Womens Zoggs Swimwear – Ecolast+ & Modesty Suits

Zoggs approaches womens swimwear differently to most brands: it rates every suit for bust support, builds much of the range from recycled plastic bottles, and backs its main fabric with a lifetime guarantee. If you've ever bought a swimsuit that looked right and gave no support at all, this is the range that solves it.

The Zoggs support level system

Zoggs rates its womens swimwear across four levels of bust support, so you can choose by how much support you actually want rather than guessing from a photograph. Level 2 is low support — a shelf bra, fine for lap swimming and general pool use. Level 3 is medium support, often with full foam cups suited to B–E cups, and is the choice for higher-impact swimming or if you simply want more structure. It's a genuinely useful system and almost no other brand publishes anything equivalent.

Ecolast™ and Ecolast+™ fabric

Most of the range is built from Zoggs' Ecolast family of fabrics, made from recycled post-consumer plastic bottles. Zoggs rates it 100% chlorine proof and backs it with a Lifetime Guarantee against chlorine degradation. Ecolast+ adds compression — Zoggs claims four times greater fabric compression than generic swimwear fabrics — along with quick drying, UPF 50+ sun protection, exceptional shape retention, and it's machine washable, which is unusual for performance swimwear. Composition varies by garment, but the principle is constant: recycled polyester with no reliance on elastane for chlorine resistance. There's a full comparison in our swimwear fabrics guide.

What's in the range

One pieces are the bulk of it — scoopback, classicback, powerback, crossback, sprintback and multiway designs. Adjustable-strap styles are worth noting: several offer around 5cm of strap adjustment, which solves the perennial problem of a suit that fits the body but not the torso length.

Modesty suits are a real strength here — three-piece designs with a separate top, pants and headpiece, tie-cord and button fastenings, and full torso and arm coverage with UPF 50+. These use Elastomax™, an ultra-soft chlorine-resistant fabric Zoggs rates for up to 120 pool hours.

Open water and thermal styles use Zoggs' thermal lining technology, which the brand claims retains body heat around 60% longer than standard swimwear — relevant for anyone swimming outdoors through a Brisbane winter or training in unheated pools.

Two pieces round out the range, with supportive straps and drawcord pants designed to stay put through dives and tumble turns.

Getting the size right

Zoggs womens swimwear generally runs across a broad size range, and the brand recommends sizing up if you're between sizes or prefer a looser fit — particularly on the modesty suits. Check the support level as well as the size: a Level 2 and a Level 3 in the same size will feel quite different. Our size charts cover Zoggs alongside every brand we stock.

Common questions

What are Zoggs swimwear support levels?
Zoggs rates its womens swimwear across four levels of bust support. Level 2 is low support, typically a shelf bra suited to lap swimming. Level 3 is medium support, often with full foam cups suitable for B–E cups. The rating lets you choose a suit by the support it actually provides rather than by appearance.

What is Zoggs Ecolast fabric made from?
Ecolast is Zoggs' chlorine-resistant swimwear fabric made from recycled post-consumer plastic bottles. Exact composition varies by garment, but it is polyester-based, rated 100% chlorine proof, UPF 50+, quick drying, machine washable and covered by Zoggs' Lifetime Guarantee. Ecolast+ additionally offers around four times the compression of generic swimwear fabrics.

Does Zoggs make modest swimwear?
Yes. Zoggs modesty suits are three-piece designs with a separate top, pants and headpiece, offering full torso and arm coverage with UPF 50+ sun protection. They're made from Elastomax™, a soft chlorine-resistant fabric rated for up to 120 pool hours, and are suitable for hijab wearers and anyone wanting fuller coverage.

Is Zoggs swimwear machine washable?
Zoggs rates its Ecolast fabrics as machine washable, which is unusual for performance swimwear. Even so, rinsing in cold fresh water after each swim and drying flat away from direct sun will extend the life of any swimsuit.

Does Zoggs swimwear come with a guarantee?
Zoggs backs its Aqualast and Ecolast fabrics with a Lifetime Guarantee against chlorine degradation — the fabric will not break down in chlorine.
