Girls' Rash Vests for Ages 2 to 8
These rash vests are for girls aged 2 to 8, from the first seaside holiday through to weekly swimming lessons. A rash vest is a close-fitting stretch top worn in the water, on its own with swim bottoms or over a swimming costume. It covers the shoulders and arms, and it stops sand or a bodyboard rubbing her skin. Swim bottoms and costumes to go with it are in the wider Swimwear collection.
Sizes go by height in centimetres, so buy her usual size rather than sizing up. A rash vest should sit close to the body, because a loose one fills with water and rides up. A 4-year-old usually takes 110 cm and a 7-year-old usually takes 128 cm. In the UK it is called a rash vest, and some shops call it a rash guard or swim shirt. Rinse it in fresh water after the pool or the sea, and check the care label before washing.

MINOTI's girls' rash vests are close-fitting stretch swim tops for the pool and the beach, made for girls aged 2 to 8, sized by height in centimetres, and a 6-year-old usually takes 122 cm.
Which rash vest size fits a girl starting Reception?
Children start Reception at 4, and a 4-year-old usually takes 110 cm. Go by her height if she is tall or small for her age, and keep the fit snug, because a rash vest that is too big lets water in and rides up.
Should my daughter wear a swimming costume under her rash vest?
Either way works: a rash vest can go over a swimming costume or be worn with swim bottoms on their own. If she is 2 and still in a swim nappy, put the swim nappy on first, then the bottoms, with the rash vest on top.
