Past Swim Search winners have gone on to not only land the cover of the SI Swimsuit Issue, but launch acting careers, secure television hosting gigs, design their own jewelry and swimsuit lines and much more.

Take it from Kostek, co-winner of the inaugural 2018 Swim Search, who went on to earn the cover of the magazine as a rookie the following year. She’s posed for the SI Swimsuit Issue each year since, and this year, was named a brand legend.

“[My] big advice to give to the girls that are going to apply this year and in future years to come is just think about yourself. Be in competition with yourself,” she urges. “Don’t compare yourself to any other submissions. Don’t compare yourself to any past submissions. Be inspired and be motivated by them, but lean into what makes you you and what makes you unique.”
