Did you notice your little one getting blue lips or shivering after a 30-minute swimming session? Unfortunately, kids can still get too cold in water, even in the sunny weather of Malaysia. That’s why choosing suitable swimwear matters, especially for little swimmers.
To eliminate health issues without sacrificing swim time, get a thermal swimsuit that can protect your kids from catching a cold. They’re the perfect swimwear to start their first water safety classes.
What is a Thermal Swimsuit?
Thermal swimsuits are specially designed to keep the body warm and comfortable during water activities. Generally, they feature insulating materials like neoprene, which traps a thin layer of water between the suit and the skin. This layer warms up from body heat, creating natural insulation that helps retain warmth even in cooler water.
Why Thermal Swimwear is a Suitable Choice for Your Kids
1. Chlorine Resistant
Chlorine is an essential component in pools to eliminate microorganisms and stop the development of algae growth in the water. However, excessive chlorine can cause skin irritation, itchiness, and dryness.
Without a doubt, toddlers and kids have much more delicate skin and are sensitive to chlorine than adults. Hence, it is important to protect your kid's tender skin by choosing a suitable swimwear, such as a thermal swimsuit that is chlorine-resistant.
2. Sun Protection
Direct exposure to UV rays is harmful to your skin and especially with kids. Yes, sunscreen helps, but it’s not enough. Moreover, sunscreen might harm the skin when used over an extended period. Research has shown that excessive use of sunscreens increases the risk of developing melanomas.
That’s why a thermal swimsuit with UPF 50+ is such suitable swimwear for your kids.
3. Provides Warmth
It is a very stressful experience for parents to worry about their kids catching a cold in and out of water due to wind chill or a temperature change. The suitable material for kids’ swimwear is neoprene.
Neoprene is a synthetic rubber, known for its resistance to wind chill and waterproof properties. Generally, the 2mm soft double-lined neoprene functions by trapping a thin layer of water between your body and the suit, thus creating a layer of insulation from the cold.
4. Boost Buoyancy
Neoprene thermal swimsuits are naturally buoyant. Although a thermal swimsuit doesn't act as a flotation device, it helps kids to feel:
-
Lighter in the water
-
More confident while splashing around
-
Better balanced as they learn to swim
