Olympic Medalist Alex Walsh & U.S. National Champion Gretchen Walsh’s Design Journey
Taking their creative collaboration with Sporti Swim to new heights, the dynamic sister-duo, Olympic Silver Medalist Alex Walsh and U.S. National Champion Gretchen Walsh, invite you to escape the ordinary and dive into their world with their second Sporti Swim collection.
Following the recent NCAA NIL policy change, the Walsh sisters were the first collegiate swim athletes in history to team up with a nationally recognized swim brand for a co-branded collection. This second collection comes on the heels of the sisters’ continued accomplishments in the sport, including Gretchen recently breaking the NCAA record to become the world’s fastest 100yd backstroker.
Inspired by the vibrant glamour and mid-century design of Palm Springs alongside the stunning golden hours of Joshua Tree, the Sporti x Alex & Gretchen Walsh ‘Palm Springs Swim Collection’ transforms every training session into a pool party – all set in the heart of Southern California’s desert paradise.
Capturing the essence of effortless chic, the visual narrative of the Sporti x Alex + Gretchen Walsh Collection takes a page from the iconic photography of Slim Aarons, specifically drawing inspiration from Aarons’ celebrated work, “Poolside Gossip.”

In her second collection with Sporti Swim, Alex channels the vibrant colors and mid-century architecture of Palm Springs into her unique designs. From “Desert House,” an ode to Palm Springs’ iconic landscape and aesthetic, to “Super Bloom,” a playful mix of geometric shapes and retro, chintz florals, Alex’s collection embodies her vibrant and fun spirit.
