I need to find some swim wear for my daughter for an upcoming holiday.
My requirements:
age 8-9
tight shorts/jammers
top that covers shoulders
visible colour eg no blue

I don't mind if it's a 1 piece, 2 piece or 3 piece set. Not even too bothered about cost.
Just finding it impossible to find something that fits the bill! Help please?

How about a rash vest and shorts from mountain warehouse. Lots of colours available.

Lots on the Next website! Just some examples:

I did have a look at Mountain Warehouse but they seemed to be mainly sets with baggy/board shorts.

Thanks, these are lovely but I'm looking for slightly longer shorts. More active/jammer style but bright colours!

John lewis or Boden?

What about actually going for jammers and then add rashvest?

Funky do bright coloured ones, and many Funkita swimsuits in same patterns if wanted to do swimsuit/jammer combo. Not cheap though

I'd get them separately then, as it's not quite the right time to buy them in the UK. A rash vest and then the shorts.

John Lewis sunpro suits?

Loveduppenguin · 01/03/2025 21:22

What are jammers?

Hercisback1 · 01/03/2025 21:22

Get them separately. You rarely see them sold together in the UK even in the height of summer.

My daughter used to wear her brothers old adidas jammers and a matching white swim t shirt. She liked the adidas shorts and the t shirt gave her protection and comfort. I guess it depends what style she likes?

Longer ones on Next website too

I had a similar issue recently when trying to find something practical but still bright enough for a beach holiday. The usual shops often stick to blues and blacks, which isn’t always what you want.

One brand I came across that solved the problem was LEYLA MAYA. They focus on stylish yet age-appropriate swimwear and have sets with shoulder-covering tops and fitted shorts that don’t ride up, available in bold, visible colours that really stand out by the pool. You can visit here: https://leylamaya.co.uk/ to check the range.

It might save you the hassle of piecing together items from different places, as they’ve got co-ordinated sets that tick most of the boxes you mentioned.
