For many Muslim women in New Zealand, finding modest swimwear that offers both comfort and style has always been a challenge. 

According to a study published on ResearchGate, modest swimwear plays a crucial role in empowering women to participate in water-based activities without compromising their religious values or sense of identity. 

Whether it's family time at the beach, poolside holidays, or simply enjoying a swim with confidence, full-coverage options that also support freedom of movement are essential. That’s where Wommo comes in: a brand designed for modest adventurers. 

Our swimwear blends thoughtful design, functional fabric, and timeless modesty to help women enjoy aquatic activities without having to choose between faith and freedom.

Why Burkinis Matter

A burkini isn’t just about covering up; it’s about creating opportunities for more women to feel empowered and included in water-based activities. 

Whether it’s swimming, surfing, or simply enjoying the beach with family, modest swimwear should never mean sacrificing comfort, performance, or style. 

Unfortunately, many options on the market focus solely on coverage, overlooking key factors like fit, breathability, and fabric quality. At Wommo, modesty and movement should go hand-in-hand. 

That’s why our burkini swimwear for New Zealand women is designed with equal attention to both function and fashion. Our garments are lightweight, quick-drying, breathable, and tailored to support a full range of motion, helping women feel confident and free, both in and out of the water.

Designed for the Outdoorsy, Modest Woman

Whether you're swimming at the beach or kayaking on Lake Taupō, modest Muslim women deserve swimwear that performs under pressure. Our best-selling Swim Tunic is an excellent example of this philosophy in action. 

It offers generous coverage without being bulky or restrictive, made from a high-performance chlorine-resistant fabric that allows for natural movement in and out of the water.

Pair it with our matching Swim Leggings and Swimnsplash Instant Swim Hijab, and you’ve got a complete burkini set that feels just as good as it looks. The swim hijab is particularly ideal for women seeking an easy-to-wear, secure solution that stays in place during active swimming.

What Makes Wommo’s Burkini Swimwear Different?

Most burkini options in New Zealand still lean heavily toward oversized, heavy garments that aren’t built for water activity. Our pieces are explicitly developed for modest women who are also outdoorsy, active, and style-conscious. That means:

• Full-coverage swimwear that dries quickly and resists chlorine, UV damage, and saltwater
• Fabric engineered for stretch and comfort, so it won’t cling or weigh you down
• Innovative layering options, including beach coverups like our Kimono Beach Coverup
• Neutral and earth-toned colours that blend style and modesty effortlessly

We also focus on sustainability and slow fashion. Our garments are made to last, so you’re not replacing them every season. Many customers report wearing their Wommo swimwear for years, through family holidays, beach outings, and even hydrotherapy sessions.

Community-Driven Swimwear

Our community is composed of women like Aisha, the busy, health-conscious mum who balances family life with a love for the outdoors. She spends weekends hiking, swimming with her children, and seeking out ways to connect with nature while staying true to her values. 

Aisha shops online for modest clothing that supports her active lifestyle without compromising on quality, comfort, or faith. 

Like her, many of our customers return season after season to refresh their swimwear and modest activewear, trusting Wommo for dependable design and performance. 

What keeps them loyal is our commitment to their needs. For them, it’s not just about modesty. It’s about having the freedom to move, to explore, and to thrive truly.
