Time is flying…. if you haven’t noticed—it’s summertime! Summertime means grilling out, family road trips, fresh fruit, and gloriously long days where the sun doesn’t set until well in the evening. This extra light feels like a gift, especially if you’ve had a long, cold winter. To really appreciate the sun and the summer, you need to get outdoors, go to the pool, or hook up the sprinklers. Summer is almost always equated with fun in the water. For kids, this is the highlight of summer. I have not met one child who doesn’t jump up and down at the prospect of an afternoon spent by the pool or running through the sprinklers in the front yard. Even for me, memories of summertime water play are vivid and sentimental.
To get the best out of summertime water play, kids need to be outfitted in appropriate, yet totally adorable swim wear. Having a great bathing suit is key to a good summer. Bathing suits are made with special materials that are durable in the water, do not get too heavy when soaked, and dry quickly. This last point is especially important for kids who might be swimming one minute, and then climbing in a jungle gym five minutes later.
If you’re in the market for a swimsuit for your little girl, you will be presented with two major types of swimsuits: The “fashion” suit and the “sport” suit.
Fashion suits are swimsuits that are geared heavily towards looking cute, comfy, and “girly” . Often these suits feature characters, bows, bright colors, ruffles, and fun cuts. If your girl isn’t planning on romping around in heavy waves, a fashion suit might be a great choice. Don’t forget, there are a lot of options for fashion swimsuits. You can go with a one piece or a two piece— whichever makes you and your child feel the most comfortable. One character that most girls absolutely love is the iconic Hello Kitty. Hello Kitty epitomizes young girlishness. A two-piece Hello Kitty halter bikini is one example of a fashion suit any young girl might like.
If you’re buying for a girl who is more on the move, or who prefers less frills on her outdoor wear, a sport-style swimsuit might be the better choice. Sport suits are great for girls who are in swim classes, or on swim teams. They are also great when the family is visiting the beach and intends to spend a lot of time jumping in rolling seas. These swimsuits are no-frills, made to stay in place, and totally comfortable, but that doesn’t mean they have to be unattractive. There are many sport-style swimsuits to suit a variety of tastes. This Speedo one piece suit is pink, purple, blue, and white—sporty but still fun and girly. Another option is this Speedo Black One Piece Racerback. Both suits are great for active girls looking to spend their summer in the water.
A good swimsuit is a summer essential. For your child, invest in a suit that matches how they will spend their summer. P.S. Don’t forget the Sunscreen !!!
