Frankii Print Swimwear: Watercolour Art Meets Chlorine-Resistant Performance
Introducing Frankii: Where Australian Art Meets Elite Swimwear
The Frankii print represents a unique collaboration between Kozii Swimwear and local Australian watercolour artist Rachel Love. Designed specifically for competitive swimmers and training athletes, this exclusive print combines artistic expression with the technical performance demanded by serious swimmers.
The Artistry Behind Frankii
Rachel Love (@rachellove_art_clay) created Frankii using traditional watercolour techniques, working with deep blues and indigo washes that naturally evoke the aquatic environment. Her process involves letting pigment and water blend organically across the canvas, creating a mixed-floral design that balances softness with bold, dynamic expression.
The result is a study in flowers, movement, and natural form—elements that translate beautifully onto performance swimwear while maintaining the integrity of the original artwork.
Frankii Collection: Three Performance Styles
The Frankii print is available across three of our most popular performance styles, each designed for different swimmer preferences and training needs.
FRANKII ELITE BIND ONE PIECE
Our best-selling style and the preferred choice of Diving Australia athletes. The ELITE BIND features an open back design for unrestricted movement during strokes and turns, wide shoulder straps that stay securely in place during dives and flip turns, and a streamlined, athletic cut ideal for both training and competition.
Trusted by elite athletes like Maggie-Rose, this style delivers superior fit, comfort, and performance under the most demanding conditions.
Best for: Competitive swimmers, divers, and athletes who need maximum range of motion with secure strap placement.
FRANKII ELITE-X ONE PIECE
The ELITE-X offers a cross-back design that provides excellent shoulder support and freedom of movement. The X-back construction distributes tension evenly across the shoulders, making it ideal for intensive training sessions and long-distance swimming.
Best for: Training swimmers, triathletes, and athletes who prefer additional shoulder support during extended sessions.
FRANKII XOVER ONE PIECE
The XOVER features a unique crossover design that combines style with functionality. This cut offers moderate coverage with a contemporary aesthetic, perfect for swimmers who want performance without compromising on design.
Best for: Swimmers seeking a balance between performance, coverage, and modern styling.
