Swimwear for Older Girls, 8 to 15
Older girls' swimwear needs to keep up with swimming club, school lessons and a fortnight at the beach, and the range covers all of it for ages 8 to 15. There are swimsuits, bikinis, rash vests and cover ups, each with its own page as well. Girls this age usually want a say in the style, so it helps to see everything side by side.
Teenage girls' swimwear should fit snugly when dry, as the fabric relaxes in water. For girls' swimwear at age 9 the usual size is 140 cm, at age 10 it is 146 cm and at age 11 it is 152 cm. A swimsuit is what schools usually call a swimming costume, and it is the normal choice for lessons. Rinse everything in cold water after the pool.

What swimwear is best for a 13-year-old at swimming club?
A one-piece swimsuit is best, as it stays put through lengths and dives better than a bikini. At 13 she usually takes 164 cm, and club swimmers often choose the snugger of two sizes.
How do I stop suncream staining girls' swimwear?
Put suncream on 15 to 20 minutes before she changes, so it soaks in first. Rinse the swimwear in cold water the same day, as suncream and chlorine left overnight can leave yellow stains.
