Sun protective swimwear
Comfort, style, and premium sun-safe materials come together in our sun-protective swimwear collection.
Why is sun-protective swimwear important?
Our sun-protective swimwear keeps everyone safe while enjoying summer fun in the sun. The sun's harmful UV rays can cause painful sunburns, and sun poisoning, and increase the risk of skin cancers and premature aging.
Our collection includes rash guards, one-piece sunsuits, sun hats, and swim sets that use high-quality, UPF 50+ rated fabric for maximum sun protection. The tight weave and breathable material shields sensitive skin from UV rays and keeps the body cool and comfortable during water activities.
Doctors recommend UV protection swimwear as part of a complete sun protection plan, along with shade, sunglasses, and regular sunscreen application. The right sun-protective swimwear gives you peace of mind, knowing everyone has an extra layer of protection during long summer days.
What is UPF?
Ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) is a rating system that measures a fabric's ability to block UV rays from reaching the skin. UPF ratings range from 15 to 50+, with higher numbers indicating greater protection.
Fabrics with a UPF rating of 50+ block at least 98% of UV rays, while those with a rating of 30 block about 96.7%. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends choosing clothing with a UPF rating of 30 or higher for optimal sun protection.
Our sun-protective clothing features UPF 50+ fabric, which is the highest level of UV protection. This special fabric's tight weave allows less than 2% of UV harmful radiation to pass through, significantly reducing the risk of sunburn and skin damage.
Material used for our sun protective collection
Our sun protective swimwear collection is made of the highest-rated, most comfortable UPF 50+ sun protective fabric available. This specialized fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays and gives you maximum sun protection for your skin during water sports activities and outdoor adventures.
The fabric features a 4-way stretch which allows for extra freedom of movement and ensures a comfortable fit for all body types. Our swimwear is also quick-drying and chlorine-resistant—perfect for frequent use in pools, beaches, and other water environments.
To enhance comfort, our sun protective swimwear has flat seams that help to reduce rubbing and chafing, preventing skin irritation even during extended wear.
The main fabric composition of our swimwear is a blend of nylon and spandex, which offers the perfect balance of durability, stretch, and sun protection. The lining is made of polyester, a lightweight and quick-drying material that provides additional comfort and support.

Care tips
Keep your UV swimwear in tip-top shape with these tips:
- Rinse your swimwear with cold water immediately after wearing it.
- Hand wash your swimwear using a mild detergent for delicate fabrics. Gently squeeze the suds through the suit, avoiding harsh rubbing or wringing.
- Never put your swimwear in the washing machine or dryer. The harsh agitation and heat can damage the delicate fibers and cause the suit to lose its shape.
- To dry your swimwear, lay it flat on a clean, dry towel. Gently roll the towel with the suit inside to remove excess water, then lay the suit flat to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
- At the end of the season, wash your swimwear following the hand-washing instructions, then store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid hanging them, as this can stretch out the fabric over time.
Sun-protective swimwear FAQ
How do you tan in the sun while swimming?
To tan while swimming, apply a waterproof sunscreen with a lower SPF (between 15-30) to exposed areas you want tanned. Spend limited time in the direct sun and reapply sunscreen every 2 hours or after swimming.
What color swimsuit makes you look the tannest?
Dark colors such as black, navy, and deep red tend to make tanned skin appear darker and more bronzed. These colors provide a nice contrast against suntanned skin.
What color can block out UV rays?
Light, bright colors (white, yellow, and pastels) reflect UV rays and help block them from penetrating the fabric and reaching your skin.
What is the difference between UPF and SPF?
Sun protection factor (SPF) measures protection against UVB rays that cause sunburn. Ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) measures protection against both UVB and UVA rays that contribute to premature aging and skin damage.
Check out our in-depth article comparing the differences between UPF and SPF.
How can I protect my skin from sun damage?
To protect your skin from sun damage wear protective clothing such as hats, long sleeves, and pants when possible. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 50+ liberally and reapply every 2 hours. Limit direct sun exposure during peak hours.
What is the difference between a swimsuit and a sunsuit?
The main difference between a swimsuit and a sunsuit is the level of coverage and sun protection they provide. Swimsuits are for swimming and allow for flexibility and movement in the water, while sunsuits are one-piece suits that provide full body coverage and protect the skin from the sun's UV rays.
