How to Choose and Care for Children\u2019s Swimwear"},"content":{"rendered":"

School starts, and sports programs are kicking into gear. If your children have signed up for swim lessons or will be training regularly at the pool, you may be in the market for some swimsuits. Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing and caring for new swimwear for children.<\/p>\n

Fit<\/strong><\/p>\n

Make sure the swimsuit fits and is comfortable. It should be snug but not tight, and it should stay in place while your child is swimming. A baggy suit that has to be constantly pulled back into place or a too-tight suit that leaves red marks is not going to make for a fun day at the pool.<\/p>\n

Style<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most girls\u2019 training swimsuits<\/a> (i.e., swimsuits designed for the pool rather than the beach) are one-piece styles. arena offers a variety of strap and back options so you can find just the right fit and amount of coverage to make sure your girl is comfortable in and out of the water. Older, more serious swimmers can choose more open backs (the \u2018tech back\u2019 or \u2018freedom back\u2019) for maximum freedom of movement.<\/p>\n

arena\u2019s boys\u2019 training swimwear <\/a>collection includes briefs, shorts of various lengths and jammers. Briefs offer the greatest freedom of movement but the least coverage. This is primarily a matter of personal preference, but sun exposure should be considered as well if your child will be swimming in an outdoor pool. arena also offers UV-protection swimwear for both boys and girls.<\/p>\n

Cost<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kids grow like weeds, so it\u2019s natural not to want to spend more money than necessary on something they\u2019re just going to outgrow in a few months. That said, a quality swimsuit not only lasts longer but makes a difference in terms of comfort and performance in the water. To make sure you get your money\u2019s worth, choose the right fabric for the type of use the swimsuit will be seeing and follow the care instructions on the product label.<\/p>\n

Fabric<\/strong><\/p>\n

Part\u00a0of arena\u2019s swimwear for children is made from Max Fit\u00a0fabric, a nylon\/elastane blend that provides stretchy, long-lasting comfort and fit, along with excellent shape retention and sunlight and chlorine resistance. This fabric is ideal for swimwear that will be used two or less\u00a0times a week.<\/p>\n

If your children will be swimming daily and don\u2019t have multiple swimsuits to rotate, or if they\u2019re a bit older and won\u2019t be outgrowing their swimwear immediately so you want it to last a long time, consider a swimsuit made from Max Life, an innovative polyester-based fabric that is extremely resistant to chlorine, abrasions and pilling and offers excellent UV protection.<\/p>\n

Care<\/strong><\/p>\n

To make sure your children\u2019s swimsuits last as long as possible, rinse the suits in nonchlorinated water immediately after use. Do not leave wet swimsuits in a bag for a long time, and do not expose the bag containing the swimsuits to direct sunlight. When you get home, wash the suits with detergent for delicate clothes and air-dry them away from heat sources. Do not dry clean, bleach, machine dry or iron swimwear.<\/p>\n
