When it comes to kids’ swimwear, finding the perfect balance of safety, comfort, and style is key. At Little Jellies, our knee-length surfsuits are designed to keep active kids safe and vibrant in the water, whether they’re splashing at the beach or diving into swim lessons. Unlike full-length suits or minimal swimwear, knee-length surfsuits offer the ideal mix of sun protection, mobility, and bold design. Here’s why they’re the ultimate choice for your little water warriors.

The Benefits of Knee-Length Surfsuits

Knee-length surfsuits strike a sweet spot for active kids. They provide more coverage than standard swimsuits but less restriction than full-length designs, making them perfect for sun-soaked beaches and pools. Designed by a former swimming teacher, Little Jellies’ surfsuits combine practicality with vibrant, neon-bright aesthetics that kids love and parents trust.

1. Optimal Sun Protection

Knee-length surfsuits offer UPF50+ protection. They cover the torso, upper thighs, and shoulders—while leaving lower legs free for easy movement.

2. Unmatched Mobility for Active Play

Kids move at 100 miles an hour or they’re asleep—there’s no in-between! Knee-length surfsuits allow free range of motion for swimming, running, and jumping without the bulk of full-length suits, which can feel restrictive or cause tripping.

3. High-Visibility Colours for Safety

Little Jellies’ surfsuits come in bright hues like green, hot pink, and  yellow, ensuring kids are easy to spot in crowded pools or busy beaches. Unlike beige or dark swimwear, our neon designs enhance safety.

4. Comfort and Durability

Made from high-quality, chlorine-resistant materials, our knee-length surfsuits are soft yet tough, standing up to rough play and frequent washes. The knee-length cut reduces drag in water, making them ideal for active kids.

5. Stylish and Fun Patterns

Bucking the beige trend, Little Jellies’ surfsuits feature eye-catching patterns like zigzags, checks and swirls. These designs let kids express their personality while staying sun-safe.

Why Not Full-Length or Shorter Swimwear?

• Full-Length Suits: While they offer more coverage, they can restrict movement, overheat kids on hot days, and be harder to put on or take off. Knee-length surfsuits provide ample protection without these drawbacks.

• Shorter Swimwear: Briefs or bikinis leave more skin exposed to UV rays and offer less protection during active play. Knee-length surfsuits balance coverage and comfort.

Why Parents Choose Little Jellies

Founded by a former swimming teacher and competitive swimmer, Little Jellies priorities safety and style. Our knee-length surfsuits are crafted with:

• UPF50+ Fabric: Maximum sun protection for worry-free play.

• Neon Colours and Patterns: From neon yellow to purple and pinks, ensuring visibility and fun.

• Practical Design: Easy to wear, move in, and care for, perfect for active kids aged 6 months to 6 years.

How to Style Knee-Length Surfsuits

• Beach Day: Pair with a brimmed hat and SPF 50+ sunscreen for full protection.

• Travel Ready: Pack a ziggy or sassy surfsuit for winter getaways to sunny destinations like Europe or Bali.
