Maternity Swimsuits

Of course! At decathlon.com.gr you will find maternity swimsuits specially designed to offer maximum comfort, freedom of movement, and the right support your body needs during pregnancy—whether for your summer dips or your aqua aerobics and aquafitness workouts. These models are made from highly elastic and soft materials that hug the baby bump without applying pressure, following your body's changes month by month. Additionally, they feature built-in bust support for stability, as well as smart side ruching or adjustable straps, so they adapt perfectly to your needs, offering a completely secure and stylish fit both in and out of the water.

There is no specific month or week to start wearing a maternity swimsuit, as every woman's body changes at its own pace. The general rule is to make the transition as soon as you start feeling that your regular swimsuit is tight around the belly area, cuts into the bust, or no longer offers the stability you need. For most pregnant women, this moment comes around the beginning of the second trimester (between the 14th and 20th week), when the belly begins to round out and the bust grows noticeably. Choosing a specialized swimsuit ensures that its elastic composition and side ruching will follow your body's growth up until the ninth month, providing the comfort you need for every swim. However, if you do not prefer a classic one-piece maternity swimsuit, an excellent alternative is to choose a comfortable bikini swimsuit, combining a supportive top with a low-rise bottom that fits under the belly, ensuring the comfort you need for every dip.

To choose the right size for a maternity swimsuit, the golden rule is to buy the size you wore before getting pregnant. Maternity clothes and swimsuits at Decathlon are already designed based on the bodily changes of pregnancy, featuring extra fabric, special ruching on the sides, and great elasticity to adjust to your bump as it grows. If, however, during pregnancy you have gained more weight than expected or feel that your bust size has increased by several sizes, then it is preferable to choose one size larger than your normal size. In any case, before making your purchase, it is a good idea to consult the size guide on the product page, measuring your bust and hip circumference to ensure the perfect and most comfortable fit.

Yes, swimming with a maternity swimsuit in the third trimester is completely safe and, in fact, is considered one of the most ideal forms of exercise for this period, provided that the pregnancy is progressing smoothly and you have your doctor's approval. The great advantage of swimming in the third trimester is the buoyancy of the water, which reduces the feeling of weight from the belly, relieves pressure on the lower back and joints, and offers a unique sense of lightness. The specialized maternity swimsuits you will find at decathlon.com.gr ensure that your belly is properly supported without any pressure, while the bust remains secure. The only things to look out for at this stage are to avoid very hot water, to swim at a gentle pace without exhausting yourself, and to be very careful when moving outside the pool or at the beach; for this reason, it is recommended to use non-slip water shoes to prevent any slips and to have absolute stability with every step.

Of course you can! A maternity swimsuit is extremely useful during the postpartum period as well. After giving birth, the body needs time to recover, and the belly area remains soft and sensitive, especially if a C-section was performed. The great elasticity, soft fabric, and side ruching of the swimsuit offer the necessary comfort without compressing your body, while the built-in bust support is ideal for the needs of the breastfeeding period. Furthermore, if you choose a model with adjustable straps or a wide cut, it will make your first trips to the beach with the baby incredibly convenient.
