Swimming and pregnancy are an excellent combination. Not only does swimming keep you fit without straining your muscles (which are likely to be more relaxed than usual thanks to an influx of pregnancy hormones) but the water will support your body, making you feel wonderfully weightless and taking the strain off your lower back.
Our maternity bikinis and swimsuits are expertly designed to accommodate growing bumps and curves, giving extra support where needed. If it’s just a refreshing dip you’re after, or you’re looking for a touch of poolside glamour, we have the swimwear to make your aquatic adventures as stylish and comfortable as possible.

Maternity Bikinis
There’s nothing quite like the freedom and versatility of a bikini for easy holiday style. Made from supportive fabric that gently hugs the body, our bikinis come in different cuts so you can select your perfect level of coverage. Choose between low-cut briefs that sit under your bump, or vintage-style high-waisted briefs that pull up over your bump for extra support. Ranging from classic to contemporary, our bikinis mix and match perfectly with sarongs, shorts and cover-ups. And, of course, we love how a timeless two piece makes loo breaks a breeze!

Maternity Swimsuits
A classic one-piece swimming costume never goes out of style, and there are lots of benefits to choosing a maternity version. Cut from gentle stretch fabrics that support and hug your growing bump, our maternity swimsuits are thoughtfully designed for maximum comfort – think wide straps that won’t dig in and supportive cups with removable pads. Lots of people like the extra sense of security and support that fabric over their bump provides, and our swimming costumes are designed to stretch and shrink with your changing body – making them perfect for postpartum swimming too (baby swim classes, here we come!)
When is it safe to swim during pregnancy?
Swimming is a fantastic low-impact activity that’s considered a safe form of exercise during all three trimesters of pregnancy. Of course, there are always exceptions to general rules, and you should discuss your swimming plans with your doctor or midwife if you have any pre-existing medical conditions or worries. Just as you need to check that your bath isn’t too hot or cold through pregnancy, make sure you are mindful of pool temperature, too – the water should be between 27 to 33 degrees Celsius.
Picking the right swimwear
Swimwear shopping can feel daunting at the best of times. Add a burgeoning bump into the equation, and it can feel even trickier! However, the rules for finding the perfect pregnancy swimwear are easy to remember – it needs to flatter your growing bump, support your boobs, and ideally be made from breathable, flexible fabric. Thankfully, our swimwear selection ticks all the boxes, so you can be certain to find a style you love.
Whether you’re headed off to an exotic escape for your babymoon or simply swimming laps at the local pool, our maternity swimwear collection is designed for comfort and support at every stage of pregnancy.
