Sunburn is painful and miserable for everyone. Sunburn is also a leading cause of skin cancer. Studies have found that only a few significant sunburn episodes in childhood greatly increase the risk of skin cancer in later life, so we know that young sensitive skin needs more protection than older skin that has had greater exposure to the sun. You can protect against sunburn with suncream or protective clothing (including swimwear). Most babies hate having suncream applied. Most people don’t put on enough suncream, miss bits or forget to reapply. Sun-protection swimwear means you only need to apply suncream to the bits that aren’t covered by the swimwear – less to do and less to think about. Our signature swimwear fabric has a UPF50+ rating when dry and when wet.

Swimwear fabric isn’t “breathable” so on extremely hot days please be sensible about the risks of heat rashes, but if your baby is in and out of water frequently that will alleviate any risk. 

In the same vein, our all-in-ones are not designed as warmth suits, but the extra coverage along the arms and legs will provide a modest amount of warmth when worn in cooler water: perfect if your baby is finding their swimming lessons a little too cold. 

No. Your baby will need to wear a swim nappy underneath this all-in-one. If the all-in-one becomes soiled, please wash promptly to avoid staining. These suits are stitched to last and wash well so you will get lots of use out of them. 

We use ECONYL yarn in our signature fabric for our swimwear. ECONYL is the industry leader for quality regenerated polyamide. When the ECONYL is created from post-consumer waste including ghost fishing nets, the regeneration process takes it back to a molecular level so the regenerated polyamide that is created is the same as virgin polyamide. There is no compromise on quality.
