How to Choose the Right Kids Swimwear for Your Child

Shopping for children's swimwear can be surprisingly tricky.

You want something that looks cute, but appearance isn't the only thing that matters.

The swimwear should also fit appropriately, allow your child to move comfortably and suit the type of swimming activity you're planning.

Here are some things to consider when choosing kids swimwear.

1. Start With the Right Size

Children grow quickly, which can make sizing confusing.

Instead of automatically choosing based on your child's age, check the measurements provided for the particular swimwear design.

Pink N’ Proper's current kids swimwear collection includes selected styles for 1–2 years, 3–4 years and 5–8 years.

If you're unsure, checking the size guide or contacting the brand before purchasing can help.

2. Think About the Type of Swimming

Where will your child be wearing the swimwear?

For example:

Swimming pool

A simple swimsuit or two-piece set may be suitable for regular pool days.

Beach holiday

A longer-sleeve swimwear design can be one option parents may consider for a beach wardrobe.

Resort

You may want something that looks just as cute in holiday photos as it does by the pool.

Water activities

Think about how much movement the child will be doing and choose a suitable fit.

3. Consider Sleeve Length

Kids swimwear comes in different sleeve lengths.

Pink N’ Proper's current collection includes both long-sleeve two-piece swim sets and a short-sleeve swim onesie.

This gives parents different styles to consider depending on their child's preferences and the activity.

4. Choose Something Your Child Likes

Let's be honest.

Children are much more likely to get excited about swimming when they like what they're wearing.

Pink N’ Proper's collection includes playful names and colour combinations such as Lemon Sorbet, Salt & Stripes and Sandstone.

The designs are also unisex, making them suitable options for families shopping for both boys and girls.

5. Don't Forget the Accessories

Swimwear is only one part of a child's swimming outfit.

Pink N’ Proper's current kids collection also includes swim caps and other swimming accessories.

A coordinated swim cap can complete the look while making your child's swimwear feel like a proper little swimming outfit.
