Splash-ready: picking swimwear that survives the summer

Kids' swimwear has the toughest job description in the catalog: sun, chlorine, salt water, sand in places sand should never be, and a spin cycle after every adventure. Our swim collection is chosen for exactly that — quick-drying, colorfast and comfortable enough for a full day at the pool.

For long sunny days, a long-sleeve rash guard is the parent favorite: fewer sunscreen negotiations, more splash time. Pair it with swim trunks or a one-piece in their favorite print — sharks, cherries, rainbow stripes — and let them pick. A kid who chooses their own swimsuit is a kid who wears it without debate.

Sizing tip: swimwear should fit snug, not loose — fabric relaxes in water. If your swimmer is between sizes, stay true to size rather than sizing up. And a second suit in the bag means nobody has to put a cold, wet one back on after lunch.
