Children's swimwear that protects against the sun
When the sun starts to burn and the temperature rises, it's time to find the swimwear. We have a wide selection of swimwear for children in various sizes, designs and colours. Whether you're looking for UV swimwear in the form of suits, swim shorts, bikinis or swim nappies for newborns, Småfolk is sure to have something for you. All our children's swimwear has UPF50+, which stands for "Ultraviolet Protection Factor" and is a term for how good the protection against the sun's ultraviolet rays is.
Why use UV swimwear for children?
UV swimwear for children is the ideal solution to protect your child from harmful sun rays. UV swimwear is made from the same comfortable materials as regular swimwear, but the difference lies in the tight weave of the fibres, which prevents sun rays from penetrating. With Småfolk's UV swimwear, which offers UPF50+ protection, you can be sure that 98% of harmful UV rays are blocked. Out of 50 sun rays, only one penetrates the material. This makes UV swimwear a safe and responsible choice for your child when playing outdoors. By choosing UV swimwear from Småfolk, you can be sure that your child can look forward to sunny summer days safely, as their skin is optimally protected.
UV swimwear for babies and children
When children spend a lot of time in the water, the water acts like a mirror, reflecting the sun's rays. In fact, UV exposure from reflection is twice as high. Fortunately, Småfolk offers a wide selection of UV swimwear that protects children from sunburn. You'll find many different models with imaginative and beautiful designs that children love. Our swimwear comes in many great colours, so your child can choose exactly what they like. In addition to swimwear, we also sell pretty swim shoes and sun hats with UV protection.
UV swimwear for newborns
The very small sizes are particularly susceptible to sunburn. For babies and toddlers, we therefore recommend our UV50 suits. The suits have short sleeves and legs and can be closed with a zip, making them easy to put on and take off. When babies and toddlers wear this suit, very little of their skin is exposed to the sun's UV rays, making this suit an obvious choice for babies and toddlers. If you want to be extra safe, you can combine your child's UV swimwear with our UV50 sun cap or sun hat – this way your child is particularly protected from the sun.
Which UV swimwear should you choose?
Are you unsure which UV swimwear to choose? Consider how much time your child will spend in the sun and water. The more of the body is covered by UV swimwear, the better the protection against the sun's rays. If your child plays a lot in the water or is in direct sun for a long time, a covering suit can be a good idea. However, if your child mostly stays in the shade, a bikini, swimsuit or swim shorts may be sufficient.
