Available in stripes, stars, shark or dinosaur print, they are machine washable and SPF50. 12 months to 12 years.</p> <p style="line-height: 20.8px;"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161119202252/http://www.boden.co.uk/en-gb/boys-1h-12yrs-swimwear/26075-dbl/boys-1h-12yrs-indigo_starfish-swim-trunks" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Buy now</strong></a></p> <p>2. <strong>Beanie and Bear Tankini:</strong> From £26 for tops, from £32 for bottoms, Beanie and Bear</p> <div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161119202252im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_medium/public/thumbnails/image/2016/06/29/15/beanie.jpg" width="564" height="426" alt="beanie.jpg" title="beanie.jpg"/></div></div></div> <p>This company was founded by children’s illustrator and mum, Noya Bewai, who has created a collection of high-quality two-piece swimwear suits in playful prints and bold colours, which can be worn as a set or in mix-and-match styles.

The elasticated waist keeps them comfy and they are true to size. We found the colours didn’t fade with washing. Three to 11 years. </p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161119202252/http://www.next.co.uk/x57730s1#394683" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Buy now</strong></a></p> <p>4. <strong>MC2 Saint Barth Girls’ Flamingo and Leaf Print Suit:</strong> £28, Chocolate Clothing </p> <div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161119202252im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_medium/public/thumbnails/image/2016/06/29/15/mc2.jpg" width="564" height="426" alt="mc2.jpg" title="mc2.jpg"/></div></div></div> <p>We love the flamboyant flamingo and leaf print, as well as the vibrant colours, unusual cut and silky feel of this pink, green and yellow swimsuit from MC2. Not for shrinking violets, it’s a real standout piece, both from the front and back. It does come up small and is hand wash only, however. Two to 12 years. </p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161119202252/https://www.chocolateclothing.co.uk/girls-c2/swimwear-c259/mc-2-saint-barth-girls-flamingo-and-leaf-print-swimsuit-with-oval-cut-out-p436" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Buy now</strong></a></p> <p>5. <strong>Frugi Sun Safe Set:</strong> £26, Frugi</p> <div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161119202252im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_medium/public/thumbnails/image/2016/06/29/15/frugi.jpg" width="564" height="423" alt="frugi.jpg" title="frugi.jpg"/></div></div></div> <p>Research shows that five or more sunburns in youth can increase their lifestyle melanoma risk by up to 80 per cent. So it’d be a wise move to cover up more of their skin with this cheery and comfy set, featuring long-sleeved rash vest and long shorts. There’s other matching swimwear, including swim hats, in the same range. Two to 10 years.</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161119202252/https://www.welovefrugi.com/kids/boys_2-10_years/view_all/sun_safe_set_stone_pirate_fish.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Buy now</strong></a> </p> <p>6. <strong>The Original Konfidence Jacket:</strong> £24.99, Konfidence</p> <div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161119202252im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_medium/public/thumbnails/image/2016/06/29/15/konfidence-jacket.jpg" width="564" height="426" alt="konfidence-jacket.jpg" title="konfidence-jacket.jpg"/></div></div></div> <p>It can be terrifying for parents to watch their little ones go into the water when they don’t yet have the confidence or skills to swim properly. This hi-vis jacket, made of soft neoprene fabric for warmth and comfort, incorporates eight float pockets around the torso, which you remove in pairs to reduce the buoyancy as they become better swimmers. This is just one of many designs. 18 months to seven years.</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161119202252/https://www.konfidence.co.uk/konfidence-jackets.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Buy now</strong></a></p> <p>7. <strong>Mothercare Aquarium Sunsafe:</strong> from £13, Mothercare</p> <div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161119202252im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_medium/public/thumbnails/image/2016/06/29/15/mothercare.jpg" width="564" height="426" alt="mothercare.jpg" title="mothercare.jpg"/></div></div></div> <p>Kids will love this all-over sea life print, while the long sleeves, legs and high neck in SPF40 fabric will do a grand job of protecting them from young skin from the sun. The zip fastening makes it easy to get on and off and it washes really well too. Three months to five years.</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161119202252/http://www.mothercare.com/Aquarium-Sunsafe/LHB785,default,pd.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Buy now</strong></a></p> <p>8. <strong>George Star Wars Swimshorts: </strong>£6, Asda</p> <div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161119202252im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_medium/public/thumbnails/image/2016/06/29/15/george-at-asda-star-wars-pr.jpg" width="564" height="426" alt="george-at-asda-star-wars-pr.jpg" title="george-at-asda-star-wars-pr.jpg"/></div></div></div> <p>We love this original take on the Star Wars design, which will be an instant hit with any young fans. The fabric is on the thin side, but that can be a good thing when you’re trying to swim fast and not let heavy material get in the way. Four to 14 years.</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161119202252/http://direct.asda.com/george/kids/swimwear/star-wars-swim-shorts/GEM472548,default,pd.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Buy now</strong></a></p> <p>9.<strong> River Island Girls’ Pink Floral Print Swimsuit:</strong> £14, River Island </p> <div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161119202252im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_medium/public/thumbnails/image/2016/06/29/15/river-island.jpg" width="564" height="426" alt="river-island.jpg" title="river-island.jpg"/></div></div></div> <p>This hippy-influenced pattern harps back to the 1960s and 1970s and will appeal to girls of all ages. The halterneck will make them feel more grown-up, while the material is 100 per cent nylon and washes like a dream, coming out of the machine almost dry and ready for re-wear. Three to 12 years. </p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161119202252/http://www.riverisland.com/girls/swimwear--beachwear/swimsuits/girls-pink-floral-print-swimsuit-816675?sem=1&cmpid=PLA&istCompanyId=28d3cba5-6749-43eb-904c-61b8cc01cf80&istItemId=xtxttqatai&istBid=tzxq&gclid=CM6GuJLNrM0CFY4V0wodUUcBuw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Buy now</strong></a></p> <p>10. <strong>Monsoon Honalulu Swimsuit:</strong> £9.60, Monsoon</p> <div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161119202252im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_medium/public/thumbnails/image/2016/06/29/15/monsoon.jpg" width="564" height="426" alt="monsoon.jpg" title="monsoon.jpg"/></div></div></div> <p>This tropical-themed costume is true to size, fits well and looks pretty, with a cut-out back with bow decoration.

Unlike other baby swimwear, you don’t need another nappy underneath and they are reusable, and machine washable at 30 degrees. The cotton feels nice and soft against baby skin and you can get sun hats to match.

The contrasting drawstring in lime green adds a splash of colour. The waistband is elasticated and our little testers told us they were very comfy.

Rash vests are a great alternative, protecting the upper body from the sun’s harmful rays. We love this high-necked, shark print one, with SPF40 fabric.
