We've put together a few simple care tips here so your swimwear will last many seasons to come.

We have a showroom in Byron Bay called Sunup Space which is available to visit by appointment. The showroom is set up with change rooms and accepts card payments. To make an appointment, you can email hello@hakeaswim.com

Please email us at hello@hakeaswim.com with your order number and we’ll do our best to arrange a suitable collection time.

If you need to change your order, please email as soon as possible with your order number and change requirements. If your order hasn’t already been dispatched, we are able to amend if the item(s) you wish to change for are available. If your order already been dispatched, you will need to go through the exchange process.

We recommend opting for one size up from the size you generally take in a one piece swimsuit if you have a long torso, to best fit the body length while still fitting at the bust and hip. Our care team are happy to provide more detailed fit assistance on specific styles. Please email hello@hakeaswim.com

In this instance we generally recommend opting for the bigger size in a one piece. For example, if your measurements most closely match size 2 on top and size 3 on bottom against our size chart, we would recommend a size 3 in a one piece. Our team are happy to provide more detailed fit assistance. Please email hello@hakeaswim.com

Our swimwear is designed to provide support to a range of body types and bust sizes. We understand the importance of finding the right fit, so our designs incorporate features like adjustable straps, under-bust support, side boning and removable cups. 

While our garments typically run true to size, we do recommend checking our size guide. If you’re still unsure or have specific questions regarding cup size, we are available by appointment in our showroom and always happy to assist you via email at hello@hakeaswim.com. 

Many of our bikini tops and one-pieces feature removable cups for optional added support, though we recommend referring to the individual product listing as some styles may not. Our customer support team at hello@hakeaswim.com are always happy to assist you with any size/fit related questions.

While our tops typically do not have an underwire, under-bust support is achieved through thoughtful design and quality construction so you feel secure and supported while in the water. Some styles offer more support than others so please reach out to our customer service team at hello@hakeaswim.com for personalised guidance. 

Our swim tops have been developed for a wide range of body types. We have styles suitable for A - D+ cups. This is achieved through offering a wide size range along with styles which vary in their level of coverage and support. All of our samples are tested on a range of body types to ensure they fit a mix of real bodies. Contact hello@hakeaswim.com for assistance finding the perfect style and fit for your body shape.

Our premium ECONYL swimsuits are designed to withstand the elements and be long lasting when handled with care. We recommend hand washing after each use or a gentle machine wash in cold water only with eco-friendly detergent every so often if you have a newer machine.

1. Always hand rinse your pieces in cold water after use to avoid salt drying into the fabric as this can take a toll on the fibres.

2. To remove sunscreen or marks, hand wash in cold water with a mild earth friendly laundry liquid and focus on gently rubbing it into the areas needed. Do not wash in hot water, tumble dry, dry clean or iron your swimsuit. Heat will cause damage to the fibres.  

3. Avoid twisting and pulling your swimwear when wet.

4. To dry, lay flat in shade or hang over a clothesline. Avoid using pegs. 

5. Avoid contact with rough surfaces, oils, lotions, spas, chlorine and other harsh chemicals to get the longest wear out of your swimsuit.

Both functional and flattering our designs are purpose built to wear beyond the beach. Layer with pants, shorts or skirts. Seamlessly working with your current wardrobe.

Mixing swimwear with every day pieces extends the wearability and lowers the cost per wear. A low cost per wear can be a good way to work out if you’ve made a good investment and help with curating a sustainable wardrobe.

All of our pieces are designed with versatility in mind. Our swim tops are a great addition to any outfit when worn as a bralette, without compromising on comfort and support.
