Protect your child against the intense sun
Protecting against the intense sun is crucial for your child. Children can play for hours in the sun and do not get tired. That’s why it is important that, as adults, you protect your children against the harmful effects of the sun to take the next steps.
Apply sunscreen with a SPF of at least 30 to your child and reapply every 2 hours.
Make sure your child stays hydrated to prevent dehydration or heatstroke.
Protect your child from the sun by having them wear UV-protective (swim)wear.
When it comes to protecting your child so they can play carefree during the summer days, Swim Essentials is happy to contribute. At Swim Essentials, you can choose from a wide range of UV-protective swimwear.
UV swimsuits with UPF 50+ protection
Do you want to protect your child against the sun and, at the same time, give a radiant appearance? That is possible with UV swimsuits. The UV swimsuits from Swim Essentials are made of UV-resistant fabric, providing functional protection from the sun and its UV radiation. They offer a protection factor of 50 (UPF 50+), which is much higher than the protection of regular T-shirts (which only offer a protection of factor 10). Moreover, your child will also look radiant thanks to Swim Essentials’ unique design.
Swimsuits in various sizes and styles
The UV swimsuits for babies are available in 3 different sizes: 62/68, 74/80, and 86/92. These suits are specially designed for the little ones and feature snap buttons at the bottom, making it easy and quick to change a UV swim diaper. Looking for a similar outfit in larger sizes? Check out our UV swim T-shirts and UV swim shorts for boys. Additionally, the UV swimsuits come in fun prints, such as Lila Sea Stars, Green Leopard Print, and Sea Stars. This way, your baby will look stylish in protective swimwear.
A UV swimsuit is not made to keep your child warm, but to protect the skin from the sun. Swim Essentials UV swimsuits are made of soft, stretchy fabric and almost all of them have UPF 50+, so they are comfortable on warm days too. Many models dry quickly, so your child does not stay in wet clothing for long after swimming.
Which sizes do UV swimsuits come in?
Swim Essentials UV swimsuits start at size 62/68. Depending on the model, the sizes go up to 134/140 or 146/152. Some models have press studs up to size 86/92, which makes changing easier. Not every model is available in every size, so check the sizes on each product page before you order.
What is a UV suit?
A UV suit is a one-piece swimsuit made from fabric with UV protection. Our UV swimsuits have UPF 50+ and often long sleeves, so the torso, shoulders and arms are covered in one go. The boys versions have short legs; for girls you can choose swimsuits without sleeves, with short sleeves or with long sleeves. That means less skin to cover with suncream.
How do you easily put a UV swimsuit on a baby?
Choose a model with press studs or a zip. Many girls UV swimsuits have press studs up to size 86/92, so you do not have to take the whole suit off when changing. The boys Bluey swimsuit has a front zip and snap buttons at the bottom. Because the fabric stretches, the suit also goes on and off easily without a fastening.
Can a swim diaper go under a UV swimsuit?
Yes, several UV swimsuits are made with room for one. The product information for the boys Checkmate and Jungle swimsuits, among others, says a swim diaper fits underneath. Put the swim diaper on first and then the swimsuit. If your little one is not yet potty trained, many pools ask for a swim diaper.
UV swimsuit or separate UV shirt and swim shorts: which is more practical?
A one-piece UV swimsuit does not ride up and covers the torso, arms and upper legs at once. That works well for babies and toddlers who crawl and sit a lot. A separate UV swim shirt with swim shorts or a swim boxer is easier for toilet trips and changing, and you can mix and match the pieces. The boys swimsuits go up to size 98/104, shirts and shorts up to 146/152.
