Active Swimwear Australia: The New Essential for Modern Women

Why active swimwear matters

Let’s start with the Aussie sun. It doesn’t muck around. Our UV levels are among the highest in the world, and we spend more time outdoors than most. That means your swimwear has to do more than look cute by the pool. It needs to keep you protected while you’re out there living.

That’s why Sheila pieces are crafted with UPF 50+ fabric to protect where they can. Add a layer of SPF to the rest of your exposed skin, throw on our logo cap, and you’re set to soak up the fresh air and keep moving all day.

Features to look out for in active swimwear 

• Premium, performance fabric: Our luxury recycled nylon feels soft against skin but stands up to chlorine, salt, and whatever else you put it through. Double-lined construction means no see-through moments (yep, even when wet).
• Cuts that move with you: High-waisted designs that stay put on your morning jog. Princess seams that support without restricting. Straps that hold steady whether you’re diving or stretching. Pretty epic, right?
• Durability that lasts: Quality construction means your investment pays off season after season, not just until the first wash.
• UPF 50+ fabric for protection: Like we said, the Aussie sun is strong. That’s why every piece of Sheila swimwear includes UPF 50+ fabric, because skin protection matters just as much as style.

Why Sheila is perfect for 35+ women

Let’s be honest: your body at 35+ knows what it wants. You’re done with swimwear that pinches, rides up, or needs constant adjusting. You want pieces that make you feel confident and supported, not self-conscious and uncomfortable.

Sheila’s designs celebrate that wisdom. 

Take the Mina One Piece, it offers the coverage and support you want, with a silhouette that works whether you’re doing laps or lounging with friends.

Or the Ash Cropped Rash Vest, which delivers serious sun protection without sacrificing style, perfect for long coastal walks or outdoor fitness sessions.

The bottom line

Active swimwear isn’t about being the fittest person on the sand. It’s about having clothes that support the way you actually live, whether you’re a serious swimmer, a casual exerciser, or someone who just wants to feel confident and protected under the Australian sun.
