Swimming

Beach? Public Pool? Water Park? Lake? Sprinkler in the front yard? No matter where you play in the water, it's always fun! Check out our swimming guide and get some family fun tips, find your perfect swimsuit, and shop for your new boat! (you know you want one)

In the Beach Bag

Swimming Suits

Children's Suits

Baby 

What makes a baby even cuter? An itty-bitty swimsuit , that's what!

Toddler 

Tiny tots in tiny tankinis  and tiny trunks , adorable! (Alliteration makes everything better)

Kid/Tween/Teen 

There are so many cute styles  to choose from! I should clarify: there are so many cute styles for them to choose from! ('cause whatever you pick won't be "cool" enough, sorry.)

Women's Suits

One-Piece 

For petite figures who want to create the illusion of curves, try a cutaway suit  like the one pictured above. Who says that the one-piece swimsuit has to be dowdy? You can buy the traditional tank one-piece or a swimdress. The tank one-piece can either come with a scoop neck or v-neck.

Two-piece 

Try to mix colors for some real beach worthy appeal, like a hot pink top and black bottoms. Bikinis are one option, but you can also try a top with a skirted bottom or a tankini with short bottom. Choose whichever you find most comfortable.

Swimwear Accessories 

Being beach worthy doesn't just mean rocking that hot new swimsuit, but the right accessories to go along with it! Your outfit won't be complete without the right pair of sunglasses ,flip flops , or hat. Feel free to wear the big old beach hat, but if you wear a straw boater hat  or framer hat , you'll be even more sheik.

Women's Wetsuits 

Do you like to snorkel? How about scuba? Maybe you planned to swim with the dolphins or sting rays! Whatever the case may be, pick up a wetsuit because they'll keep you warm for extended lengths in water.

Men's Suits

Trunks 

Men don't need a whole heck of a lot guidance when it comes to swim trunks . They either fit or they don't. Don't forget you'll want a surfer savvy shirt  for hangin' out on the beach that goes with your trunks. The alternative to trunks are boardshorts .

Boardshorts 

These are ideal for the guy who likes to take a dive in the water and then wants to chill on the boardwalk later with some cheese fries. If you wanna go all G.I. Joe swim-multitasker, you can buy camo shorts . There are so many wacky  styles, some even look like murals .

Square Leg Suits 

Made popular by the likes of Daniel Craig , the newest craze in men's swimwear:swim shorts. Men tested, women approved. They're definitely the kind of swimsuit that will draw some attention. You can get them in solid colors or bright, crazy colors and stripes 

Briefs 

Feeling confident? Swim briefs will show that confidence off on the beach. Once again, you can select solid colors or something a little more daring. These are good swimsuits for sports and swimming competitions.

Water Gear

Water Skis 

Any dedicated "water recreation-er" has a pair.

Wakeboard 

Ditto.

Boats  and Jet Skis 

VRROOOOOOOOoooooooooommm!!! 'Nuff said.

Tubes 

When you catch your breath, you'll be saying "LET'S DO IT AGAIN!"

Pools & Slip 'n Slides 

Don't listen to Dane Cook, these things  are awesome!

Safety

Life Vests 

Who can be too safe, especially in the water? No one, that's who. Life vests are essential for all "water recreation-ers."

Floaties 

Look how happy that kid is! She's so excited she could just flap her little arms and fly away! Make your little swimmer happy too and buy them some safety kids floaties .

Goggles 

Protect your eyes from chlorine and other things in the water by wearing goggles .

Sun Block & Hats 

Obviously you'll need sunblock , but another way to deter UV rays is to wear a sunhat.

Beach Towels 

There's nothing better than wrapping up in a warm towel after getting out of the cold water.
