  • Flattering soft V-neckline with gentle sweetheart shape across the bust.
  • Low-cut under the arms for active use without chaffing.
  • Medium cut on the leg with flattering but full bottom coverage.
  • Our Monroe model Amanda is 5'10 / 178cm tall. She usually wears a UK size 14 and a 36D bra. Shown here wearing a Deakin and Blue size 14 Monroe.
  • Super soft, high quality, sustainable Italian bonded Lycra® with neckline and hips highlighted in soft & sculpting Italian powernet mesh.
  • Lycra® made from a recycled yarn called ECONYL® - made from regenerated waste such as old fishing nets and industrial plastic scraps.
  • Durable and designed to last. Our chosen Lycra® is twice as resistant to chlorine, salt water and oils than standard Lycra. Full UV protection.

    The Essential Fits like a glove

    After trying on three different styles I decided on the essential swimsuit for pool swimming . The customer service team were fantastic and allowed me the time to try on and compare the different sizes before returning. I love the snug and shaping fit of the swimsuit, it feels great to wear and to swim in . Thanks so much

    Fantastic!

    I have started swimming regularly in the sea and after a bit of research decided to invest in a swimsuit from Deakin and Blue. It’s brilliant, nice thick fabric, doesn’t ride up, pulls everything in and looks fantastic- everyone asks where I got it from! Well worth it.

    The swimwear revolution

    At Deakin and Blue we're reinventing swimwear: developing pieces that are transformational in how they feel, how they move and how they are made.

    FEEL BETTER

    Jude’s body story

    "While I always swam, I wasn't brilliantly sporty. At school, I tended to slide off and go and do some art during sports. Like, when we had to play lacrosse, which was grim, I used to just shimmy off to the art room. The PE teachers wrote me a nice report and that's when I realised that they didn't know who I was! But, I always loved swimming and I was in the swimming team.

    I loved the feeling of swimming, but I didn't like the chlorine and the smell of it all. I've always loved open water. I used to spend a lot of time looking for deeper pools in the river – even if they weren’t swimmable, it was just being able to dunk and hide in the reeds."

    A confidence essential

    Designed to give you confidence whether your surfing, swimming or simply sun-soaking. Here's how:

    1. Super supportive & sculpting bonded fabric

    2. Wide straps and a soft V-neckline flatters a range of body shapes

    3. Buttersoft powermesh elongates your legs

    4. Full bottom coverage for ultimate confidence

    Do better
