UV-swim shorts give optimal protection
The swim shorts are made of UPF50+ material, which is a UV-protection offer, and your sun protects against the harmful effects of UV rays.

Frequently asked questions: Swim Shorts
Does my child need underwear under swim shorts?
No. Swim shorts are worn without underwear. Many of our swim shorts have a soft inner lining, the Dark Blue Islands shorts for example have a non-see-through lining. Regular underwear stays wet and heavy after swimming. If your child is not yet potty trained, choose a swim diaper under the shorts or a swim boxer with room for a swim diaper.
Do the swim shorts have UV protection?
Most of them do. For a large part of our swim shorts, UPF 50+ is listed in the key features, for example Seastar, Crabby, Jungle, Dino and Green Leopard. That means the fabric blocks more than 98% of UV radiation. For a few older models it is not listed. Combine the shorts with a UV swim shirt to protect the upper body as well.
Are there swim shorts for father and son in the same print?
Yes. A few swim shorts come in both kids and adult sizes. The Blue Stripes swim shorts run from 62/68 to 146/152 and from S to XXL. Lobster Stripe, Palm Stripe and Lobster Bay are also available for adults, in S to XL. That way father and son, or the whole family, can go to the beach in the same print.
How do swim shorts stay in place?
Our swim shorts have an elastic waistband and, on many models, an adjustable drawstring, sometimes on the inside. You can use it to tighten the shorts if your child is between two sizes. The stretchy fabric moves along with swimming, jumping and playing. Check that the drawstring is tied before your child goes into the water.
Which sizes of swim shorts are there for children?
Swim Essentials swim shorts run from size 62/68 up to 146/152, roughly 3 months to 12 years. Some models start at 74/80. The size is your child’s height in centimetres. Thanks to the elastic waistband and drawstring, you can choose the larger size when in doubt, so the shorts fit for longer.
