In the Swim

Beat the heat with stylish swimsuits at the pool, sur la plage, or on any city playground.

Little swimmers can frolic in I-Play’s Ultimate Swim Diaper. Available in animal prints and Hawaiian surfing patterns, the moisture-wicking diapers are made of a woven nylon fabric containing 50+ UPF, meaning no more landfill-clogging disposables for you.

Floaty swimsuits by Archimede are made with foam flotation pieces that eliminate the need for a separate life jacket. So you can (semi) relax around the pool. Bonus: Remove the floaties as your child’s swimming ability soars.

For the over 4 set, it doesn’t get more adorable than Marimekko one-pieces in the iconic Unikko flower print and tankinis in a Punapippuri pattern (Marimekko, 1262 Third Ave., b/t 72nd & 73rd Sts.; 212-628-8400). For a suit with purpose, Shoshanna for Best & Co.’s sweet gingham one-piece benefits the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.

Now that’s getting into the swim of things.
