Konfidence Kids Swimsuit/UV Sunsuit made from e-Flex™: Gelato Rose

Warmer in the water. More covered in the sun. Comfortable enough to keep wearing.

Children don’t always experience the water quite like we do.

A pool that feels fine to an adult can quickly leave a little swimmer cold, shivering and wanting to get out, particularly during swimming lessons when they’re spending lots of time listening, waiting and practising rather than constantly moving.

Then on holiday, the worry changes completely. Suddenly it’s sunburn, UV exposure and repeatedly trying to get sun cream onto a child who’s desperate to get back in the water.

That’s why we really like the Konfidence e-FLEX™ Swimsuit. It tackles both problems in one comfortable little suit.

Konfidence’s exclusive e-FLEX™ fabric helps regulate body temperature and provide warmth in cooler water, but is softer, lighter and stretchier than traditional neoprene. So little swimmers get that extra warmth without feeling as though they’re swimming in a stiff wetsuit.

And when the sun comes out, the suit provides 50+ UV protection across the areas it covers, giving arms, shoulders and the body extra protection and leaving less exposed skin to worry about.

Swimming lessons in winter or beach days in summer- it’s designed to make being in and around the water that bit more comfortable.

Why we like it

🌡️ Extra warmth for little swimmers
The e-FLEX™ material helps regulate temperature and keep children warmer in cooler water — particularly useful for swimming lessons, outdoor pools and children who seem to feel the cold before everyone else.

☀️ 50+ UV protection on covered areas
Extra coverage helps protect more of their skin from the sun on holidays and long beach or pool days. You’ll still need appropriate sun protection on exposed skin, but there’s considerably less of them left to chase with the sun cream.

🌟 Softer than traditional neoprene
This is important to us. Warmth isn’t much use if a child hates wearing the thing providing it. e-FLEX™ is designed to be soft, lightweight and stretchy, with a plush lining that’s gentle against delicate skin.

🏊 Plenty of freedom to actually swim
The stretchy material moves with them, making it suitable for swimming lessons as well as paddling, splashing and playing.

💧 Quick drying
Useful when the same suit is coming backwards and forwards to regular swimming lessons — and equally handy when you’re trying to dry everyone’s swimming kit on holiday.

👕 One easy all-in-one suit
No separate rash vest and bottoms to keep track of. The three-quarter back zip also helps make getting in and out of it quicker and easier.

♻️ Made using recycled materials
e-FLEX™ incorporates recycled plastics, combining the practical benefits of the fabric with a more considered use of materials.

🌸 Gelato Rose
A lovely bright design that looks like proper fun swimwear rather than something children are wearing purely because Mum or Dad says it’s practical.

Our favourite feature

It solves a different problem depending on where you’re swimming.

At swimming lessons or in cooler water, it’s that extra layer of soft, comfortable warmth that can help a child stay happier in the pool for longer.

On a sunny holiday, it’s the reassurance of having more skin covered with 50+ UV protection, meaning less exposed skin to keep worrying about and repeatedly covering with sun cream.

And because it’s soft and stretchy rather than stiff like traditional neoprene, they can still swim, play and move comfortably.

Less shivering in the cold. Less sun worry in the heat. More time enjoying the water.
