Olympic diving sensation Tom Daley is making waves outside the pool with the launch of his new swimwear collection, a collaboration that seamlessly merges his athletic prowess with his renowned passion for knitting.
The 5-time Olympic medalist, who publicly came out in 2013, is not only the designer but also the striking face of the campaign, modeling the eye-catching, form-fitting pieces himself.
Released this week, the collection showcases Daley’s unique personal style, incorporating vibrant colors and retro-inspired, knitting-influenced graphics. Daley, known for his poolside knitting during major competitions, has channeled this beloved hobby into a fresh design aesthetic for the swimwear. The line features a range of pieces, including adjustable swimsuits, two-piece bikinis, swimming trunks, and 5-inch swimming shorts, all designed to blend style with performance technology like adidas’ resilient Infinitex fabric.
“I wanted this collection to be fun, expressive and allow people to celebrate their individuality,” Daley stated, emphasizing his desire for the water to be a space for everyone. He expressed confidence that the knitting-inspired design would create a “unique fashion-forward look” that people would feel confident wearing both in and out of the water.
