Neon by Nestling 2026 Swimwear Has Arrived: Bigger, Brighter & Better Than Ever

Swimwear That Stands Out

Neon by Nestling has become the go-to swimwear choice for countless families across New Zealand and Australia. Together, we've helped spark a movement around choosing highly visible swimwear that stands out both in and out of the water.

Today, you'll spot those unmistakable SwimSafe Neon colours at pools, beaches and summer splash points everywhere.

And now, we're excited to announce that our 2026 Swim Season Collection is officially here.

This summer, we're painting the country Neon.

Designed With Families, Improved By Feedback

One thing we love about our Nestling community is that you're never shy about telling us what you'd like to see next.

For 2026, we've refined, upgraded and expanded the range in all the ways families have asked for.

New Features You'll Love

We've introduced practical improvements designed to make changing, dressing and swimming easier than ever:

Snaps on our Baby Shortie Swimmer for quicker nappy changes.
A full-length zip Rashie for easy on-and-off dressing.
More options in our customer-favourite Girls Swimsuits.
Brand new Short Sleeve Rashies.
An all-new Bikini Bottom style.
Fresh new colours, prints and bold patterns across the collection.

Whether you're heading to swimming lessons, planning a beach holiday or spending weekends by the water, there's a Neon by Nestling style designed for every adventure.

Introducing AquaLuxe Swimwear

You may notice a familiar favourite with a brand-new name.

Our much-loved "Brushed" swimwear collection has been renamed AquaLuxe.

Don't worry, we've kept everything customers already love about the fabric. The new name simply better reflects its premium feel and added functionality.

Why Parents Love AquaLuxe

The AquaLuxe range is made from high-quality swim fabric more commonly found in activewear, offering comfort and performance in one.

Features include:

A luxuriously soft brushed inner lining.
Quick-drying comfort against sensitive skin.
Breathable fabric for hot summer days.
Moisture-wicking properties to help keep little ones comfortable.
UPF 50+ sun protection.

It's the same incredible fabric you've always loved, now with a name that better captures what makes it so special.

Why Neon?
