It sounds like an oxymoron, water-repellent swimwear! But can you imagine how convenient it would be to own a pair?


In Australia, 200 million beach visits are made averaging 2.3 hours each visit. Yet, individuals are unaware that spending several hours in wet swimwear provides a perfect climate for fungus-growth and infections along with the susceptibility of mould-growth in bags. Throughout my MDP, I aim to create a range of waterproof swimwear to combat the inconvenience and underlying health issues associated with wearing wet swimsuits. 


Do you have any advice regarding safe hydrophobic materials/sprays that are suitable for swimwear?

What do you think?

Congratulations Annabelle on your fantastic efforts with your MDP, it has been great to be part of your design journey this year. 

Good luck with the submission of your project and adding any finishing touches this week, I am sure you will do great. We hope that you have learned a lot from being part of this year's UpRising and are excited to take your creativity and design thinking into the next steps in life, (which is exactly what business and industry are looking for.) Teachers, thank you for helping your students make the leap across the gap, from classroom to industry. Business leaders, likewise it has been fantastic to connect with you, thank you for all of the support you have given to these young designers and helping to grow the innovation ecosystem in NSW. Breaking down the silos, together.


If you could complete this quick survey that would be greatly appreciated, teachers and business/community also welcome to fill in and provide valuable feedback. 


Thank you.
