| 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. |
| Body shape |
With its very feminine halterneck cut, the Clea 1-piece swimsuit suits all body shapes. The plunging V-neckline is ideal for women who want to highlight their bust. The detachable padded cups built into the swimsuit redefine the curve of the bust. The back and shoulders are open. The seams under the bust guarantee a harmonious silhouette. The medium leg cut is very comfortable. |
| 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 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. |
| This swimsuit has removable padded cups |
The removable padded cups provide flexible sizing and therefore let you go up or down a half size. |
| 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. |
