History
Watersun was founded in Melbourne, Victoria, in 1955 by David Waters. Operating a retail outlet with manufacturing at the back of a small shop in Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, Watersun employed young new designers to gain notoriety with swimwear designs in a very conservative post-war Australia.
Watersun was sold in 1984 to ADA swimwear who subsequently filed for bankruptcy in 1987 with the current owner, Conalpin Pty. Ltd., acquiring the trademarks for both Watersun and ADA in 2009.
