Where to buy kids’ swimwear in Singapore
1. Decathlon – Affordable and accessible swimwear
Think hypermart but for sports goods. The French sporting goods brand, Decathlon, is one of the bmost affordable places to your sporting gear. They have swimsuits for children of all ages, including rash guards, swim shorts, and wet suits that come with UV protection. We tried and tested them on multiple beach holidays – no more tan or peeling skin! However, you might run the risk of accidentally twinning with others. At prices starting from $8, you can easily mix the basic selections with the printed or seasonal designs to create your own look! While you are at it, might as well grab goggles and other swimming gear.
