Frequently Asked Questions About Boys' Swimwear

What does UPF 50+ mean in swimwear?

UPF 50+ means the fabric is made to block most of the sun’s UV rays on the areas it covers. It is especially useful for long pool or beach days, when children are in and out of the water and sunscreen can wear off more quickly.

It is still worth applying sunscreen to exposed skin, bringing a hat and taking shade breaks when you can, particularly around midday.

What swimwear is best for swimming lessons?

For swimming lessons, choose a style that feels snug enough to stay put but still lets your child stretch, kick and move freely. If it is his first lesson, a simple, comfortable rashsuit or rash guard is usually the easiest choice. It is also worth checking your swim school’s rules before you buy, as there may be colour or coverage requirements.

What should my child wear over swimwear?

A hooded swim robe is one of those things you will use more than you expect. Pop it on straight after a swim to dry your child off and keep him warm while you walk to the car, head for lunch or wait for siblings to finish.

How do I choose the right size?

Go by the measurements on the product page, rather than age alone. Swimwear should sit comfortably against the body without digging in, sagging or making it hard to move. If your child is between sizes, consider how he prefers his swimwear to fit.

How should I care for children’s swimwear?

Give swimwear a quick rinse in cool water after every pool or beach day. Once you are home, wash it gently according to the care label and dry it in the shade. Try not to leave it wet in a swim bag or wrapped in a towel for too long, as chlorine, salt water and sunscreen can affect the colour and stretch.
