We tried out the Nike Swim victory modest swimwear collection to see if it lives up to its name

Best: Secure fit

Rating: 7/10

The Nike hijab is made from “durable, chlorine-resistant fabric” – it grants full neck and head coverage, fitting securely around the face. The elastic around the face gives it more security, so you won’t have to worry about it slipping off when underwater, but it’s still very comfortable to wear. Most swimming hijabs are difficult to place around the face, as they can often be extremely tight, but we found this hijab fit with ease.

Many women prefer to wear the hijab like a cap, rather than have full coverage around the neck area. For us the elastic meant this hijab could be worn around the head effortlessly, tucking the hair underneath and placing the extra material used for the neck, inside the cap. It held up well underwater, and the pressure of the water had no effect on the placement of the hijab.

Best: For support

We tested this tunic in a size small, which was true to size. There was still a little bit of room and space for the material to move around, granting a more modest look for those that don’t want their figure or body shape to show. It also comes with an underlayer bra attached to it, with removable cups which allow water to drain more easily. We found that you won’t need to wear an extra bra underneath, as the tunic itself provides an extra layer of security.

Its high neck coverage and adjustable zip make it simple to slip on quickly for those fast changes during your holiday getaway or at the local pool. And with its bright aquamarine, fireberry and white sleeve pattern, contrasting with the solid black colour of the body, It’s vibrant and easily noticeable if you’re swimming out in the sea.

Both sleeves have thumb grips at the end to make sure they do not roll up when swimming. When worn underwater, the tunic did rise up slightly, so it may be best to place the tunic inside the leggings. You can easily untuck the material again once you have left the pool.

Best: For comfort

Rating: 7.5/10

Nike Swim’s stretchable leggings truly did not disappoint – the material was soft against the skin and super lightweight. They sit high on the waist and fit like a glove – good for the days you may be feeling a little bloated, but still snug enough to make sure it stays in place when swimming.

In the water the leggings didn’t move or roll down, which gave a more secure experience and made us feel like we could swim freely and enjoy every moment. These leggings are currently out of stock but will be available again soon.

Best: Statement piece

Rating: 7/10

Nike’s victory collection 2.0 also comes in many other designs. Another piece that also stood out to us was the monochrome white tick swimsuit, which is also available to purchase separately.

The leggings of this set are a simple yet statement-making piece with white ticks all over the bottoms. The fabric, like the other piece, is stretchable, breathable and easy to wear. These leggings also held up well underwater and sat nicely around the waist and hips – another of our favourite pieces from the collection.
