    FAQs

    UV swimwear helps provide additional sun protection for covered areas of the body while swimming and playing outdoors. It also offers comfort and coverage without restricting movement in the water.

    No. UV swimwear helps protect covered skin, but exposed areas should still be protected with suitable sunscreen and other sun-safety measures. For outdoor swimming and water play, many parents choose a combination of UV swimwear, a UV sun hat and sunscreen to help keep their little one protected.

    UV swimwear can provide light coverage and comfort, and some styles, such as UV Sun & Sea Wetsuits, can also help keep little swimmers warmer during lessons and family swims. If your child feels the cold easily, choosing a wetsuit-style UV garment can offer extra warmth while still providing sun protection for outdoor adventures.

    Yes. UV swimwear can be worn during Water Babies and Swimvincible lessons and is a popular choice for parents who want extra coverage for their child's shoulders and arms. Rash tops can also help improve grip when holding your little one, particularly if barrier cream has been applied.

    Any child in the Water Babies programme must wear a double-layer nappy system. This means an approved inner layer plus an approved outer layer such as a Happy Nappy™, Splash Jammers™, or a Duo product with both layers built in. Some products in this collection, such as Happy Nappy™ Sunsuits, already include the Happy Nappy™ outer layer, so only the approved inner layer is needed to complete the double-layer system.

    A UV sun hat can help protect sensitive areas such as the face, ears and neck when playing outdoors around water. Combined with UV swimwear and suitable sunscreen on exposed skin, it can form part of a practical sun-safety routine for holidays, paddling pools and beach days.
