Body Glove Fashion story

In 1953, twin brothers Bill and Bob Meistrell co-founded   Body Glove when they designed the first practical wetsuit. It all began in a pool in Boonville, Missouri.

Bill and Bob were fascinated with the water. When they were 14 years old, they fashioned their own diving helmet out of a vegetable can and a tire pump. One explored the bottom of a pool reading magazines while the other held the air pump on the surface.
