FAQs
What age group is the Swimi Gymi suitable for?
This specific model is for infants sized 3-5 UK. Orby Swim offers other sizes for different age groups.
Is this a flotation device?
No, the Swimi Gymi is a swim nappy and protective suit; it is not designed to provide buoyancy or act as a life-saving device.
How does the integrated nappy work?
The reusable nappy is built into the suit and designed to contain solid waste. For hygiene and effectiveness, it should fit snugly.
Can I machine wash the Swimi Gymi?
It is recommended to hand wash the Swimi Gymi gently with mild soap. Machine washing and tumble drying can damage the fabric and reduce its lifespan.
How effective is the UPF 50+ protection?
UPF 50+ offers excellent protection, blocking over 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays when the fabric is worn correctly.
Does the neoprene fabric keep the baby warm?
Neoprene provides a layer of insulation, helping to keep babies slightly warmer in the water compared to standard swimwear. However, it is not a wetsuit designed for significant warmth.
What is the benefit of the specially selected colours?
The colours are chosen with infant development in mind, aiming to provide a calming or stimulating visual experience for the baby during swim time.
Troubleshooting
Suit feels tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing guide. Neoprene will stretch slightly but should not be overly tight.
Leakage from the integrated nappy
Ensure the nappy is snug around the legs and waist. For very young babies, consider using an additional disposable or reusable nappy underneath if recommended by swim school.
Fabric feels stiff after drying
Ensure the suit was rinsed thoroughly after swimming. Avoid harsh detergents and direct sunlight during drying. Gentle hand washing can help restore flexibility.
UPF protection seems reduced
Inspect the fabric for any signs of wear or thinning. Proper care, as outlined, helps maintain the fabric's protective qualities.
