Macke Collabs with FAST & Female, by Freya Anderson.

Goggles on for this one.

Macke has collaborated with FAST & Female, the initiative founded by Olympic gold medallist Freya Anderson.

Last weekend at the FAST & Female Derby clinic, Freya wore Macke’s exclusive Pink & Berry swimsuits from the latest collection. Not in a campaign shoot, not on a podium, but poolside, coaching, talking, moving through the clinic alongside the girls attending.

FAST & Female was created with a clear focus: helping girls stay in sport for longer. The organisation runs all-female clinics designed to support young athletes through the years where participation often drops off. The conversations in these clinics span technique and performance, but also body confidence, menstrual cycle education, nutrition, mindset, and the balancing act between sport and life.

The statistic at the centre of their mission is stark, 64% of girls leave sport by the end of puberty.

Confidence and longevity in sport have always shaped our approach, so this felt right.

Supporting an initiative that’s working to keep girls in sport longer is aligned with our core values. We want girls to feel empowered in their bodies, supported through the changes that come with growing up, and confident enough to stay in the water, or wherever their sport takes them.

For parents, this signals support structures.
For young swimmers, representation.
For the wider community, an investment in longevity.

The Pink & Berry swimsuits proudly sat within that story last Sunday, within real sessions, part of an environment built on mentorship and openness. 

We're proud to be a small part.

The collection is available now.
