Did You Get the Right Swimsuit for Kids? (Part One)

As the temperature rises, summer is coming. For children, the most fun sport is, of course, swimming without doubt!

When it comes to swimming, one has to mention the essential equipment - swimsuits. Some parents showed their hesitation and confusion when choosing the wide variety of swimsuits available. They become even worrier when reports reveal that 70% of children's swimsuits on the market were not up to standard. Swimsuits are made for kids with direct skin contact, so it needs careful attention as for selection. What kind of swimsuits should a child wear and how to choose a swimsuit suitable for the child? That is a relatively complex question concerning much important learning.
Swimsuits

About children's swimwear, you need to acquire the following knowledge:
 
1. Material

The best choice is the combination of nylon and spandex, followed by the polyester with spandex. Spandex swimsuits are characterized by bright colors, comfortable wearing, fast draining, easy to wash and to dry, especially with low resistance to movement. The content of spandex under international standard for swimsuits is preferably between 18% and 20%, which have better resilience.

2. Tensile Elasticity

The stretchy elasticity of swimsuits, to put it bluntly, feeling the swimsuit tight or not on you, is one that should be considered comprehensively. It is not suitable for swimsuits that are too tight, too loose and too oppressive. The tensile elongation and chlorinated water resistant tensile rebound rate should be under the national standard of more than 70%. A qualified swimsuit should have a good tension. Surely, the elasticity is not the greater the better, otherwise, it is the resilience that counts most, with which the swimsuit can still be returned to the original shape after multiple stretches. 
 
3. Color Fastness

Refers to the colour's resistance of textiles to fading or running during processing and use. Considering the variety of scenes in which children play in swimsuits, they will be especially used in seaside and swimming pools that use chlorinated disinfectants. Therefore, the ideal swimsuits for kids should be resistant to sweat, soaping, seawater and chlorinated water without fading.
