Art of the Cap: Natalie Coughlin x Adhemas Batista

Natalie’s Cap is officially Sold-Out. Purchase other Speedo ART OF THE CAP designs here. 

Natalie Coughlin, the most decorated U.S. female Olympian of all time, and Adhemas Batista, a Brazilian artist whose innovative illustrations and designs feature bold, beautiful colors, created a lyrical swim cap inspired by Natalie’s love of the ocean.

A California girl through and through, Coughlin grew up near the water and her cap’s wave-like design and colors reflect her love for swimming and her passion for the environment.   Coughlin is a long-time supporter of Right to Play, a global organization that uses sports to educate and empower children facing adversity; proceeds from Coughlin’s limited edition Speedo swim cap will go to the organization, which reaches one million children in regular weekly activities, teaching them critical life skills that affect positive, sustainable change.

Speedo USA, Art of the Cap“I thought Art of the Cap was such a fantastic idea,” said Coughlin.  “Not only does it help us give back to our charities but it gives us a creative outlet.”
