A rash top is a lightweight swim top designed to provide sun protection and extra comfort when swimming or playing outdoors. The UPF50+ fabric helps protect exposed skin while remaining cool and comfortable throughout the day.

Rash tops provide comfortable coverage across the chest, shoulders and arms while remaining lightweight and flexible in the water. Many families choose them for lessons because they offer added confidence without restricting movement.

Rash tops are designed to be close-fitting to reduce drag in the water and help prevent rubbing or chafing. They should feel snug but not uncomfortable. If you prefer a more relaxed fit, we recommend choosing the next size up.

Yes. Rash tops are designed for swimming in chlorinated pools, the sea and outdoor water environments. They're quick-drying, lightweight and stay comfortable even when wet.

Premium Rash Tops offer all the benefits of the standard rash tops, with a few extra features for added comfort and protection. Unlike the rest of the collection, they are fully lined, making them incredibly soft against the skin and helping to reduce chafing both in and out of the water. They also provide maximum UPF50+ sun protection and come in bright neon colours that are easy to spot at busy pools, beaches and open water venues.
