Each Funkita back style dictates the shape, strap type and leg cut of the swimsuit. It is important to figure out your personal preference before choosing a suit. For example, if you like thin straps, freedom of movement, support, or a high cut that shows more leg. Make a little mental note of your preferences and it will help you understand which back style to go for.

Diamond Back One Piece

Key Features – Modest cover | Moderate cut | Fabric panel back support | Classic durable shape

The Funkita Diamond Back One Piece is a versatile choice that will suit most body types. Ideal for training it has a moderate cut with plenty of cover on the legs and rear. The swimsuit has a full front lining and back panels for modesty and back support. On the girls' version, the shoulder straps have a single bind finish allowing for more freedom of movement. The ladies' costume has a double bind shoulder strap, which provides more bust support. It features a classic and solid construction and has been built to last, the ideal first Funkita swimsuit choice in our opinion.

Single Strap One Piece

Key Features – Thin shoulder strap | Moderate cut | Open back | Strap Placement allows for full freedom of movement.

Perfect for swimmers who prefer thin shoulder straps. Thin shoulder straps are less likely to cause rubbing, and on this swimsuit style the straps are pulled away from your moving parts for enhanced freedom of movement. The back is open for a better feel in the water and the leg cut is moderate with plenty of cover. You also get full front lining for comfort and modesty. This swimsuit is like the Diamond back but with thin straps and an open back and a great choice for regular training.

Strapped In One Piece

The Strapped in One Piece back style features a more fashionable shape, straps and cut. Still ideal for training it shows more leg and bum with a moderately-high cut. The back straps crisscross in contrasting colours for an eye-catching feature. The U-shape open back and crossing straps hug your body and it is an ideal shape for longer torsos. You get a full front lining for modesty and added comfort.

Tie Me Tight One Piece

This fashionable style has an attractive feature of converging straps at the back. They are normally contrasting colours and sit between your shoulder blades for excellent freedom of movement. This style has the least fabric with an open back and cutaway sides, for less drag and an enhanced feel in the water. Girls get a moderate cut on the leg and rear like the Diamondback. Ladies have a high fashion leg cut showing extra leg and rear. You are still covered throughout your session but it’s definitely a style for swimmers with body confidence.

Funkita is an Australian brand, and they label their swimwear sizes by age for girls and dress sizes for ladies. We find using age as a measure of size confusing for parents. If you line up 20x10-year-old girls, you know that there will be a wide range of sizes and shapes and labelling them all a 10 would be inaccurate. Our top tip is to use chest measurements to get the perfect fit for your little swimmer. Ladies can use their dress size and our size chart below to see how that measures up in inches.

For more detailed sizing use our - Funkita Girl's Size Chart

The Girl's size 14 and Ladies' size 8 both measure 32" on the chest. The ladies' swimsuit however is longer and made for a more mature body shape.

You should always treat your swimwear with care if you want to get a long life out of it. It is tough and durable but also requires you to follow these simple rules.

• Rinse your swimsuit with clean water after every time you use it to remove the chlorine.
• Don’t leave your swimsuit wrapped in your wet towel.
• Don’t leave it to dry in the sun, this will cause the fabric to deteriorate quicker.
• Avoid wearing it to the spa or in saunas, the combination of heat and chlorine will rapidly deteriorate your swimwear.
• Avoid wearing for holidays and avoid contact with oily products like suncream, perfume, deodorant, self-tan, and sweat.
• Rough services can snag the fabric and cause general wear and tear like pilling. Be careful when sitting down between races/training and avoid sliding over lane ropes or sitting on the floor.
• Do not iron or tumble dry your swimsuit.
