Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a rash guard and a swimsuit?
Rash guards are usually sleeveless or short-sleeved tops designed to protect skin from sun and friction. Swimsuits cover more of the body. Many parents mix and match—a rash guard with swim shorts or a rash guard shirt with a swim bottom—for flexible, layered protection throughout the day.
Do I need UPF swimwear?
UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rated swimwear is a smart choice, especially for all-day swimming or kids with sensitive skin. Many EasyTot brands, like Mon Coeur and GRECH & CO., specifically highlight UPF protection. Even without UPF labels, rash guards and longer-sleeve suits offer more coverage than traditional bikinis or trunks.
How do I know if goggles will fit my child?
Goggles come in different sizes—kids' and adult versions. Good goggle fit means they sit snugly on the face without leaving marks, and they shouldn't pinch or slip. Most brands like Frogglez and Stella Cove size by age range. If you're unsure, start with adjustable models that grow with your child.
Are recycled polyester swimwear durable?
Absolutely! Recycled polyester (like the materials Mon Coeur uses) is incredibly durable and actually holds up better to chlorine and salt water than some traditional fabrics. The added benefit? You're choosing a more sustainable option without sacrificing quality.
What size should I buy for a 2-year-old?
Size 2T or 3T is typical for that age range, but kids vary. Most EasyTot brands provide detailed measurements on the product page. It's helpful to take your child's chest and waist measurements before ordering online. A slightly loose fit is okay for comfort, but avoid baggy suits that may slip during active water play.
What UPF rating should kids' swimwear have?
Look for UPF 50+ rated swimwear, which blocks 98% of UV rays. This is especially important for babies and toddlers whose skin is more sensitive to sun damage.
Should babies wear rash guards in the pool?
Yes, rash guards provide excellent sun protection and an extra layer of warmth in the water. Pair with a swim diaper for babies and a sun hat for full coverage.
How often should I replace kids' swimwear?
Replace swimwear when it shows signs of fading, stretching, or thinning, as this indicates reduced UPF protection. Chlorine and sun exposure degrade fabric over time.
