Athletic Swimwear for Women Who Do It All

Posted on Sunday, November 9, 2025

Athletic gear doesn’t have to mean plain, unflattering, or something you’d never wear outside the gym. For women juggling work, workouts, beach days and everything in between, it’s about swimwear that works as hard as you do, without ever sacrificing style.

Redefining athletic swimwear

At Sheila, we were tired of clothes that held us back. Swimwear that looked ready for Olympic laps but not lattes. Swimwear that looked good on a lounger but sagged the second you started to move.

So we set out to blend the best of both worlds: pieces that support, flatter, and actually keep up. Swimwear that gives you freedom to live your busy life, not more things to worry about.

That’s what athletic swimwear is all about: clothes that move with you, wherever life takes you.

Sheila’s four pillars of athletic swimwear

When we set out to design athletic swimwear, it had to tick more than one box. It had to work hard, feel amazing and actually last. These are the four things we never compromise on:

1. Versatility
Life doesn’t pause between the gym, the pool and your errands. Your swimwear shouldn’t either. Every piece adapts with you so you can sweat, swim and socialise without a single outfit change.

2. Fits that feel good
No more straps that dig in. No more bottoms that roll down. No more styles that only look good if you don’t move. Our fits are supportive, flattering, and designed to celebrate every bod.

3. Quality that lasts
This isn’t throwaway swimwear. We use luxury recycled nylon that feels amazing on your skin and holds its shape through laps, lunges and countless washes. These are pieces made to earn their place in your wardrobe season after season.

4. Protection that matters
We don’t mess around when it comes to our Aussie sun. Every Sheila swimsuit has UPF 50+ fabric woven in so your skin stays protected while you stay stylish.

For women who do it all

Athletic swimwear won’t organise your calendar or pick up your kids from daycare, but it will give you freedom to move. To make choices in your day. To do your thing without limits, without fuss, without compromise.

That’s the whole reason we started Sheila — and why we’ll always design pieces that keep up with every part of your life.
