Children’s UV sunsuits are designed to give extra sun protection during time spent in and around the water, helping to reduce UV exposure on sensitive young skin. Often also known as UV swimwear, rash suits or sun protection suits, they are a practical choice for beach days, swimming lessons and holidays where children are outside for long periods.
Made from lightweight, quick-drying fabrics with built-in UPF protection, these suits cover more of the body than standard swimwear, typically protecting the torso, shoulders and upper legs. Many styles also include long sleeves for additional coverage, making them especially useful in strong sun or on full days at the beach. The fabric is designed to stay comfortable in and out of the water, so children can move freely without feeling restricted or overheated.
Parents often choose UV sunsuits because they help reduce how much sunscreen needs to be applied, while still supporting sun safety when combined with it. They’re particularly popular for toddlers and younger children, where frequent reapplication of sun cream can be difficult and coverage matters most.
Within the Ocean Sports Board Riders range, children’s UV sunsuits are designed for real family use—whether that’s swimming, paddling, surfing holidays or simply playing by the water. They stay in place during active movement, dry quickly, and are made to handle repeated days in sun, salt and chlorine.
From short sleeve styles for warmer days to full coverage options for stronger sun, UV sunsuits offer a simple way to keep children comfortable and better protected while they enjoy being outdoors.
