Footmark Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Sumida-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Norifumi Isobe), celebrating its 80th anniversary, will launch the "Double Flare Separate Swimsuit," which can be used for both swimming lessons and leisure pools, on April 30, 2026.
It will be available in four color variations: Navy White, Navy Navy, Black Black, and Black Purple. Sizes range from 110 to 6L, offering 13 sizes. The price is 2,530 to 3,630 yen (tax-included suggested retail price), and it will be sold at Footmark's official online shop and other retailers.
**Development Background**
In recent years, due to factors such as aging school pools and intense summer heat, the format of swimming lessons has changed, leading to a decrease in opportunities to wear school swimsuits. On the other hand, the number of users of private large leisure pools and theme park pools continues to increase, leading to more opportunities to wear leisure swimsuits. In response to these social trends and a growing desire for savings, we planned a school swimsuit that can be used for both swimming lessons and leisure pools.
For its development, we took our own product, the "Double Flare One-Piece," launched in 2013 and well-received, as its origin.
At that time, when skirt-type school swimsuits were not yet mainstream, the innovative design with two layers of flares attracted attention, and the product continued to be mass-produced. Even after sales ended, many requests for its re-release were received.
This time, we reviewed the design, anticipating both the relaxation of school swimsuit regulations by schools and use in leisure pools. We applied mellow processing (a process that creates cute ruffles by sewing the hem to roll up and undulate) to the shoulder and hem areas, and some colors feature accent stitching. Furthermore, considering that stays at leisure pools tend to be longer, we refreshed it from a one-piece type to a separate type for easier access to restrooms.

**Developer's Comment**
"Even after more than 10 years since the end of sales, we continued to receive requests for the re-release of the 'Double Flare One-Piece.' This project started in response to those voices.
This product series is intended for elementary school children who find simple school swimsuits insufficient, and for parents who want to reduce the burden of purchasing separate school and leisure swimsuits. We aimed to slightly alleviate the burden of 'one for school, one for play' by maintaining the design while updating the usability to a separate type."
