Swimwear for girls

Finding the perfect swimwear for girls is about more than just colors and patterns. It is about giving your daughter a feeling of freedom and confidence in the water, whether she is splashing in the pool on holiday or chasing personal bests in swim training. We know that fit and comfort are crucial for a good experience. If the straps rub, or the fabric loses its shape after a few trips in chlorinated water, the enjoyment quickly disappears.

That is why you will find here a carefully selected range of swimsuits for girls and swimwear for children in general, combining durable materials with designs that girls themselves love to wear. Whether you are looking for a colorful bikini for the beach or a streamlined competition suit, our selection covers every need. We carry reputable brands such as Speedo, Arena, Nike and our own popular Watery brand, so you are always guaranteed high quality. The right equipment makes the trip to the water more fun for both you and your child.

How to choose the right swimwear for the purpose

When choosing new swimwear, it is crucial to consider what it will primarily be used for. There is a big difference in support and materials depending on whether the trip is to the beach or the pool. For holiday and play, leisure swimwear from brands like Nike and Beco is often popular, as the focus here is on stylish designs and high comfort. If your daughter will use the suit for swim training, however, it places greater demands on freedom of movement and durability. Here a technical training swimsuit for girls is necessary for her to perform her best, and therefore brands like Arena and Speedo for girls are often the preferred choice among swimmers. You can see the wide selection of swimsuits for children here to find the exact model that matches your needs.

• For training and competition: Go for suits with thin straps and open back cuts (such as crossback or flyback), as this gives the shoulders free mobility. The material should be 100% chlorine-resistant to preserve the fit season after season.
• For leisure and the beach: Here you can advantageously choose models with wider straps and more covering cuts, which ensure the swimwear stays in place during wild play in the waves. Often these suits are lined for extra comfort and come in fun patterns.

Why you should consider Watery swimwear for girls

Many automatically look to the big international brands, but we would like to make a case for our own Watery swimwear. Here you get a strong alternative where you do not pay extra for an expensive logo, but for pure performance and comfort. We have created a collection of Irish-designed swimwear, developed by former elite swimmers. They know from experience exactly how the straps should be placed to avoid chafing, and how the cut should be so the suit does not slip down during play or training. It is your guarantee of cheap swimwear of good quality, where thoughtful fit and long durability go hand in hand with a sharp price.

Guide to sizes and fit

It can be a challenge to find the right size, especially because fit varies significantly from brand to brand. Many parents ask us: are Speedo small in size? The answer is often yes. Competition brands like Speedo and Arena are designed to fit very close to the body to reduce water resistance, which means they often feel smaller than regular clothing. Leisure brands are generally more age-appropriate in the cut.

To ensure the optimal fit for your girl's swimsuit, we always recommend that you check the specific size guide for children's swimwear that you find on each product. Measurements can vary from model to model, so a quick check of the guide is your best protection against wrong purchases and the hassle of returns.

How to extend the lifespan of swimwear

Chlorine and saltwater are hard on the elastics in swimwear, and incorrect handling can quickly make the fabric fragile and slack. With the right care of swimwear you can easily extend its lifespan significantly so the fit holds season after season. Follow these simple steps for correct washing of swimwear:

1. Rinse swimwear thoroughly: Always wash the suit in cold fresh water immediately after use. It removes the worst chemicals and salt that otherwise break down the fibres.
2. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying: The heat and the heavy spinning destroy the elasticity. Instead, wash gently by hand with a little mild soap.
3. Never wring the suit: Press the water out into a towel instead of wringing it, as wringing can snap the elastics. Then let the garment air dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight.
