Alright bikini babes, who's ready for Swim Week? Now that you have a handy guide on where to party and scope out your next summer suit, we'd say you are! Like we did last year, we're rounding up every single cool event that's open to the public, because even though IMG took a break this year, things are still poppin' with fashion shows, presentations, parties, and free flowing Peroni beers (seriously though, it feels like they're sponsoring everything).

See below for what we've found so far but keep checking in, as we'll be updating it throughout the week with new additions. And if you want to stay up to date with Swim Week news from an insider and industry perspective, make sure to follow our story stream and check out our insider's guide to navigating Swim Week.
