SwimTech™ Cotton
Natural matter. Scientific performance.
Modern swimwear is built almost entirely from synthetic, petroleum-based fibres, materials that are not designed for heat, sweat, or prolonged skin contact.
SwimTech Cotton was developed to offer a more natural alternative: one that performs in water, remains comfortable in heat, and feels considered on the skin.
What Makes It Different?
SwimTech Cotton is a scientifically engineered cotton swimwear fabric, designed to behave like a performance textile without relying on synthetics.
Lightweight, breathable, and naturally elastic, it moves with the body while maintaining structure in water and beyond.
Crafted for Heat
Unlike synthetic swimwear, SwimTech Cotton can be worn in the sauna without releasing toxins or degrading under heat.
It allows the skin to breathe, supports natural temperature regulation, and remains soft against the body — even in high temperatures.
Gentle on Skin
Cotton is naturally hypoallergenic and dermatologically considered.
SwimTech Cotton is designed for prolonged wear, offering a soft, breathable feel without harsh chemical finishes, ideal for sensitive skin and repeated use.
SwimTech Cotton vs Conventional Synthetics
Property
Nuée SwimTech Cotton
Conventional Synthetic Swimwear
Elasticity
3D cotton structure with minimal encapsulated stretch — comfort without the “plastic” feel.
Elastane-based yarns (polyester/nylon blends) rely on high synthetic content for stretch.
Drying speed
Fast drying through air-circulation in the 3D fabric structure.
Often dries fast, but through less breathable fibre structures.
Skin contact
Cotton against the skin — designed to feel natural, breathable, and sauna-considered.
Direct contact with synthetic fibres and chemical finishes.
Salt & chlorinated water
Built for repeat wear — high resistance in salt and chlorinated water.
Performance varies by blend and finishing.
Microplastics
No synthetic fibre shedding.
Synthetic garments can shed microfibres during washing.
Pilling / lint
Engineered to minimise pilling and linting.
Can be medium to high depending on yarn and abrasion.
Note: Always rinse after salt/chlorine exposure and follow care instructions to extend garment life.
