I’m looking forward to using this at the beach, and as an outdoor base layer under her clothes in the winter. Such a versatile thermal item." Great confidence booster with arms free for splashing and playing - my son has no complaints with this unlike the various rings and armbands I have tried. I’ve been handwashing this along with the Happy Nappy Duo and the changing mat after use, and it feels very durable. This is what I love most about the Splash About products, they never seem to show any wear despite being used and washed so much. Warmth—younger babies will still need extra warmth, especially in cooler pools, so choose baby swimwear which is made from neoprene, or has a thermal lining.

Inflatability isn’t adjustable, although there are float disc armband systems available where float discs can be gradually removed If your child isn’t keen on wearing a floatsuit, these tips should help them feel more comfortable: Being properly prepared for a beach holiday can guarantee your children have a fantastic time while staying safe in the sun and water. Below is a guide to the essentials they will need for safe fun in the sun: 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. 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.Floatsuits work with your child’s natural buoyancy, preventing them from sinking while enabling them to put their head underwater if they want to. Although they help keep the child safe in the water, they are swimming aids and aren’t intended as a safety device. At this age, your baby might start baby swimming classes and can stay in the water for longer. Standard swimming costumes are fine, but must be worn with a swim nappy to avoid accidents in the pool. These UPF tops protect children’s shoulders, arms and torsos from the sun. Rash tops are suitable for babies aged six months and above and can be worn with a Happy Nappy or board shorts or over any other type of swimwear. Swimwear with built-in removable floats—these will help your baby stay above the water when they’re in the pool.

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. When choosing the right size of suit for your child, don’t go by their age. Instead, measure their chest circumference, body length and weight, to ensure the best fit possible. 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.

Rinse the floatsuit thoroughly in cool water after use and leave to dry naturally, out of direct sunlight. The floats work with your child’s natural buoyancy, so when using a swim vest for the first time, you may need to remove some floats to achieve the optimum level of balance for your child. This Thermaswim Toddlersuit has a fleecy lining, which is so soft. I was a bit jealous when I put it on Heidi. We used the Happy Nappy Duo underneath; and the suit fitted really well. It isn’t tight, and it has a full length zip which makes it very easy to take off after swimming. She had full range of movement during the swim session too, and was able to use her arms and legs fully. Neoprene swimwear has many benefits, including providing insulation to help babies feel warmer in the water. 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.

The most important factors to consider for taking babies aged 12–18 months swimming are as follows: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. Preventing leaks—some reusable swim nappies, such as the Happy Nappy, provide comfort to babies and give you peace of mind that they can enjoy a leak-free swim. Babies will be able to spend a little more time in the pool at this age, so expect swimming sessions to last around 20–40 minutes. For this reason, it’s a good idea to invest in the right swimwear so they can fully enjoy their time in the water.
