The business has opened a new flagship store in Carlton North, Victoria, saying it is the largest swimwear store in the Southern Hemisphere.
Located on Nicholson Street, the store carries more than 100 brands across cup sizes A to H, petite to plus size, maternity, men’s and kids’ ranges, as well as chlorine-resistant lines. The site includes fitting rooms and staff trained to support customer fit requirements.
“This new store represents so much more than just a retail space; it’s a celebration of our family story and the diverse community that has supported us for over three decades,” said Caz Skudar, Co-Owner and Brand Director.
Founded more than 35 years ago by Jan Ingersole, Swimwear Galore began as a single rack of swimwear inside a fabric store in Fitzroy. The business now operates seven locations across Victoria and an e-commerce platform that ships nationwide.
The company is operated by Ingersole’s three children – Andrew, Kelly and Caz – who oversee retail operations and brand development. Brands currently stocked include Sea Level, Speedo, Baku, Seafolly, Jets, Sunseeker, Funkita, Ripcurl and Artesands, alongside seasonal collections.
