On Monday, I put a poll on my Instagram asking people which bathing suit I bought my 2.5 year old. There were thousands of replies, and over 80% guessed correctly! Woohoo! The big two things I look for when picking swim wear is:
1. WATER VISIBILITY: neon colors, especially pinks, reds, and oranges are much more visible in water than blues, purples, greens, and whites.
2. SUN PROTECTION: I always go long sleeve for my kiddos and encourage families to do the same. Your child will still need coverage or sunscreen (preferably both) to places not covered: face, ears, neck, hands, etc.
