As soon as the swimming season opens, the right swimwear should be hanging in your kids' closet. An absolute must-have is, of course, the swimming trunks that will perfectly accompany your son during fun hours in the water.

Depending on whether your little one prefers to splash in the sea, play on the beach, or practice balancing on a surfboard, there are different styles for every occasion.

However, a general rule applies: always pack more than one pair of swimming trunks in your beach bag! This way, your child can replace wet shorts with dry ones after swimming.

With these swimming trunks, your boy will be as fast as a fish in the water! So-called boxer briefs are short-cut and fit snugly to the body, making them the optimal partner for sporty challenges.

The fabric adapts perfectly to the figure and feels almost like a second skin, ensuring that these boys' swimming trunks definitely won't slip when swimming. At the same time, the elastic material of the shorts ensures that your little one doesn't feel restricted.

For several years now, short swim shorts with a loose fit have been very trendy for both adults and children. No wonder, because the styles are incredibly comfortable and also look simply cool! In bright colors or with colorful prints, these boys' swim shorts become an absolute eye-catcher at the pool, lake, or beach.

Especially the looks from Pepe Jeans or Polo Ralph Lauren shine in colorful designs that simply scream summer and good mood. The elastic waistband with a drawstring, which is typical for swim shorts, also provides sufficient support and ensures that the shorts fit optimally.

For the ultimate surfer look, longer-cut Bermudas are the right choice. Most of these models reach the knees and have a rather wide fit, guaranteeing your boys maximum freedom of movement and high wearing comfort.

And not just in the water! Due to the longer legs, Bermudas, combined with a casual T-shirt, are also wonderfully suitable as relaxed casual wear for everyday life.

Among the variety of boys' swimwear, your little one will surely find his dream model. When making your next purchase, pay attention to the following details, and the swim shorts will become your child's new favorite item:

• For your little one to feel comfortable in his new summer must-have, the right material is key. Tight-fitting boys' swim shorts are usually made from polyamide with an elastane content, while for loose swim shorts, a model made of polyester is the best choice. Both synthetic fibers dry quickly and barely absorb water. Models made of natural fibers, such as cotton or linen, are not recommended, as they only look good on land.
• After swimming, many people keep their swimwear on, which is not really healthy. Because as the clothes dry on the skin, the pelvic area cools down quickly – a bladder infection is pre-programmed! Therefore, it is best to choose boys' swim shorts with a water-repellent coating.
• Prints, prints, and more prints: With boys' swim shorts, your child can finally dare to be bold! Hardly any other item of clothing is enhanced as well with bright colors and patterns as boys' swimwear. Whether in a marine look or adorned with your little one's favorite animals - with modern designs, you can add an exciting accent to your kids' summer outfits.
• Sustainability is becoming increasingly important even for the youngest. Some fashion brands therefore offer absolutely cool models made from recycled polyester, fished from the oceans. This way, your offspring not only looks incredibly cool but also does something good for Mother Nature.

To ensure your kids can enjoy their swim trunks for a long time, you should follow these care tips:

• First, read the manufacturer's care instructions sewn into the swimwear. This will tell you if you can machine wash them. If so, you can machine wash the swim trunks as a delicate wash at 30°C every few weeks.
• If the boys' swimwear cannot be machine washed, you can hand wash it with mild detergent and rinse thoroughly with clear water.
• Swimwear should always be rinsed with cold water after swimming to remove chlorine and salt water, as well as sand, dirt, and sunscreen residues from the fibers.
• And what's the best way to get excess water out of swimwear? Since wringing damages the material of the swim trunks, you can simply press them with a towel.
• Before hanging the swimwear back in the closet, it should be completely dry. It is best to hang it on a line and make sure it is not exposed to the sun, as UV light can fade the beautiful colors. And the tumble dryer is also taboo for boys' swimwear!

For perfect swimming fun at the beach or lake, the right accessories are an absolute must:

• Flip-flops
• Sunglasses
• Water toys
• Beach bag
• Goggles
• Cap
