Alma Ocean was created to celebrate YOU. We provide unique products & resources which will make you feel acknowledged and elevated while luxuriating on any water scene. Founder Danielle Hodge, noticed something major was missing when she shopped online or in stores for pool accessories. With roots deeply grounded in Guyanese culture, Danielle, who loves to swim herself, noticed the lack of diversity and support for water activities and swimming resources.
Danielle said, "I rarely ever saw someone who looked like me or saw a pool accessory that was a MUST HAVE when it came to design & functionality.” Danielle wasn’t alone in having the desire to see uplifting images and cultural representation of water products. Feeling left out, she knew she wasn’t alone with others who understood and wanted to change the under-representation of culture in water accessories. Danielle’s family & friends became the first community to assist in establishing a strong foundation by providing insight and lending hands to help pack and ship orders. She intends to continue to launch different aquatic products as Alma Ocean grows. The main goal is to get more people comfortable in the water and to partner with swim schools and swim coaches to drop the drowning statistics in the Black community.
You might wonder how Danielle came up with the name Alma Ocean. Alma means soul, compassion and humanity and the Ocean is a healing body of water. Danielle thought the world could use a bit of both and landed the name Alma Ocean.
