These days, you hear more and more about UV-protective swimwear for kids. And with good reason—more and more parents are choosing it for their little ones. Children’s sensitive skin needs extra protection from daily UV radiation, and that's exactly where childrens UV swimwear comes in.
What is UV radiation?
The sun emits two different kinds of rays. One part is visible light, and the other part consists of ultraviolet rays, commonly known as UV radiation. These UV rays are invisible but extremely harmful. UV exposure can lead to sunburn, which increases the risk of developing skin cancer. There are three types of UV radiation: UVA, UVB, and UVC. Only UVA and UVB rays reach us—UVC rays are blocked by the ozone layer. Therefore the mission of Swim Essentials, our mission is to block both UVA and UVB rays as effectively as possible.
UV A radiation
UVA radiation is present year-round and is responsible for skin aging. These rays penetrate deep into the skin without you feeling it, yet they still cause long-term damage.
UV B radiation
UVB radiation is especially strong during spring and summer. It causes tanning, but also sunburns and even allergic reactions in some cases.
That's why it's crucial to protect both yourself and your child from the sun—not just with sunscreen but also with childrens UV swimwear.
Why choose UV swimwear for babies and kids?
To enjoy the sunshine safely, it’s important to be smart about sun exposure. Wearing childrens UV swimwear blocks 98% of UV radiation—both UVA and UVB. The UV-protective function of this swimwear isn’t diminished by water. On a sunny summer day, UV swimwear allows your child to play freely without compromising safety. A long-sleeved UV swimsuit, for example, protects the upper body entirely from harmful rays.
