Buy swimwear for children

As soon as it gets warmer, children want to head straight into the water. In this collection you will find swimwear with well known characters, from quick drying swim shorts to comfortable pool slippers. Everything is officially licensed, so you can be sure you are getting genuine products. If you are after more for the beach, take a look at the broader summer and beach collection.

What makes swimwear with a character so appealing?

Children put on their swimwear more readily when there is a character on it they recognise. Swim shorts featuring Hot Wheels or pool slippers with Spiderman make changing at the pool a lot easier. For girls there are cheerful models, such as the pink pool slippers from Hello Kitty. That way swimming becomes a little more attractive, even for children who find the water a bit daunting at first.

What to look out for when choosing

With swim shorts, pay attention to the size and to an elastic waistband, so the shorts stay in place during play. Quick drying material is pleasant, because then a child cools down less quickly after swimming. Pool slippers should be non slip for the smooth tiles around the pool. Choose a size that is not too loose, as the slippers then stay on the foot better.

Combining with towel and cap

Swimwear is easy to combine with the rest of the beach gear. After swimming you dry off quickly with a beach towel in the same theme. For on the go there are handy slippers in the same themes, and against the sun a cap or poncho is welcome. That way you put together a complete set around the character your child likes best, from head to toe.

What age is swimwear suitable for?

Most of the swimwear in this collection is made for children, from toddlers to primary school age. For the youngest there are swim shorts with a soft, elastic waistband, while older children often choose based on their favourite character. Always check the size chart on the product, as sizes may vary a little between brands.

When swimwear with a character is less suitable

A character your child loves today may appeal a little less next year. For swim shorts that only last a season that is no problem, but if you are unsure, choose a slightly more neutral model. Also pay attention to the fit, because swim shorts that are too loose or slippers that are too big are less comfortable in and around the water.
