Two-piece swimsuit TAMI 100 - BLACK

YOU ARE AN INTERMEDIATE SURFER

You regularly go surfing. 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, then surf waves of less than one metre. You often fall and are used to being shaken about underwater. Your swimsuit must meet the requirements of your activity and stay in place for each of your movements. We have designed a range for you that is suited to regular activity and your body shape.

BODY SHAPE

The Tami halterneck swimsuit has a carefully designed anatomic shape that stays in place in the waves. Its adjustable neck tie lets the surfer adapt the swimsuit to fit her bust. The halterneck shape provides enough coverage to ensure a good hold in the waves.

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 at least 12 female surfers with different body shapes who follow a test protocol in a pool at our design offices in Hendaye. The protocol is designed 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.

WHAT ARE PADDED CUPS?

A padded cup is a piece of foam that is inserted into the swimsuit.

So that our customers can decide whether or not they want to keep the padded cups, they are fully removable from the swimsuits.

The wearer is free to add the padded cups or not.

The main idea behind this padding is to protect the modesty of young teenage girls.

The padded cups hide the nipples, which can be seen when the swimsuit is wet.

This is not a pad designed to enhance the body.

GIRLS' SWIMSUIT SIZES

At Decathlon, we design swimsuits for young surfers by taking into account their growth. It is for this reason that we systematically associate the kid's height with the size, as age is not sufficient to guarantee the correct size. Two 10-year-old girls can be of totally different heights, weights and shapes, and have different measurements. We also recommend trying the swimsuits on in store if possible

OUR GIRLS' SWIMSUIT SIZES

Here is the link between age and height on our swimsuit labels:

7/8 years: from 125 to 132 cm

8/9 years: from 133 to 142 cm

10/11 years: from 143 to 150 cm

12/13 years: from 151 to 160 cm

14/15 years: from 161 to 169 cm

DRY SIZING AND WET SIZING

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.

DO YOU WANT TO EXCHANGE YOUR SWIMSUIT?

Is the size or style not suitable for you? Would you like to exchange it at your Decathlon store? No problem, just be sure not to cut off the label of the swimsuit in case you want to exchange it.

OLAIAN, DECATHLON'S SURF BRAND

Based in Hendaye, in southwest France, OLAIAN is Decathlon's new surfing and bodyboarding brand. In our offices at the water's edge, we can design a swimsuit and then on the same day test it directly in the sea to check it stays in place in the waves.

WHAT IS THE OLAIAN BRAND?

TRIBORD surfing products have now become OLAIAN products, the new Decathlon brand dedicated to surfing, bodyboarding and skimboarding. Gradually, the branding of all our surfing products will be replaced. This is why your product may have a different logo to the one in the picture illustrating the product.
