Splash About is synonymous with keeping babies and young children safe in the water.  From its flagship swim school approved Happy Nappy swim nappies to its award winning learn to swim adjustable floatation suits and jackets as well as its extensive range of sensory water toys.

Swimming has multiple benefits for infants from helping with physical, cognitive and social development to boosting confidence and increased bonding. However young babies can feel cold quickly in the pool because they are not as active in water. 

Swimming regularly in chilly leisure pools at home or even on holiday means a wetsuit is a sensible investment.

New to Splash About’s collection are the Thermaswim baby and toddler wetsuits.  These unisex full coverage wetsuits are super soft, stretchy and fleece lined. Designed to prevent drag in the water while the ribbed cuffs and legs promote additional warmth – and the full-length zip ensures hassle-free changing!

The Thermaswim range has been designed to provide maximum warmth and maximum value; Thermaswim can double up as a cosy base layer under regular clothing on winter days when extra warmth is needed.

“As temperatures dip outside, taking your child swimming in a chilly leisure pool can lose its appeal but with our collection of wetsuits there’s no reason to forego a swimming trip this winter. There’s a design and a price point to suit all pockets!” said Samantha Williams, Joint Managing Director at Splash About.

Samantha added, “There’s no excuse for parents to avoid chilly pools too, as our Thermaswim range extends to adult tops and shorts, available in sizes from extra small to XXL from £15 – £22!”

Innovation is at the heart of Splash About’s swimwear, and its existing wetsuit range is no exception:

• The BabyWrap mini wetsuit maintains core warmth but uniquely, it opens flat to facilitate dressing a wriggling tot, while the Velcro fastening means it can be adjusted to accommodate growing babies.
• The Happy Nappy Wetsuit is a practical starter wetsuit, with an integrated Happy Nappy swim nappy – approved by UK swim schools with snug, specialist fabric leg ribbing it’s designed to contain any unwelcome accidents long enough for parents to exit the pool for the changing room!
• The fleece-lined Warm-in-One is a full body wetsuit to keep little ones toasty in super chilly pools. Ideal for infants with sensitive skin or eczema as the wetsuit lining keeps barrier creams in place making swimming inclusive for all.
• For young children the innovative UV Sea & Sun wetsuit is a unique combination of 1mm neoprene body with flexible stretchy side panels – super comfortable and warm for winter swimming at the pool or a summer staycation. The Shorty wetsuit is made from robust 2mm neoprene with a chunky front zip, perfect for independent kids who like to dress themselves.
