The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Perfect Sporty Swimwear
We know how difficult it can be to find a swimsuit that's practical, comfortable, durable AND flattering! Read our guide to find the best fit for you, based on your swim routine, fit preference and body shape.
Swim style
Competitive swimmers
For our girls who swim multiple times a week, we always recommend our Longevity-Eco Collection. These pieces are made from a more durable fabric than our Luxe-Eco Collection. Both are chlorine resistant, but for 5+ pool sessions per week you might want to opt for our Longevity range!
Open water swimmers
If you usually swim in open water, we recommend our Longevity-Eco Collection too. This fabric is much stronger and long-lasting than our Luxe-Eco. We also recommend a tight fit for the most support if you're battling the currents!

Swimming for leisure or fitness
For our girls who swim 1-2 times per week, we recommend our Luxe-Eco Collection. These pieces are chlorine-resistant, super soft and comfortable for swimming laps. We always recommend rinsing your suits in fresh water after you get out of the pool to make them last as long as possible!

Height
Tall
If you're 5'8 or taller, we recommend our Karma Collection in the 'Tall' length. These pieces have all of the same measurements as the 'Regular' length, but an extra 5cm in the torso. We created this range for our girls who struggle with most onepiece's being too short!
Do note that the height recommendations are only a guide, we also suggest going for the 'Tall' range if you are under 5'8 but have a particularly long torso!
Shop Tall
Average or Petite
For our girls 5'7 and under, our Regular length in the Karma Collection should be perfect. You can also shop any of our other collections, as we currently only have the Regular length in these.
Do note that the height recommendations are only a guide, we also suggest going for the 'Tall' range if you are under 5'8 but have a particularly long torso!

Fit preference
If you prefer a tighter fit
If you prioritise perfromance, you'll likely prefer a tighter fit. This will help to reduce drag and provide more support. In this case, we recommend our Luna Or Aura Collection, which both fit a little smaller than other styles. Or if you prefer, you could size down in whichever piece you prefer!
Comfort first
If you want a swimsuit that's comfortable for relaxing by the pool or doing a few laps, we'd recommend our Karma or Prana Collections. These styles are super soft and fit true to size. If you want a little more coverage, you could size up one on your regular swimsuit size!
