When it comes to kids’ swimwear, safety and style go hand in hand. At Little Jellies, we know parents want their children to shine at the beach while staying protected. Here are five essential tips for picking sun-safe swimwear that keeps your little ones safe and stylish.

1. Prioritise UPF50+ Protection

Sun safety is non-negotiable. Look for swimwear with UPF50+ ratings, like Little Jellies’ rashies and surfsuits, which help block harmful UV rays. This ensures your kids can splash around worry-free under the scorching sun. 

2. Choose Bright, Visible Colours

As a former lifeguard, I can’t stress enough the importance of visibility in water. Neon and vibrant colours, like those in Little Jellies’ collections, make it easier to spot your child in busy pools or open water, enhancing safety.

3. Opt for Durable, Comfortable Fabrics

Kids are active, so their swimwear needs to keep up. Choose high-quality, stretchy materials that withstand chlorine and sand. Little Jellies’ swimwear is designed for durability, ensuring comfort during all-day beach adventures.

4. Consider Full-Coverage Designs

Knee-length surfsuits and long-sleeve rashies offer maximum sun protection. Little Jellies’ designs cover more skin without sacrificing style, perfect for active kids who love to explore.

5. Look for Fun, Mix-and-Match Options

Kids love expressing themselves! Mix-and-match swimwear separates, like Little Jellies’ briefs, jammers, and rashies, let your child create their own look while staying sun-safe. Fun patterns spark joy and encourage water play.
