Best Swimwear Brands For Kids 2017
These Are the Best Swimwear Brands For Kids in 2017
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
Your kids have probably already reminded you at least 350 times of Summer's fast approach. We hope you'll get to spend some much-needed time soaking up the rays and dipping your toes into a cool body of water yourself, but your kids are going to need new swimsuits first. This year's suits are all about sun protection, bright colors, whimsical prints, and mix-and-match pieces. With all these choices, you're sure to find something you and your kids can agree on.

1 Primary Swim
For simple, no-fuss swimwear in bright, basic colors, look no further than Primary Swim. A new line for Primary, a brand which prides itself on its soft, "no logo, no slogans, no sequins" clothing, this swimwear is perfect for babies and little kids who care more about playing in the water than the characters on their suits.
Shop: The Reversible Swim Top ($13) and The Reversible Swim Bottom ($10)
2 The Salty Baby
The mompreneur behind The Salty Baby was fed up with difficult diaper changes at the beach and set out to create fun and functional swimsuits for the diaper-wearing set. She hit the nail on the head with these adorable swimsuits that have snaps between the legs for easy diaper changes. Even better, they make classy, grown-up suits so mom and baby can match.
Shop: Girls Layna One-Piece in Freebird ($25)
3 Tom & Teddy
Tom & Teddy is making sure boys and their fathers aren't getting left out of the matching swimsuit game. These colorful trunks come in beachy, tropical prints that are fun for little guys and big guys alike. Top off your look with a matching rash guard (in short or long sleeves) and you'll be stylish and safe.
Shop: Boys Shorts in Blue Waves ($60)
4 SwimZip
SwimZip is more than supercute sun protection, it's a passion. Creator Betsy Johnson was diagnosed with skin cancer at just 26 years old, and her diagnosis drove her to do something meaningful to help others avoid the same fate. Enter SwimZip, named for its zipper-front rash guards that look great on and are easy to take off. With a lineup of suits for men, women, boys, and girls (all rated UPF 50+), you can outfit the whole family in one virtual shopping trip.

5 Ruffle Butts
As if baby butts weren't cute enough, sometimes you just need a little frill. RuffleButts makes ruffled rash guards, bikinis, tankinis, and one-pieces (sizes 3 months through 8 years) in stripes, polka dots, and florals. Be sure to check out its boys line, RuggedButts, too.
Shop: Painted Flowers Stripe Rash Guard Bikini ($30)
6 Boden
British company Boden began as a men's and women's clothing outfitter, but luckily for us they added kids and babies into the mix. Boden makes cheerily printed swimsuits and cover-ups for kids from 0-16.

7 Hatley

If your little one wouldn't dare to be seen without her fanciest dress (even on the playground), then she will love The Beaufort Bonnet Company.
