OUR STORY
It all began with a small rack of swimwear in a fabric shop...


The Swimwear Galore story began 35 years ago with a small rack of swimwear being sold from the family run fabric shop in Fitzroy, Victoria.
Jan Ingersole founded the business when she saw a gap in the market for good quality swimwear and soon after ‘The Stretch Shop’ as Swimwear Galore was called in those days became the go-to place in Melbourne for swimwear.
Quickly swimwear took over fabric and Swimwear Galore was born!


Swimwear Galore Today
In the 2000’s Jan’s 3 children, Andrew, Kelly and Caz joined the business and took the business where it is today - 7 retail stores across Victoria, Australia and an online store delivering swimwear nationally and internationally.


At Swimwear Galore we pride ourselves on recognising that everyBODY is different and everyBODY is beautiful! Stocking over 100 brands, our collection includes petite to plus size, cup sizes from A to H, maternity and mastectomy as well as an extensive choice in men’s and children’s swimwear.
