Teen swimsuit nightmare

19 replies

JustAnotherDayWorkingAtHome · 11/03/2022 07:52

I am trying to find a swimsuit for my teen daughter, she is being impossible....something similar to this but sadly it isn't in her size (size 8).

Nike blue swimsuit

What is it she likes about that one? The brand, colour, style etc

www.simplyswim.com/products/nike. This is available in a 30 (8 equivilent)

Have you looked at Next online? They have lots of Nike swimsuits.

Let her look herself? I think sometimes the 'being impossible' is just yanking a parent's chain!

Not Nike but similar style:

Quite nice: www.next.co.uk/style/st802876/583024#583024

Nike and blue but maybe too minimal at the back:

Nike blue, better back:

Give her a budget and let her choose something. No point getting upset over a swimsuit

balalake · 11/03/2022 16:18

@TikTokCat I agree, you are very lucky if that is the only thing she is being difficult about.

Kjr33 · 11/03/2022 19:55

It’s quite a sporty style so it might be worth looking proper swim shops and brands online (you want training suits not racing suits) look at dolphin uglies/speedo/tyr/arena etc

TeenPlusCat · 11/03/2022 19:58

Have you tried zoggs?

JustAnotherDayWorkingAtHome · 12/03/2022 08:58

Thanks all, I know it’s not a big deal in grad scheme of teen behaviour but she gets a set idea and won’t deviate from it. Those are all great suggestions hopefully one of them will meet with approval!

I actually don’t care what the swimsuit is I just want to buy one but every one I suggested isn’t the one she wants that isn’t avail in her size

Supply chain issues, my kids want a plain black costume for school lesson, don't care in brand or price. Nothing!

Ringsender2 · 12/03/2022 09:12

Look for size 10 availability also when you are browsing. The sports suits are not very 'giving' as we discovered for my (then) teeny young teen. So even if she's an 8 in normal clothes, an 8 suit might be pretty small on her

userxx · 12/03/2022 09:24

Size 8-10 is in stock.

Gladioli23 · 12/03/2022 09:27

Oh yes it's back in stock @JustAnotherDayWorkingAtHome - good spot user!

HarlowHenry · 12/03/2022 09:27

Quite a good selection in our local Tk Maxx. Worth a look if you have one that’s easy to get to.

@Gladioli23

Oh yes it's back in stock *@JustAnotherDayWorkingAtHome* - good spot user!

OldTinHat · 12/03/2022 10:24

JustAnotherDayWorkingAtHome · 12/03/2022 10:57
