YOU ARE A BEGINNER SURFER
You're new to surfing or only surf a few times a year, on vacation or on a surf trip. You stay where you are, in small waves or foam. You practice for the pleasure of being in the water and for the sensations it gives you. During your sessions, you often fall, but you fall in waves that are not very powerful. We've designed a wide range of swimsuits to suit your occasional practice and your morphology.
ACTIVE AT THE BEACH!
Whether you're a surfer or enjoying a swim in the sea, you don't want to lose your swimsuit! That's why we test all our swimwear in the waves. Each model is designed for surfing, but is also suitable for other water sports: stand-up paddling, windsurfing, kite surfing, swimming and more.
Morphology
With its simple yet feminine cut, straight neckline and back, the beauty of the Dora swimsuit lies in the elegant drape covering the tummy, contributing to its flat tummy effect. The 360° sheathing lining reshapes and enhances the silhouette. Its design gives it excellent wearability and bust support, so it can be adapted to a wide range of body shapes.
WAVE HOLDING TEST
We design swimsuits whose promise is to hold up in the wave. To evaluate them, we call on a panel of surfers with different morphologies to follow a pool test protocol in our design offices in Hendaye. The aim of this protocol is to reproduce the sensations experienced by the surfer when she is tossed about by a wave. If the test is conclusive, we head out to sea to test our swimwear in real-life conditions.
WHAT IS A HULL?
A shell integrated into the swimsuit top enhances the shape of the breast. Unlike cut and sewn foam, the shell creates a well-rounded breast, without seam demarcation or irritation. To ensure optimum comfort, Olaian favors the use of shells in the majority of its swimwear models.
COMFORTABLE IN OUR SWIMSUITS
We strive to help women feel comfortable in our swimwear. Breasts aren't crushed, buttocks aren't marked, and coverage levels vary. Our mission is to ensure that every woman finds a swimsuit that suits her, whatever her body type or size.
Sheathing effect or flat tummy effect
Thanks to its sheathing lining, this swimsuit elegantly erases the imperfections of your silhouette. It comfortably adjusts certain areas of your body for a completely reshaped waist.
Dry cutting and wet cutting
To ensure a perfect fit in the water, we have to adjust our models in the dry, because once in the water, swimwear relaxes. We therefore advise you to choose the right size. The swimsuit must fit snugly on your body in the cabin, so you feel supported. The elastane contained in some of the components used in our swimsuits softens and relaxes in the water.
REMOVAL OF PLASTIC STICKERS FROM OUR SWIMWEAR
From 2022, all women's swimwear designed at Decathlon will be sold without plastic stickers. This sensible decision is strongly based on protecting our planet and limiting the use of plastic. 940 km of plastic will be saved every year!
Let's make this responsibility a shared commitment by keeping
your underwear when you go into the cabin.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO EXCHANGE YOUR SWIMSUIT?
The size or model doesn't suit you? Would you like to make an exchange at your local Decathlon store? No problem, just make sure you don't cut the label off the swimsuit in case you want to exchange it.
