FAQs
What age is the 6-9 month size suitable for?
The 6-9 month size is generally recommended for babies within that age range, but it's crucial to check the specific weight and chest measurements against the product's size chart for the best fit, as baby sizes can vary.
Does the integrated nappy require additional protection?
The integrated reusable nappy is designed for containing solids. For added security, especially with newborns or during outings where frequent changes are difficult, you can use a disposable swim nappy liner inside.
How effective is the UPF 50+ protection?
UPF 50+ offers excellent protection, blocking over 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays. While it provides significant coverage, it's still recommended to use sunscreen on exposed areas and seek shade during peak sun hours.
Can this be used in a chlorinated pool?
Yes, the Swimi Gymi is suitable for chlorinated pools. However, it's essential to rinse it thoroughly with fresh water immediately after swimming to help preserve the fabric and its protective qualities.
Is the neoprene fabric warm enough for colder water?
The high-quality neoprene provides some insulation and warmth, making it comfortable for typical pool temperatures and cooler sea conditions. For very cold water, additional thermal layers might be considered.
How do I clean the Swimi Gymi?
Rinse in cool, fresh water after every use. Hand wash gently with mild soap if needed, and dry flat or hang out of direct sunlight. Avoid machine washing, bleach, and tumble drying.
What is the main benefit of the Swimi Gymi design?
The main benefit is the combination of an integrated reusable nappy, UPF 50+ sun protection, and quick-drying, comfortable neoprene fabric, all designed to make swimming with a baby easier and safer.
Troubleshooting
Baby seems uncomfortable
Ensure the size is correct and the adjustable features are not too tight. Check for any internal seams that might be irritating.
Minor leaks from the nappy
Make sure the reusable nappy is properly fitted and snug around the leg openings. For very young infants or those with frequent bowel movements, consider using a disposable swim nappy liner inside for added security.
Suit is slow to dry
Ensure the suit is rinsed thoroughly after use. Wring out excess water gently and hang in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat.
Discoloration of fabric
This can sometimes occur due to prolonged exposure to chlorine or sunlight. Follow care instructions carefully and rinse immediately after use.
