Heating up with Light The Fire

We've just launched our latest collection, Light The Fire, and the timing couldn't be better! The next couple of months will be massive for our F-Teamers as they prepare for the World Championships in Fukuoka, Japan in July. The lead up to World Champs has been grueling with training camps, travel overseas for international racing experience and Trials to secure a spot on the team headed to Japan. In the midst of all of this craziness our F-Teamers took time out of their hectic schedules to help us showcase our exciting new collection Light the Fire.

Summer’s the talk of the swimming world in the lead up to World Champs. How does she handle the fame? She pulls on a pair of Brush It Off Tie Me Tight Funkitas of course!

Dual World Record Holder Summer McIntosh locked in her spot on the Canadian team in March where she made history by breaking the world record in the 400m freestyle and 400m individual medley at the Canadian Trials held in Toronto. The first time any swimmer has held both World Records for the 400m events! In between training in Sarasota, Florida and racing in meets from Canada to Atlanta, Summer managed to let off some steam at a recent Funkita shoot.

The bright geometrics of Cubie Jubie shine on Summer.
One of Summer's favourite prints is Spin the Bottle.

South African Commonwealth Games medalist Lara van Niekerk has been traveling all around the world to get ready for World Champs. During her trip to Melbourne for the World Short Course Champs in 2022, Lara took time away from the race pool to model the gorgeous new prints from Light The Fire.

Of course you can’t have Sunny without Cher! For Funkita fans who love big blooms and a lot of pink, Cher is available in our Strapped In One Piece and the popular Swim Crop Top and Hipster Briefs.

If you're craving more florals, Full Bloom is the perfect choice for you. Aussie Dolphin Mikayla Smith is all smiles in this gorgeous Tie Me Tight One Piece.

Our much loved Strapped In One Piece is available in four additional new prints including Foxy Friends, Rain Down, Minty Mixer and Beat it Black.

The crazy fun doesn't stop there! You have ten new prints to choose from, including Spin the Bottle and Texta Mess, if our Single Strap One Piece is your favourite style.

Wild and bright with Spin the Bottle?
Or monochromatic with Texta Mess?

The winter blues... if you can't beat 'em, join 'em! Find bursts of blue with Beam Bars, Blue Bunkers and Blues Festival.

With World Champs coming up everyone will be flying their country’s flag. To celebrate, we’re launching patriotic new prints with the Light The Fire collection. Choose from Star Power, Star Light or Star Studded. Or mix it all up with Patriot Beat!
