Pattie Byrnes is well known in the industry, being a keyplayer in the design, manufacturing and sales of swimwear since 1985. She has established herself as a “fit” expert, innovative designer and one of the most successful marketers of swimwear specifically designed by body type for women of every age, size and shape.
Pattie’s invention of the “body type” concept in 1987 revolutionized the way swimwear is purchased. Since every woman has her own particular needs and because there is little or no help on the sales floor, her body-typed designs have continued to fill an important void in the market. Pattie’s swimwear has always been designed to relieve the frustration that most women were experiencing when trying to find a swimsuit to fit their particular figure.
Now in 2012 she has decided to take her 22 years of swimwear design experience and create something new, exciting and fresh! The brand targets the needs of women today!
Pattie Byrnes, president of Fit 4 U® Innovative Swim Solutions, is a nationally recognized swimwear expert and spokesperson. She travels throughout the country giving fit seminars and lectures. Byrnes and her swimwear have appeared on numerous television programs, as well as in countless magazine and newspaper articles. A representative list of appearances is below:
