All children from 0-18 months need a reusable or disposable swim nappy

Swim nappies are an essential piece of swimwear and any child who isn’t potty-trained will need to wear one in a swimming pool. They are enforced as part of the double-layer nappy system requirement by most organised baby swimming lessons. 

There are two types of swim nappies available:

• Disposable swim nappies

  • Worn once and thrown away

  • Look like regular nappies but don’t swell up in water

  • Are not very effective at preventing faeces from entering the pool

• Reusable swim nappies

  • Can be washed and worn multiple times

  • Look like a pair of swimming shorts or are integrated into swimwear such as Happy Nappy Costumes or Happy Nappy Wetsuit

  • The Happy Nappy provides excellent protection from faecal leaks and is mandatory in 99% of swim schools.

  • Reusable swim nappies have many advantages over disposable swim nappies. You can read more about the benefits of reusable swim nappies here

The Happy Nappy from Splash About is a reusable swim nappy with thick, soft cuffs that create a seal around your baby’s thighs and tummy to prevent any faeces from escaping. The unique design features a gusset to allow for a full range of movement, without the risk of leaks. 

The Happy Nappy Duo offers the same reliable leak protection as the Happy Nappy, with the added benefit of a silver lined layer that acts as a 2nd nappy, insisted upon by swim schools. This silver lining  kills germs before they leave the nappy, protecting your baby and other swimmers from pathogens leaking into the pool. Both the Happy Nappy and the Happy Nappy Duo are accepted and endorsed by UK Swim Schools. 

You can view the Happy Nappy range here.
