Girls' Swimwear, Ages 2 to 8
Swimming costumes, bikinis, rash vests and cover ups for girls aged 2 to 8 are all in this section. A swimsuit is the easy choice for swimming lessons, as it stays in place when she jumps and kicks. Bikinis suit the beach and the paddling pool. A rash vest adds a layer over either for long days by the sea, and a cover up goes on over a wet costume for the walk back to the car.
Sizes are in centimetres. Measure her height and pick the nearest size up: a 4-year-old usually takes 110 cm and a 7-year-old usually takes 128 cm. Swimwear should fit snugly when dry, as a loose costume sags once it is wet. A swimming costume and a one-piece swimsuit are the same garment. Rinse everything in cool fresh water after chlorine or salt, and check the care label before washing.

Your questions answered
MINOTI's range of swimming costumes, bikinis, rash vests and cover ups for girls aged 2 to 8 comes in centimetre sizes based on height, such as 98 cm for a 2-year-old and 122 cm for a 6-year-old.
What size swimming costume does a 5-year-old need?
A 5-year-old usually takes 116 cm. If she is between sizes, measure her height and pick the closer size, since a costume that is too big tends to sag in the water.
Should my daughter wear a rash vest over her swimming costume at the beach?
A rash vest is worth adding for long spells on the beach, as it covers more of her upper body than a costume alone. Pick the same size as her costume, for example 104 cm for a 3-year-old, and still use sun cream on uncovered skin.
