An Ode To Mother And Child

Our Story

Ina Swim was founded in 2018 by a team of mothers who shared a vision for sustainable, minimalistic, and timeless swimwear for babies and children. The brand truly came to life under the leadership of Sallina Carlyle, a mother of four with a passion for gentle parenting and creating nurturing environments for children to grow and flourish in.

Sallina’s beliefs and values became the foundation of Ina Swim’s core values, which prioritize the well-being of children and the environment. Guided by a commitment to nurturing and protecting the next generation, Ina Swim has become a leading Australian label that advocates for slow fashion, fair treatment of people, and the reduction of both consumption and production.

Ina Swim believes that swimwear should be more than just a functional piece of clothing; it should be a keepsake that evokes connection and intention. The brand celebrates the bond between mother and child and seeks to create a beautiful and pleasant environment where children can grow, play, and experiment with swimwear that is practical, sustainable, safe and doesn’t harm the earth or its resources.

Each piece in the Ina Swim collection is thoughtfully designed in the brand’s studio in Australia, taking inspiration from its surroundings and the natural beauty of the ocean. Ina Swim prioritizes quality over quantity, creating considered and concise collections full of heirlooms destined to remain cherished pieces to be passed down through generations.

The brand’s love for Mother Earth drives it to create swimwear that is sustainable, ethical, and beautiful, and Ina Swim is committed to continuing to innovate and bring new, sustainable products to the market.

Thank you for supporting Ina Swim on this journey.

By doing this, we can minimize wastage and fabric scraps, ensuring that our products are as sustainable as possible. In addition to this, we only use 100% recycled swimwear materials in our products, which helps to reduce our carbon footprint and promote the use of sustainable materials. We also strive to minimize ocean waste by using recycled plastic from the ocean to create our swimwear and recycled plastics to ensure a circular economy.
