From T-shirts to wetsuits, from swimwear for girls to swim trunks for boys, parents and carers will find a wide range of options to suit different needs and water activities. In the Children's Swimwear category at Sportano, you will find top-quality models from tried-and-tested brands such as Color Kids, arena, Funkita, Nike, ROXY, Splash About and LEGO.Swim shirtsSwim shirts are a key part of a child's swimming wardrobe. Made from stretchy, quick-drying materials, these shirts not only protect the skin from the sun's harmful rays, but also provide an extra layer of thermal insulation. This is especially important for young children, whose bodies lose heat more quickly in cool water. Swim shirts are available in a variety of sleeve lengths - from short, to three-quarter, to long. The long sleeve provides maximum protection from the sun and is particularly recommended for children with very fair and sensitive skin. On the other hand, short-sleeved shirts offer greater freedom of movement, which is ideal for active little swimmers. Importantly, many children's swimming shirts are enriched with UV filters, which further increases their protection against ultraviolet radiation. This is important, especially when swimming for long periods of time in an open area such as the beach or an outdoor pool. The design of swimming shirts is also not negligible. Bright colours and attractive designs not only appeal to children, but also increase their visibility in the water, which is an additional safety feature. Manufacturers often offer a wide range of designs, from favourite cartoon characters to nautical patterns such as fish or waves.Swimming suits for childrenSwimming suits for children are essential for little water activity enthusiasts. Designed with comfort and safety in mind, these suits are ideal for both learning to swim and playing in the water. The design of the suits not only provides thermal protection, but can also offer additional flotation, which is particularly important for beginner swimmers. This makes it easier for children to stay afloat, increasing their confidence and safety when learning to swim. Swimsuits for children are usually made of neoprene, a material known for its excellent insulating properties. Neoprene provides warmth while being lightweight and flexible, allowing freedom of movement in the water. Some models are equipped with adjustable Velcro closures, allowing the suit to better fit the child's figure. Safety is a priority when it comes to children's swimming suits. Many models include reflective elements to improve a child's visibility in the water, as well as distinctive colours, making it easier for parents and carers to keep their eyes on their child while they play in the water. Additionally, it is worth paying attention to the seams and trims of the wetsuits. These should be made in such a way that they do not cause chafing or irritation to the child's delicate skin. High-quality children's swimsuits are designed to combine functionality, comfort and style, making them a great choice for little water adventure lovers. Swimsuits for girlsSwimsuits for girls are vital in the world of children's beach fashion. Designed to meet the needs of young swimmers, these swimsuits combine comfort, functionality and an attractive design. There are many different types of swimwear, from classic one-piece swimsuits to more modern and fashionable two-piece models such as bikinis and tankinis. One-piece swimsuits are often chosen for their practicality and comfort. They provide full body coverage, which is important both for protection from the sun and for comfort when playing in the water. They are ideal for younger girls and those just starting out in swimming. Two-piece swimwear, such as bikinis and tankinis, are gaining popularity among older girls who are looking for more fashionable options. A tankini, with a long top and short shorts or briefs, offers more coverage than a traditional bikini, while still allowing for freedom of movement and comfort. Whatever the type, girls' swimwear is often decorated with fun patterns and bright colours. Motifs such as flowers, animals, cartoon characters or abstract patterns are popular. Such vibrant colours and patterns not only appeal to children, but also make it easier for parents to quickly locate their child at the beach or pool. Boys' swimming trunks and shorts Boys' swimming trunks and shorts are a staple of children's beach fashion. The variety of styles and designs means that there is something for every little swimmer. Swimming trunks tend to be tighter and designed to provide minimal resistance in the water, which is particularly important for boys who like to swim and dive. Swim shorts, on the other hand, offer more freedom and are more versatile. They are ideal not only for swimming, but also for other beach activities such as building sandcastles or playing beach ball. The shorts often have quick-drying material, which is practical when children are moving from water to land and back again. As with swimwear for girls, swim trunks and swim shorts for boys are available in a range of vibrant colours and patterns. Themes such as superheroes, sports, sea animals or geometric patterns are popular. Safety is also an important aspect when choosing swimwear for boys. Many models include strings or elastic straps to ensure a secure fit and prevent the shorts from slipping during water activities. In addition, some models are equipped with pockets with drains to prevent water and sand accumulation, increasing comfort.Materials and technologies in children's swimwearModern children's swimwear uses advanced materials and technologies that significantly contribute to comfort, functionality and safety during water activities. Flexible and durable materials:The main material used in swimwear is elastane (also known as Lycra), which is prized for its exceptional elasticity and ability to adhere to the body, providing freedom of movement in the water. This is crucial, especially for children who are very active and need clothing that will not restrict them. Quick-drying fabrics: the speed at which the fabric dries is also an important aspect. Children are often in and out of the water, so quick-drying fabrics are invaluable as they provide greater comfort and avoid feeling cold when they get out of the water. UV protection: Many types of children's swimwear contain built-in UV filters to protect children's delicate skin from the sun's harmful rays. This is particularly important in garments that come into direct contact with UV radiation, such as swim shirts and swimsuits. Flotation and insulation: For swimming suits, neoprene is often used, which not only provides thermal insulation but can also aid flotation. This is particularly important for younger children who are learning to swim and need extra support in staying afloat. Durability and chlorine resistance: children's swimwear is often exposed to chlorine in swimming pools. That is why manufacturers use chlorine-resistant materials that not only retain their shape and colour for a long time, but are also less susceptible to damage from frequent contact with pool chemicals. Innovative sewing technologies: the way the materials are joined is equally important. Flat seams are used to prevent chafing and skin irritation, which is extremely important for children's delicate skin. In addition, modern sewing techniques ensure better durability of the garment and resistance to stretching. Aesthetics and safety: in addition to functionality, manufacturers of children's swimwear also focus on aesthetics. They use vibrant colours and attractive designs that not only appeal to children, but also increase their visibility in the water, which is an additional safety feature.
