Maru Swimwear launched its new Autumn/Winter 2008 Collection on 1 July in over 400 UK sports shops, as well as a range of online retailers and health clubs.
Highlights include the new Pacer collection of Maru suits for women in the Aqua Sport range, created in vibrantly coloured, graphic patterns and also in solid black or pink with contrast piping. The suits are designed to combine performance and style and are made using Pacer, a chlorine resistant, long-life fabric, which also provides UV protection of UPF 50+.
The men’s Aqua Sport range has been enhanced with a selection of cool jammers with new, improved fit, these including the Pacer Blizz Jammer, the Dive Jammer and the Loony Jammer.
Maru says that a winner in the Aqua Classic Range this season is again going to be the Aquarius Legged suit (pictured).
Introduced last year and aimed at swimming teachers and aqua aerobic enthusiasts, it is reported to have been a phenomenal success. This season the company has produced the suit in contrasting denim and raspberry colours, as a move away from the more classic black and blue tones previously chosen.
New to the range is the Oceanic Suit in black or turquoise with medium leg, bust support and a high back, but offering a younger look with adjustable thin straps and body-contouring seams.
Ideal for pool or beach swimming, Maru’s Aqua Leisure collection includes both one-piece, halter-neck suits and two-piece tankinis in black or a bright raspberry pink; while the more sporty Lucy Tankini comes in two colour tones of raspberry and purple or navy and lime with a sporty-back design, bust support and short-style pants.
The longer look continues as the predominant trend for men’s swim shorts in the Aqua Leisure range, with the choice including a variety of quick-drying swim shorts in 17, 19 and 21in lengths. Brand new for the season is the Maritime Short in black featuring drainer side pockets, a zipped back pocket and stylish red inset panel below the waist band at the back. New as well is the 19in and 21in Suncoast Short in blue or black with graphic prints, piping details and zipped side pocket with drainer.
The company's swim equipment selection has seen the introduction of new items ranging from top-quality swim bags for active swimmers to a new range of cartoon swim bags and swim hats for kids.
Also new is a new technical goggle for professional swimmers called the Techo Racer, an ultra low profile goggle for racing which reduces drag.
