Standard Swimwear

Q: Is standard swimwear suitable for Water Babies lessons?

Standard swimwear can be worn over approved swim nappy products , but on its own it does not meet Water Babies' requirements. All Water Babies swimmers must wear an approved double-layer nappy system, regardless of potty training status.

Yes. Appropriate swimwear such as swim shorts and swim costumes can be worn for Swimvincible lessons. The double-layer nappy system is not required for Swimvincible swimmers.

Choose swimwear that fits comfortably without being restrictive. A secure fit helps little ones move freely, build confidence and enjoy their time in the water.

Standard swimwear is designed for comfort and movement rather than insulation. If your child tends to feel cold during lessons or swims in a cooler pool, a wetsuit or thermal base layer may help keep them comfortable for longer.

Absolutely. These versatile styles are perfect for family trips, beach days and holidays, making them a practical addition to your child's swim bag.

After each swim, rinse swimwear in cold water to remove chlorine or salt, then hang it to dry away from direct sunlight to help keep it looking and fitting its best. Always check the care label before washing.
