Summer holidays are coming, and so are swimming lessons and staycations. There's something rather lovely about the whole family matching at the pool, isn't there? Fancy joining in this year? We've picked our top 10 matching family swimwear sets because they suit the British summer: warm pool days and breezy coasts, with the odd rainy day thrown in. We've been dressing families for their swimming journey since 2005, and we still love seeing your matching moments as much as you do. Read more about our story on our About Us page.
What Are the Best Family Matching Swimwear Sets to Shop This Season?
Before you pick a set, have a little think about how you'll use it. A few quick checks help:
- Will it still fit everyone by the end of the season?
- Does a baby in the family need extra nappy protection?
- Are you swimming somewhere warm, or somewhere a bit nippier?
- Do you want an exact match, or just coordinating colours?
1. Ladies Swimming Costume & Girls Swimming Costume Bundle
Want a classic look for mum and daughter? The Ladies Swimming Costume & Girls Swimming Costume Bundle pairs a flattering, tummy control ladies' costume with a matching girls' swimsuit in shades like Jungle Lime and Strawberry Field. We love how it turns an ordinary swim into a little occasion. Pick a print you'll both want to wear again, so it works for swim lessons and beach days alike. And check the sizing charts separately, because children's and women's sizes don't follow the same scale.
2. Mens Shorts & Girls Swimming Costume Bundle
Dads can match with their daughters too, and it's always a lovely thing to spot poolside. The Mens Shorts & Girls Swimming Costume Bundle gives dad simple, lightweight swim shorts alongside a coordinating girls' costume in shades like Plum and Forest Green. These neutral tones photograph well and suit more than one season. Rinse both items in fresh water after every swim. It keeps the colour and the fabric in shape for longer.
3. Ladies Swimming Costume & Boy Shorts Bundle
Want an easy option for mums and sons? The Ladies Swimming Costume & Boy Shorts Bundle includes a supportive women's costume with tummy control, plus lightweight, sports style swim shorts for boys in Navy or Black. If your son's between sizes, size up in the shorts. Boys grow fast, and looser shorts give them more room to move in the water.
4. Mens Shorts & Boys Shorts Bundle
Matching shorts make it easy to coordinate the men in the family, no fuss involved, and it's a nice one to see dad and son twinning too. The Mens Shorts & Boys Shorts Bundle gives them the same lightweight fit in a few coordinating shades. Planning lots of pool games? Go for Black. It hides suncream and pool chemical marks better than lighter shades do.
5. Thermaswim Top & Jammer Shorts with Baby/Toddler Thermaswim Bundle
Heading somewhere with cooler water? We know British summers can be unpredictable. The Thermaswim Top & Jammer Shorts with Baby/Toddler Thermaswim Bundle brings the whole family into matching, fleece lined thermal swimwear in black, ideal for chillier UK beaches or unheated holiday pools, and just as handy for an early season swim. But if the weather turns nippier still, layer the Thermaswim pieces under your regular swimwear for extra warmth.
6. Ladies Swimming Costume & Happy Nappy Bundle
Got a baby who still needs extra protection in the pool? We think that's something worth celebrating, not hiding away. The Ladies Swimming Costume & Happy Nappy Bundle combines a flattering ladies' costume, available in shades like Plum and Forest Green, with our Happy Nappy™, the swim nappy most UK swim schools insist on. It's an easy way for mum to match with the smallest member of the family. Use the Happy Nappy™ size guide and measure your baby's waist and thigh before you buy, and size up as they grow rather than waiting until it feels tight.
7. Mens Shorts & Happy Nappy Bundle
Dads can match with the baby too, and those first swims together are ones you'll want to remember. The Mens Shorts & Happy Nappy Bundle pairs simple, comfortable swim shorts with the Happy Nappy™, in shades like Plum and Forest Green. It's a lovely choice for a first family swim. Just remember, an adult needs to stay within arm's reach and keep watching throughout the swim.
8. Mummy & Me Swimming Essentials
Don't want to choose piece by piece? We don't blame you. The Mummy & Me Swimming Essentials bundle does the matching for you, bringing together everything a mum and baby need for those first special swimming sessions together. So pack a spare Happy Nappy™ liner in your changing bag. You'll never get caught out between sessions.
9. Daddy & Me Swimming Essentials
This is the dad and baby version, and it's just as sweet. The Daddy & Me Swimming Essentials bundle brings together everything dad needs for those first special swimming sessions with his little one, in coordinating shades like Plum and Forest Green. Choose a darker shade if you'll be swimming often. It shows less wear over time.
10. Baby Wrap™ Wetsuit, Happy Nappy™ & Changing Mat Bundle
Do you need a full baby swim kit in one go? We think every new parent deserves one less thing to think about. The Baby Wrap™ Wetsuit, Happy Nappy™ & Changing Mat Bundle brings together our soft neoprene Baby Wrap wetsuit, the Happy Nappy™ and a changing mat made from antibacterial neoprene that stays put on wet tiles. The Baby Wrap opens flat with Velcro style straps, so dressing a wriggly baby is quick. It's a handy addition to the family swim bag. It keeps your baby warm and protected, and the rest of the family can wear their own matching pieces alongside.
