Swim

Pool days, beach days, sprinkler days, and the inevitable "can we go back in?" This swim edit covers the whole lineup: one-pieces, rash guards, trunks, cover-ups, floats, and swim diapers, with plenty of UPF options from Flap Happy, Minnow, Sunguard Swim, and more.

For babies and toddlers, rash sets are particularly handy: more coverage, easy movement, and fewer negotiations over sunscreen on every square inch. Add a swim diaper for the littlest swimmers and you're ready for the shallow end. Shop by stage with kids' swimwear, toddler swimwear, and baby swim for first splashes and very serious poolside kicking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do kids need UPF swimwear?

UPF swimwear can make sun protection a lot easier by keeping more skin covered while they're in and out of the water. Rash guards are especially useful for shoulders and backs, which have a suspicious habit of being missed during sunscreen duty. You'll still want sunscreen on exposed skin and to reapply as needed.

What swimwear does a baby need?

A comfortable rash set and swim diaper are a practical place to start. They're easy to move in, simple to change, and give a little more coverage for sunny days. You can find more first-swim options in baby swim.

How should kids' swimwear fit?

Close enough to stay put in the water, but never so tight that it digs in or restricts movement. Rash guards are meant to sit fairly close to the body, while swimsuits and trunks should feel secure without gaping or riding up. If sizing is unclear, check the brand's height and weight guide before ordering.
