About Us

Ultra Zips isn’t just a brand—it’s a movement for inclusivity. As Australia’s first kid-founded and managed inclusive swimwear line, we’re proud to support our young founder, Brody, in his mission to create innovative designs that empower everyone to enjoy the water with confidence and ease. Together, let’s make waves in the world of inclusive fashion and bring this inspiring vision to life.

How Ultra Zips Began

Ultra Zips started with a simple but powerful idea from our founder, Brody. In 2020, after a frustrating experience trying to get changed at the beach, Brody designed his first prototype—a pair of boardshorts that prioritized ease, comfort, and functionality. While the original design captured the essence of today’s product, Brody spent years collaborating with designers, seamstresses, and an engineer to refine it. The result? Durable, non-bunching, and adaptive swimwear that’s easy for kids of all ages to use.

From 2021 to 2023, Brody partnered with local seamstresses to produce his designs in small batches, ensuring every pair of shorts met his high standards. By late 2023, Ultra Zips reached a significant milestone: Brody received his first wholesale order from a manufacturer and began showcasing his innovative boardshorts at local markets.

Now in 2024, Brody is expanding Ultra Zips even further by working with retailers to make his products accessible to more families.

What sets Ultra Zips apart is its adaptive, inclusive design. These boardshorts cater to all kids—those with disabilities and those without—fostering a sense of unity and enabling friends of all abilities to enjoy fashion, style, and the water together without barriers.

Ultra Zips isn’t just about swimwear—it’s about creating connections, empowering confidence, and making every splash count. Made for kids, by a kid.
