Private places for women to swim in Australia

So you've got your modest swimwear, now you need to find a place to swim!

We understand that not all of you feel comfortable swimming in public, so we've done the research for you and compiled a list of places where women can swim in private!

Please contact the swimming centre first to confirm their details by clicking the links below. Do not contact us as we are just a modest swimwear store.

Most places will have an entry fee.

As we are based in Victoria, it's taken us longer to find places in other states. We'll add more places as we find them, but the easiest and quicker way to find out is to just call the swimming centre in your area.

    I jumped onto your website to check your swimwear collection but have been highly impressed by your detailed research and care taken to not only explain the difference between a leisure and an active swimwear and their respective uses especially for beginners like me but was also surprised to see the detailed research done in finding womens swimming pools all across Australia and also taking the care to post about the secluded beaches in Victoria. So thoughtful…
    It feels beyond great to see this support for Muslim Women, which feels like a beacon of light to my swimming dream.
    Keep it up EMAAN.
