Kelly Crump 2022: Dominican Republic


Kelly Crump makes her SI Swimsuit debut as a finalist for SI’s 2022 Swim Search being photographed by Yu Tsai shooting alongside Ashley Byrd, Gigi Robinson, ManjuLotta Hintsa, Mady Dewey, Sarafina El=Badry Nance, Hillory Fields, Victoria Vesce, Nicole Petrie, Michelle Fuente Steffen, Drew Dorsey, and Ashley Callingbull in the Dominican Republic.

Originally from Kernersville, N.C., and now living in London, Crump is a 42-year-old Stage IV breast cancer thriver who believes in body confidence, telling it like it is, spreading positivity, inspiration and little random acts of kindness. She is creating a new narrative for breast cancer survivors everywhere, turning survivors into thrivers.

Besides being the second-largest and most diverse Caribbean country, the Dominican Republic provides visitors with picturesque beaches, vibrant nightlife, world-class golfing and astounding natural beauty. The D.R. is filled with vivacious energy and the Swim Search finalists definitely carried that in their shoot.

Swim Search was the team’s last shoot of the year, and it wanted to wrap up in a celebratory manner with pastels and bright colors. The term “drunk Easter bunny” was definitely thrown around. If you’re looking for a new suit for summer—definitely get inspired here.
