Fitting guide: Best swimwear for jumping waves

If you’re anything like us, you’ve loved jumping waves or diving off rocks for as long as you can remember. But, if you’re anything like us, jumping waves and diving off rocks have caused a wardrobe malfunction at least once in your life.

A top design priority for Rosie, Deakin & Blue’s founder, is that our swimwear should be up to the task of holding us no matter what. No falling down bikini bottoms, no escaping breasts. We want swimsuits and bikinis that support our antics.

Here are our favourites for beach-based adventures, exploits and capers.

Best swimsuit for jumping waves

Step up The Signature Swimsuitin show-stopping Violet & Rose. Not only is it bright and beautiful, but it’s also insanely supportive. Clever tailoring, double-layered fabric, a high neckline and great bum coverage means that you can jump waves with ultimate confidence. Hell, you could cartwheel through the waves, backflip across the sand and finish with the splits if you so desired.

We love:Colours that brighten up everyone’s day.

Top tip:Like all our swimwear, this swimsuit is extra durable. Just make sure you rinse out all that sand and salt with fresh, clean water after use.

Best swimsuit for sea swimming

If you spot a rock out to sea and think, ‘I could swim round that’, then we have the swimsuit for you. The reversible X-Back Swimsuit in Wild Iris and Cobalt is so soft and supportive. The smooth seams mean no chafing while the wide cross-back will stay in place while you swim. And the bright, brilliant Wild Iris print will ensure your loved ones and the beach lifeguard can spot you while you swim.

We love:The reversible design that gives you double the swimsuit.

Top tip:If you’re swimming out from the beach or across to a neighbouring cove, let the lifeguards know and take a tow-float for added safety and visibility.

Best bikini for the beach

The seaside really awakens that inner child. So, whether you’ve got children with you or not, you need your swimwear to cope with all kinds of movement. Too many bikinis are too flimsy or precariously fitted for a game of rounders. But not our Plunge Bikini. It’s beautiful, yes, but it’s also super-supportive so it won’t budge before you’ve reached second base.

We love:the adjustable straps for the perfect fit.

Top tip:Let out the straps for sunbathing and then tighten them up for that game of bat and ball.

Best bikini for body boarding

Nothing beats the thrill of catching a wave. We love body boarding, but we love wearing a bikini too. The Sports Swimbra Bikini is made for activity. The under-bust band is soft and flat against your ribs, while the tailored bust gives you firm support without flattening your chest. Best of all for swimwear, the higher neckline means you won’t scoop up the ocean as you ride the waves.

We love:The super soft, smooth fabric that never chafes – even under a wetsuit.

Top tip:Size up in the bikini top – it’s tricky to get on over your shoulders otherwise.
