Kids Swim Styles for End of Summer Fun

Make the Last Sunny Days Unforgettable

Summer always seems to fly by in the blink of an eye. One minute you’re packing lunches for camp, the next you’re staring down the school supply aisle wondering where the season went. But before the backpacks and sharpened pencils take over, there’s still time to soak up every ounce of sunshine and make those final pool days count.

Whether your family’s summer tradition involves lazy afternoons at the neighborhood pool or weekend trips to the beach, one thing’s certain: the right kids swimwear can turn any splash session into a stylish memory. Appaman’s vibrant collection of UPF 50+ swimwear blends fashion with function, so kids can stay protected while rocking prints that scream “summer isn’t over yet!”

Sun-Safe and Stylish

The August sun might feel a little friendlier than June’s blazing heat, but protecting delicate skin is always a must. That’s where Appaman’s UPF 50+ swimwear steps in. Designed with sun safety top of mind, these pieces block 98% of harmful rays while still delivering on style.

For the girls, rash guard sets and two piece swim options bring a mix of playful prints and practical coverage. For the boys, swim trunks and swim shirts come in bold patterns that stand out whether they’re diving off the board or lounging on a towel.

And if you’re shopping for the littlest water lovers, don’t forget toddler swimwear and toddler rash guard styles that are just as durable and sun‑smart.

Mix, Match & Layer

Late summer weather can be unpredictable—sunny one moment, breezy the next—so layering is key. The best part? Swim styles that mix and match with kids summer clothes transition seamlessly from poolside to picnic.

Pair boys swim trunks with a boys terry shirt for an effortlessly cool poolside look.
For girls, lightweight kids cover ups and a breezy girls terry dress add sun protection while keeping the style factor high.
A terry cloth resort shirt thrown over kids swimsuits instantly levels up any kids pool day outfit, perfect for pool parties or beachside dinners.
Don’t forget a kids sun hat to top it all off for UV protection (and cute photos!).

From Pool to Playground – Summer to Fall Transition

As the calendar flips to September, those swim pieces don’t need to be packed away just yet. With the right layering, they can pull double duty as early fall essentials.

Terry resort shirts make perfect lightweight layers over kids swimsuits or boys swim shorts, keeping kids cozy when the breeze kicks in.
Pair girls cover ups with a graphic tee or tank top for a sporty, laid‑back vibe post‑pool.
Rash guards also make excellent base layers under kids lightweight jackets on chilly evenings, giving swim gear a second life beyond the water.
Mix boys summer clothes like trunks with tees for quick playground-ready looks, or pair girls summer clothes with leggings for a transitional kids summer outfit.

Wrap Up Those Summer Memories

Summer doesn’t last forever, but the memories you make in those last sunny days will stick around long after the pool closes. Dressing kids in fun, functional kids summer fashion not only protects them but also lets their personalities shine as they splash, play, and savor every minute.

So grab the end of summer clothes they’ll live in for the next few weeks—whether it’s boys swim trunks, girls rash guards, or the perfect kids pool day outfit—and make this August one for the books.
