We all need some sun exposure; it's our primary source of vitamin D, which helps us absorb calcium for stronger,
healthier bones, especially important for kids. But it doesn't take much time in the sun for most people
to get the vitamin D they need, and unprotected exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays can cause skin damage,
eye damage, immune system suppression, and even cancer. Even people in their 20s can develop skin cancer. Childrens UV Swimwear is the most important item of clothing you
can buy for the beach. Our uv swimwear has free postage. Our UV Suits are great colours. Childrens uv swimwear is now made from great fabrics with lots of fun colours and designs. Childrens uv Swimwear can have long or short sleeves.

Most children get between 50-80% of their total lifetime sun exposure before the age of 18, so it's important
that we, teach our children how to enjoy fun in the sun safely. And it's not just on holiday that
care needs to be taken of it every time your child is playing in the garden or in the schoolyard.
Those hazy summer days when it doesn't feel too hot are the worst and is when the real
damage is being done. Don't forget -- you can't see the real sun damage with the naked eye and by
the time it is visible, it's usually too late.
But is isn't just about skin damage; your child's eyes are also highly susceptible to damage from ultraviolet
rays, regardless of skin colour. Cataracts, corneal sunburn, and growths on the surface of the eye are
all thought to be related to long term sun exposure. All our floatjackets have an extra safety feature of being able to be worn with the zip at the back. The back is scooped to enable this to be reversed.Total sunblock is often the best solution but is not always possible
Despite all of these worrying facts there are some simple (common sense) steps that can be taken to ensure
your childrens' safety. These are measure based on our own personal experience and are not meant as
supplementary marketing material to our products: We are now stocking crocs style childrens shoes at bargain prices. The cheap croc shoes come in pink and royal blue.

Ultraviolet rays pass through some fabrics such as open-weave fabrics, lightweight knits, and nylon stockings. T-shirts
worn while swimming do reduce burning but still allow 50 percent of ultraviolet rays to pass through (UV
rays penetrate water but lose half their intensity). Nevertheless, burning can occur on parts of the body
submerged in the water. We recommend that your child should wear a
UV sunsuit or two piece, these are all made out of lightweight fast drying fabrics. The UV suits constructions
are woven and range from 100% Supplex nylon fibre content to a high performance polyester which utilizes
a ceramic blended polymer that absorbs UV radiation and reflects visible radiation.
Comparisons between effectiveness of fabrics are difficult since some tests measure SPF factors
or sun-burning time while others measure actual transmission of ultraviolet rays. The Supplex
nylon reportedly blocks 50% ultraviolet rays while some polyester and nylon constructions block up to
96% of UVA and UVB rays and suggest SPF ratings of 30-35. Research is likely to continue on ultraviolet
resistant fabrics.
In addition to clothing that covers the skin, remember to wear hats that provide protection.
We recommend only hats with brims of three inches or wider to shade eyes, ears, and neck. Some
styles (e.g. legionnaire) provide loose flaps or drapes to cover ears and neck.
It is important your child feels comfortable wearing his/her hat, so choose styles that allow for
air circulation and offer protection. Not all sunglasses provide the same level
of ultraviolet protection; darkened plastic or glass lenses without special UV filters just trick the eyes
into a false sense of safety. Purchase sunglasses goggles wraps with labels ensuring that they provide 100% UV protection.
Not all children enjoy wearing sunglasses, so try to encourage them by allowing them to select
a style they particularly like. Many manufacturers make fun, multicolored glass frames or frames embossed
with cartoon characters. And don't forget that kids want to be like grown-ups. If you wear sunglasses
regularly, your kids may be willing to follow yourexample.
