| YOU ARE AN ADVANCED SURFER |
You surf intensively, and it is your favourite sport. During your sessions, you paddle out to the line-up, duck-dive under the breaking waves if you are on a shortboard, or turtle-roll if you are on a longboard. You show dedication in powerful waves of more than one metre. Your swimsuit must stay in place for each of your movements, whatever the strength of the wave. We have designed a range for you that is suited to your intensive surfing and body shape. |
| ACTIVE AT THE BEACH! |
Whether you be a surfer or enjoy bathing in the sea, you don’t want to lose your swimsuit! This is why we test all our swimsuits in the waves. Each model is designed for surfing and perfectly suits other water sports: stand-up paddle boarding, sailing, kite surfing, bathing, etc. |
| BODY SHAPE |
We have created the Dani one-piece for women wanting to surf waves of more than one metre without the risk of losing their swimsuit in the shore break or when duck diving under breaking waves. Ideal for surfing in warm water, its cut has been designed to limit chafing against the board and wax. Its feminine seams enhance the silhouette and do not crush the bust. Featuring a long back zip and a pull tab, it is easy to take on and off. |
| COMFORTABLE IN OUR SWIMWEAR |
Our aim is to help women feel good in our swimsuits. They do not squash the bust or dig in at the buttocks and there are different levels of coverage to choose from. Our mission is to ensure that every woman, whatever her body type or size, can find swimwear that suits her. |
| STAYS IN PLACE IN THE WAVES: THE TEST |
We design swimsuits that promise to stay in place in the waves. To test them, we use a panel of female surfers with different body shapes who will follow a test protocol in a pool at our design offices in Hendaye. This protocol aims to reproduce the sensations experienced by surfers when being thrown around by a wave. If this test is conclusive, we go surfing in the sea to test our swimwear in real conditions. |
| REMOVAL OF PLASTIC HYGIENE STICKERS FROM OUR SWIMWEAR |
From 2022, all women's swimsuits designed by Decathlon will be sold without plastic hygiene stickers. This ecision was made to help protect and reduce plastic use. Saving 940 km of plastic every year!
Please do your bit by always keeping your underwear on in our changing rooms. |
| DRY SIZING AND WET SIZING |
To ensure a perfect fit in the water, it is important to choose the right size while you are dry because once they are in the water, swimsuits become looser. We therefore recommend you buy the correct size. The swimsuit needs to fit snugly against your body in the fitting room, you should feel supported. The elastane contained in certain components used in the design of our swimsuits softens and relaxes in the water. |
| DO YOU WANT TO EXCHANGE YOUR SWIMSUIT? |
Is the size or style not suitable for you? Would you like to exchange it at your Decathlon store? No problem, just be sure not to cut off the label of the swimsuit in case you want to exchange it. |
| OLAIAN, DECATHLON'S SURF BRAND |
Based in Hendaye, in South West France, OLAIAN is Decathlon's new surfing and bodyboarding brand. In our offices at the water's edge, we can design a swimsuit and then on the same day test it directly in the sea to check it stays in place in the waves. |
