British sports swimwear brand Natatio (‘na-tay-shio’) is proud to announce the launch of its debut UK collection which fuses high performance design with contemporary style. The brand was founded by an Australian swimmer who wanted to create a swimwear range that met the demands of lap and open water swimming but also was beautiful and comfortable to wear. The mission of the brand is to empower and inspire women to get active and live happy and healthy lives.
Natatio swimwear is first and foremost designed to perform for both pool-based and open water swimming, providing high freedom of movement, comfort, support and durability swim after swim. Clasps and zips that get in the way of the real purpose are not included; every design element in the swimwear is focused on enabling as many swimming strokes, tumble turns and dives as a swimmer can manage.
The majority of the fabric used in Natatio’s first collection is made from regenerated nylon waste, including spent and ghost fishing nets. An average of 640,000 tonnes of fishing nets are dumped in oceans every year, representing one of the greatest threats to marine life. As a company, Natatio is striving to use 100% regenerated yarns as it grows, and outlines the proportion of regenerated yarn in each swimsuit on its website.
The collection sees a mix of one piece swimsuits and 2 piece bikinis which all offer high performance designs mixed with stylish, fashion-forward colours and prints. The swimwear is manufactured using premium quality, Italian fabrics which provide:
● Ultra resistance to chlorine, sun creams and oils
● Excellent UV protection
● Muscle control
● Shape retention
● Two-way stretch
● Soft feel
Latin for swimming pool Natatio is used to describe the grandiose European baths of a bygone era which is a fitting name for a swimwear brand focused on premium quality and style.
