Boys' Swim Cover-Ups, Ages 2 to 8
Boys' cover-ups for ages 2 to 8 pull on over swim shorts once he is out of the water. A cover-up is the easy layer for the walk from the pool to the car, lunch at a seaside cafe or a sit-down on the sand between swims. They sit in the Swimwear section next to swim shorts, so you can pick both in the same size.
Pick the same size he wears in everyday clothes: a 4-year-old usually takes 110 cm and a 6-year-old 122 cm. A cover-up goes on over wet swimwear, so if he is between sizes, go up. Fabric and care differ by style, so check the product page and the care label. Rinse out salt water and pool chlorine before it goes in the wash. For boys aged 9 and over, see Teens.

Yes, a cover-up pulls on over a swim nappy as easily as over swim shorts. A 2-year-old usually takes 98 cm. For younger babies, see the Baby cover-ups, which start at newborn sizes.
