The Best Nike Swimsuits for Kids

For a classic, functional swimsuit for kids to wear all summer, opt for the Nike Essential One-Piece Swimsuit. The racerback design and standard bottom coverage make for a worry-free fit — kids will stay comfortable in this suit during all kinds of water activities.

This sporty two piece has an asymmetrical top and high-rise bottom, both featuring a playful design, bright colors and a dot print. The crossback top offers comfort and mobility, which makes it a good fit for swim lessons, surf lessons or other water activities for young athletes.

With an ergonomic fit and snug crossback straps on top, this suit is a great pick for active kids. The midkini (a style that falls between a bikini and tankini) has a mid-length top and matching bikini bottoms. This suit comes in a variety of colors, all with a bold-script logo on the front.

For kids who love ripping it up on a boogie board or surfboard, the Nike Short-Sleeve Zip Legsuit is the way to go. Because of the coverage and snug fit, a legsuit is a practical style for active water sports. Plus, it provides added skin coverage for better sun protection (just be sure to apply sunscreen to any exposed skin).

For additional sun protection, consider adding a swim shirt to the mix. This hydroguard shirt offers an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of 40+ and Nike Dri-FIT technology that wicks sweat and moisture away from the skin to keep the body cool and dry.

For upper-body protection against ultraviolet rays, the Nike Heather Hydroguard Swim Shirt features long sleeves and provides coverage in and out of the water. The shirt is made with sweat-wicking materials to help keep the body dry and cool during active days in the sunshine.

These swim trunks have fun, colorful prints. They provide a secure and tailored fit with a stretch waistband, adjustable internal drawcord and built-in mesh brief. There’s even a pocket in the back that’s made of mesh so that items stored there can easily drain. The 8-inch inseam hits right above the knee.

If the kid in your life prefers shorter sleeves, go for this half-sleeve hydroguard with UPF 40+ fabric. This top features internal neck tape to help prevent chafing while swimming or playing, and the soft Nike Dri-FIT fabric wicks moisture away from the skin for quick drying.
