To keep your Shade Swim swimwear in the same beautiful condition as the day it arrives, simply rinse in cold water immediately after use and squeeze out any excess water. Dry on a flat surface in the shade after rinsing and store safely.

To keep your Shade Swim swimwear looking bright and beautiful, simply machine wash in cold water on a gentle, delicate or hand wash cycle after use. We recommend washing in a lingerie bag to protect your garment from any pulls or tears during washing. Do not tumble dry or bleach. Simple squeeze off excess water or use a delicate spin cycle.

Our swimwear is made with the highest quality fabric available. The Xtra Life Lycra fibre resists fabric breakdown five times more than your average chlorine-resistant spandex. Our swimwear stands the test of time and will not be impacted by fiber breakage or loss of tightness and firmness due to sunscreen, pool water or oxidation..

Shade Swim swimwear is designed to suit all shapes and sizes. Our sizing follows standard Australian size guidelines. If you measure yourself and find you are between sizes according to the size chart, we recommend choosing the next size up for comfort and fit. For example if you usually wear an AUS Size 10 in the top but are a AUS Size 12 in the bottom (or vice versa), we suggest choosing a Size 12.

Please note our printed range runs a little smaller in sizing and we recommend sizing up.

If you have any questions about sizing please refer to our size chart or contact us.
