TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
BODY SHAPE
Already popular in collections of women’s lingerie, the push-up bra is now available in our collections of swimsuit tops, to keep you looking good under all circumstances! The folded and knotted neck tie enhances your neckline. Mounted on an underwired band, it offers a firm hold and greater comfort. The neck tie can be used to adapt to your body shape. Particularly well suited to women with small or medium-sized busts who want to add volume.
YOU ARE A BEGINNER SURFER
You are learning to surf or surf only a few times a year, during your holidays or a surf trip. You stay where you can touch the bottom, in tiny waves or broken waves. You surf for the pleasure of being in the water and for the feeling you get from it. During your sessions, you often fall but you fall in waves that are not very powerful. We have designed a wide range of swimwear for you, to suit your occasional practice and your 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.
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 follow a test protocol in a pool at our design offices in Hendaye, south-west France. 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.
FEEL GOOD IN OUR SWIMWEAR
Our work centres on helping women to feel good in our swimsuits. The bust is not flattened, the bottoms don’t dig in, and the level of coverage varies. Our mission is to ensure that every woman can find a swimming costume that suits her body, whatever her shape or size.
What is a push-up effect?
These extra volume cups, which are built into the swimsuit top, push your bust upwards for a more feminine look, in which the two breasts join together to enhance your cleavage. This is called the push-up effect.
The Elena swimsuit top belongs to the maximum push-up category.
What are padded cups?
Shaped cups built in to the swimsuit top are flattering for your bust and sculpt your breasts into a rounded shape without having visible seams and avoiding irritation as opposed to cut and stitched foam pads. Olaian has kept you and your comfort in mind by favouring the use of padded cups in most of its models. The padded cups may be removable and, if so, they let you go up or down a half size.
The Elena push-up is fitted with fixed moulded cups on all sizes.
Adjustable padded cups
This means that they can be adapted to the size of the cup: maximum push-up (cup A and B) and light push-up on larger sizes.
Underwiring
Underwiring provides support around the breast for an optimal hold. Depending on the shape of the underwiring, we can create a selection of products that show varying levels of cleavage.
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, and you should feel supported. The elastane content 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.
