There’s nothing more refreshing than doing the dip. In the pool, that is. We’ve rounded up a few of our favourite swim essentials that will help you cool off when things heat up. Say hello to your new maillot.

 Mixed up. Tops and bottoms sold as separates, like these at Boathouse, make mixing and matching a cinch. Pair those with complimentary colours and you’ll have a perfect match, even if the prints are anything but.

Flip out. Available in bright summer colours, Nike’s flip flops are soft under your soles and tough on the ground. Plus, they float so you can kick them off with reckless abandon.

Fruit punch. The one piece is back and American Apparel’s watermelon-printed maillot is a slice of summer fun.

Spot on. The 1950s-inspired suit, available at Swimco, has piping and rouching to visually cinch your waist and boy-cut bottoms to offer a little more coverage.

Flower power. This lingerie-inspired bikini, available at Swimco, has delicate detailing and removable straps so it can be worn as a bandeau.

Looks like summer’s going swimmingly!
