About One Piece Swimwear AU

We're a team of Australian swimmers, ocean lovers, and fashion enthusiasts dedicated to helping women find swimwear that truly fits their lives.

Our Story

One Piece Swimwear AU was born from a shared frustration that many Australian women know all too well: the seemingly endless search for a swimsuit that actually works. Whether you're training laps at the local pool, catching waves at Bondi, or lounging by a resort infinity pool, finding a one-piece that offers the right combination of support, coverage, sun protection, and style can feel like an impossible task.

Our founding team includes former competitive swimmers who understand the importance of chlorine-resistant fabrics and secure fits that stay put during tumble turns. We have ocean swimmers who know that a suit needs to handle salt water, sand, and unpredictable conditions while still looking good enough for the beach cafe afterwards. And we have everyday beachgoers who simply want to feel confident and comfortable under the Australian sun without worrying about whether their swimwear will hold up.

What sets us apart is our hands-on approach to testing and evaluation. We don't just read manufacturer specs and rewrite marketing copy. Our team actually wears these swimsuits in real Australian conditions. We test UPF ratings under our harsh UV environment, evaluate how fabrics perform after dozens of washes, and assess whether the "quick-dry" claims hold up during a full day of beach hopping along the coast.

Our Mission

We believe that every woman deserves access to honest, expert advice when shopping for swimwear. The one-piece swimsuit market has exploded in recent years, with countless brands offering everything from minimalist sport designs to elegant resort wear. This abundance of choice is wonderful, but it can also be overwhelming.

Our mission is to cut through the noise. We research fabrics like recycled nylon, Italian stretch, and powermesh to understand their real-world performance. We compare support systems including shelf bras, underbust bands, and adjustable strap configurations. We evaluate coverage options from cheeky cuts to modest full-coverage designs. And we do all of this with Australian women specifically in mind, considering our unique needs around sun protection, sizing availability, and shipping logistics.

When we recommend a product, it's because we genuinely believe it offers good value for Australian shoppers. We maintain complete editorial independence from the brands we feature, and our recommendations are based solely on our testing and research.

Our Team

Our contributors bring diverse perspectives to swimwear evaluation. From competitive lap swimmers who prioritise hydrodynamic cuts and secure fits, to ocean swimming enthusiasts who need durability against salt and sand, to fashion-forward beachgoers looking for the latest in resort-ready styles, our team covers the full spectrum of swimwear needs.

Our Commitment to You

Transparency is fundamental to everything we do. When we link to products on Amazon Australia, we earn a small commission if you make a purchase. This affiliate relationship helps us fund our testing and keep our content free for readers. However, it never influences our recommendations. We feature products because they're genuinely worth considering, not because they offer higher commission rates.

We're always working to expand our coverage, test new products, and provide more helpful guides. If you have questions, suggestions, or feedback, we'd love to hear from you. Together, we can make swimwear shopping a little less stressful for Australian women everywhere.
