5 main reasons to choose a swim top for your child
1. Protection from the sun
The main purpose of a children's swim top is to provide your baby's skin with sun protection up to UPF50+, making it an essential piece of swimwear for beach holidays, especially in warmer climates. Children's swim tops are available with both long and short sleeves, meaning you can cover your child's entire arm if they are more sensitive to the sun, or leave their arms exposed and use sunscreen.
2. Protection against wind and sand
A children's swim top covers a large part of the body, so it will help protect your child from wind and sand. Not only can children get sunburned, but they are also at risk of windburn on a very windy day at the beach, which can also result in sand being blasted at them.
3. Sea protection
It is a popular choice among surfers as it provides basic protection against the sun, wind and any chafing from the surfboard. The advantage of a children's swim top is that it is lightweight, comfortable and easy to move around in, allowing your child to run, swim, play and move freely in all the activities they love.
4. Hřejivost
While a child's swim top will never warm your child to a high level of heat, it will certainly add a little more than regular swimwear; especially for boys who tend to have their upper half bare.
5. Keep creams in place
If your child suffers from skin conditions, you are most likely already familiar with the routine you have to go through before taking your children swimming. Chlorine and salt water can be irritating to sensitive children's skin and you will want to protect your child to avoid further discomfort. The best practice is to apply protective cream to your child an hour before swimming, there will be enough time for the cream to absorb into the skin and provide a layer of protection from the water and prevent any chemicals from causing further problems.
