Boys Swimwear

Our boys' swimwear collection combines style, comfort and sun protection for young swimmers. We design and manufacture every piece in the UK, using premium UPF 50+ fabrics to help protect covered areas from harmful UV rays during water play.

From swim shorts that stay secure during underwater adventures to rash vests that move with active play, our collection supports confident swimming at every level. Add a legionnaire hat to complete the look, for extra sun coverage during beach days and outdoor swimming sessions.

What's in our boys' swimwear range?

Our collection features swim shorts, rash vests for comfortable coverage and legionnaire hats that protect the neck and ears. Each piece works on its own or as part of a coordinated swimming outfit.

Our swim shorts are available for children aged 1–12 years and feature quick-drying, lightweight, mesh-lined construction, making them perfect for pool, beach and water play activities. Rash vests suit children aged 1–7 years and combine UPF50+ sun protection with chlorine-resistant, stretchy fabric, ideal for swimming lessons and beach days. Legionnaire hats come in various sizes and provide neck and ear coverage with UPF50+ protection, designed for outdoor swimming and holidays. UV Sun and Sea Suits are available in various sizes and offer full coverage with UPF50+ protection and zip closure, perfect for beach holidays and water parks.

The range includes fun, eye-catching prints, and we're always introducing new designs. These spark excitement about swimming lessons and water play, making getting dressed for the pool something to look forward to.

All pieces coordinate with our Happy Nappy™ and Go Splash Swim Vest, so you can build the perfect swimming kit for your child's needs and abilities. Remember: swimming aids must always be used under adult supervision.

Which boys' swimwear suits each age and stage?

We design boys' swimwear to support children at every stage of their swimming journey. The right choice depends on your child's age, where they'll be swimming and whether they need leak protection or extra warmth.

For baby boys aged 0–2 years, leak protection is essential for swimming lessons and most public pools. That's why we created the original Happy Nappy™ over 20 years ago. It's now trusted by swim schools worldwide. We recommend Happy Nappy™ or Happy Nappy™ Wetsuit for leak protection, UV rash tops or UV Sun and Sea Suits for outdoor swimming, and Warm In One™ for cooler pools.

As toddler boys aged 2–4 years become more active and confident, comfort, freedom of movement and warmth become increasingly important. For this age group, we recommend swim shorts paired with rash tops for lessons, UV swimwear and legionnaire hats for holidays, and thermal swimwear for cooler pools.

For older boys aged 4+ years, swimwear choice often depends on activity, confidence and individual needs. We recommend swim shorts or jammers for lessons, rash tops and UV sets for beach days, and discreet incontinence swimwear for leak protection.

Our incontinence swimwear looks just like regular swimwear, helping children feel confident and included.

How do we approach warmth, UV protection and leak protection?

Keeping boys warm in the pool: If a child feels cold, they may tire more quickly or lose confidence in the water. That's why we offer thermal solutions designed specifically for swimming lessons:

• Warm In One™ suits

• Thermaswim and wetsuit-style swimwear

• Layering thermal swimwear over a Happy Nappy™

UV protection for outdoor swimming: We make all our UV swimwear using UPF50+ fabrics, helping protect covered areas from harmful sun rays during outdoor swimming. For maximum protection, we recommend:

• UPF50+ rash tops or UV suits

• Legionnaire hats for neck and ear coverage

• Sun cream on any exposed skin

Leak protection you can trust: We're a global leader in leak-protection swimwear. Parents trust our Happy Nappy™ systems and swim schools alike for their reliability and comfort. Options include:

• Happy Nappy™ with built-in protection

• Happy Nappy Duo™ systems

• Discreet incontinence swimwear for older boys
