Here you will find information on the size markings of women's swimwear, manufacturers and things to consider when choosing swimwear.
At Aquaaction you can find Arena, Funkita, Jolyn and Speedo women's swimsuits! Also in our selection women's shapewear swimwear as well ecological swimwear.
When choosing a women's swimsuit, the decisive factor is what kind of use the swimsuit is needed for. For a competitive swimmer, a swimsuit is like a second skin, fitness swimmers often appreciate the ease of putting on and chlorine resistance of the suit, while bikinis and summer swimsuit designs are popular for the beach.
In addition to the right size and model, you should consider the material of the fabric when choosing a training swim suit for an active swimmer. Polyester is the best resistant to wear and guarantees a long life for the training suit. A good swimsuit fits snugly when dry, but doesn't chafe. In a well-fitting bathing suit, it's comfortable even for long workouts. Active and fitness swimmers, on the other hand, often prefer swimsuits that support the body.

Arena's founder is the son of Adidas founder Horst Dassler. The production of Arena originally started alongside Adidas in 1973.

Funkita swimsuits are made of high-quality C-Infinity polyester, which is designed to withstand the sun and chlorine while maintaining the color of the fabric and the shape of the swimsuit. That's why Funkita is a special condition for the pool!
In 2019, Funkita has also introduced ecological polyester to the market without compromising on quality. ECO C-Infinity is made from recycled plastic bottles to save the environment. Plastic bottles are broken into flakes, after which the flakes are melted. The melted material is made into yarn, which in turn is woven into fabric. The colors of the eco fabric are exceptionally bright and the fabric is designed to withstand chlorine.
The swimwear of the Pandamonium collection is Funkita's first collection made of ecological polyester. According to our customer feedback, ecological fabric became very popular at the beginning of summer. Funkita's bikinis, on the other hand, are a good choice for beach activities. The bikini top supports the chest, the bodice part has a lining and the bottom part has an adjustable waist.
Funkita's back parts
Diamond Back: classic straps support the upper body.
Single Strap: feminine thin straps, open at the back.
Strapped In: crossed straps bring out the back muscles.
Tie Me Tie: tie straps allow for strap adjustment.
How do I choose the right size Funkita?
Funkita divides swimsuits and bikinis using the same size chart. In our online store, the size is indicated with the AUS size classification and in the latest models with the European sizing.
Bathing suit maintenance
Regardless of the brand, we recommend rinsing the swimsuit immediately after use. Do not leave a wet swimsuit on the bottom of the bag for a long time, but hang it to dry. If necessary, the swimsuit can be washed by hand with a gentle detergent. Do not dry the swimsuit in a sauna, hair dryer or other similar methods.
