Swimwear for Girls
SUN PROTECTION | INDEPENDENT DRESSING | ACTIVE | FUN
Just like us, it’s important to choose swimwear for little ones that they love and feel good in. You want them to be protected from the sun in a practical swimsuit that stays put. A zip up style offers protection from the elements, reduces the need for sunscreen all over, and stays in place.
Girls also love being independent. A zip up one piece allows for easy dressing that promotes independence. They can also choose from different styles, colours and prints to show off their personal style. If they like, they can even embrace the mini and me trend by matching with you or a friend.
Girls love cute swimsuits that let them swim and play all day
Swimwear for Young Women
ON TREND | VERSATILE | OPTIONS
Teens and young adults are all about embracing trends and trying new things. At this stage of womanhood, the body is developing and experiencing change. This could be a time of celebration or a period of self-consciousness. Finding a swimsuit that expresses your sense of style and helps you feel confident is the goal.
While some young women are open to embracing bikinis and skimpy cuts, others will want to keep covered. Fortunately there are options available for every need.

Pregnancy Swimwear
SUPPORTIVE | ADJUSTABLE | ADAPTING
Pregnancy is a wild ride! You never know exactly how things are going to go. Your body is in miracle mode, busy creating life. For some women, this means radical change in shape and size. Water is often a source of relaxation and support for many pregnant women. Water takes the weight of your belly to relieve your body, especially your back.
Swimming is also a low impact way to keep active as your body grows. A swimsuit that accommodates and supports your changing size and shape is essential. This could be a bikini set, a stretchy one piece, or a roomy swim dress. Look for shelf bra features to comfortably support your bust as underwires might be too restricting and aggravate your changing breasts.
Maternity swimwear should fit and support your changing body
Swimwear for New Mothers
ACCESSIBLE | SUPPORTIVE | COMFORTABLE
Having a new baby can be amazing and challenging at the same time. Whether you’re taking your little one to the beach or pool, or you’re enjoying some well-deserved “me time”, choosing the right swimsuit is a must.
The post partum body often needs extra support through the midsection and bust. A tummy control one piece, tankini top, or a high waisted bikini bottom will help your belly feel supported. These styles will also help take the strain off your back.
An accessible swimsuit is necessary if you are breastfeeding. Our guide to breastfeeding swimwear has everything you need to know about the best swimsuit styles for you. Fortunately, swimwear is made from stretchy fabric that makes accessibility a breeze.

Menopause Swimwear
COVERAGE OPTIONS | SUPPORTIVE | STYLISH
As women, we experience major hormone shifts throughout our lives. One of the biggest and most impactful of these events is menopause. It affects us physically, mentally, and emotionally. While this is a monumental change, it doesn’t mean an end to embracing the things we enjoy, including swimming.
Swimwear for women in menopause needs to be comfortable and supportive, but also stylish. This is not the time for us to give up on style and our love of fashion. It is possible to find beautiful swimsuits to fit and support our changing bodies and showcase our personal style.
If you’re feeling self-conscious about your changing midsection or growing bust, look for fun frills and gorgeous prints that take all the attention. Alternatively, a figure hugging swimsuit that holds you in and accentuates your curves, is another way to embrace your evolving silhouette and support your body.
As your body changes yet again, have fun with bright prints and feminine details
Swimwear for Mature Women
VARIETY | PRACTICAL | ACCESSIBLE
The fabulous Jane Fonda describes life after 60 as your third act. In this chapter, women settle into their bodies, knowing the hormonal rollercoaster is behind them. They have a better understanding of who they are and what they want, which can inspire confidence. Mature women feel free to embrace their personal style, whether that’s understated elegance, or a bright and bubbly love of colour.
Swimwear styles for older women are as varied as they are. There’s nothing stopping a woman over 60 from rocking a bikini at the beach or covering up for aqua aerobics. Rules do not exist for older woman or any other age or stage. Finding a swimwear solution that is right for you and your needs is the goal.
