UV swimwear—if you plan to take your baby to the beach or an outdoor pool now they’re older, make sure they’re wearing special UV swimwear to protect them from the sun. Clean soiled suits in a washing machine on a warm wash with a gentle detergent. Don’t use fabric conditioner as this can damage the material’s UPF coating. Remember to remove all the floats first

I love that the flotation bars can be removed gradually as she becomes a stronger swimmer, until it will really just be her ‘swimming coat’. It comes in the gorgeous array of patterns that we love about the Splash About products.Choose swimwear made from UPF fabric to protect your children’s delicate skin from the sun. Splash About’s UV all-in-one collectionfeatures UPF 50+ sun protection. For sun protection with the added benefit of integrated floats, choose our UV floatsuits. For decades, armbands have been parents’ go-to buoyancy aid when taking their children swimming. However, floatsuits have many more advantages over these traditional swimming aids. Wearing the correct size of floatsuit will help keep your child as safe as possible. So choose a suit based on their weight, chest circumference and height, rather than just their age. Freedom of movement—babies this age love to wriggle and it’s the perfect time to get them used to feeling the water on their arms and legs. Look for baby swimwear that allows for a full range of movement. The Happy Nappy provides excellent protection from faecal leaks and is mandatory in 99% of swim schools.

Having never used any sort of flotation aid with either of our daughters, this was a new one for us! We went for a family swim at the local pool, and Heidi absolutely loved having freedom to float away from us; and thought it was funny to let go and try her own swimming techniques. It was great for her solo water confidence. Great value for money and designed in beautiful surface patterns that compliment Splash About’s wide range of swim products. Browse our collections to find matching swimwear and swimming accessories for your little one! Let your child see how a floatsuit feels once they are wearing it—they tend to be much more comfortable and less restrictive than armbands.Unfortunately, floatsuits aren’t suitable for babies under one year old. At this age, babies tend not to have the balance and strength they need to support themselves in the water when wearing a floatsuit. Toddlers and older children can enjoy splashing about in cooler water for longer by wearing a wetsuit. Made from neoprene, wetsuits protect skin from the sun and provide added warmth for children while they explore the beach.

Let them choose the style they prefer—there are plenty of options available, including bright patterns and colours to suit every child’s taste. Many of Splash About’s designs come in classic or long-sleeve designs—for example, our navy with white strip design is available as a sun protection floatsuit and in a classic swimsuit design. Skin sensitivity—newborn babies often have sensitive skin, which can be irritated by chlorine. If your baby has a skin condition such as eczema, choose baby swimwear that will help keep their barrier cream in place. Swim nappies are an essential piece of swimwear and any child who isn’t potty-trained will need to wear one in a swimming pool. They are enforced as part of the double-layer nappy system requirement by most organised baby swimming lessons. Reusable swim nappies have many advantages over disposable swim nappies. You can read more about the benefits of reusable swim nappies here For peace of mind, choose baby swimwear with an integrated swim nappy, as these are designed to prevent faeces leaking into the pool. Alternatively, use a reusable swim nappy with your child’s usual swimming costume.Swimwear with built-in removable floats—these will help your baby stay above the water when they’re in the pool. Yes.
