its natural progression. Today, SwimOutlet.com is the largest online specialty shop for swimming, water polo, fashion, beach, and surf products in the US.
