Women's one-piece swimsuit - Carla longi purple

BODY SHAPE

Ideal for surfing and bodyboarding, but also stand-up paddle boarding and other water sports, the CARLA one-piece women’s swimsuit provides total coverage to limit chafing against the board and wax. The surfer’s arms and shoulders are very open for better paddling and its cuts have been considered by our stylists to accentuate your figure. The back zip makes the swimsuit easier to get on and off.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR SIZE

To ensure a perfect fit in the water, it is important to choose the right size while you are dry because once they are in the water, swimsuits become looser. We therefore recommend you buy the correct size. The swimsuit needs to fit snugly against your body in the fitting room, and you should feel supported. The elastane content in certain components used in the design of our swimsuits softens and relaxes in the water.

YOU ARE AN ADVANCED SURFER

You surf intensively, and it is your favourite sport. During your sessions, you paddle out to the line-up, duck-dive under the breaking waves if you are on a shortboard, or turtle-roll if you are on a longboard. You show dedication in powerful waves of more than one metre. Your swimsuit must stay in place for each of your movements, whatever the strength of the wave. We have designed a range for you that is suited to your intensive surfing and body shape.

STAYS IN PLACE IN THE WAVES: THE TEST

We design swimsuits that promise to stay in place in the waves. To test them, we use a panel of female surfers with different body shapes who follow a test protocol in a pool at our design offices in Hendaye, southwest France. This protocol aims to reproduce the sensations experienced by surfers when being thrown around by a wave. If this test is conclusive, we go surfing in the sea to test our swimwear in real conditions.

ACTIVE AT THE BEACH!

Whether you are a surfer or enjoy bathing in the sea, you don’t want to lose your swimsuit! This is why we test all our swimsuits in the waves. Each model is designed for surfing and perfectly suits other water sports: stand-up paddle boarding, sailing, kite surfing, bathing, etc.

FEEL GOOD IN OUR SWIMWEAR

Our work centres on helping women to feel good in our swimsuits. The bust is not flattened, the bottoms don't dig in, and the level of coverage varies. Our mission is to ensure that every woman can find a swimming costume that suits her body, whatever her shape or size.

REMOVAL OF PLASTIC HYGIENE STICKERS FROM OUR SWIMWEAR

All women's swimsuits designed by Decathlon are sold without plastic hygiene stickers. This decision is based on a desire to reduce our use of plastic. Saving 940 km of plastic every year!

Please do your bit by always keeping your underwear on in our changing rooms.
