He might wear one today since it will be 88 today in NY! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555985 Wed, 25 May 2016 08:29:10 +0000 snowjewelz 2555985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got one piece short sleeve rash guard w/ zipper from ON. She also has a couple random hand me downs that are 1 or 2 pieces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555980 Wed, 25 May 2016 08:27:03 +0000 peachykeen 2555980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to the beach in September last year which inspired me to buy a size up from clearance last summer. We just went through the suits and had her try them on and I am SO happy to have that already taken care of! Actually, she fits in most of her 18 month swim stuff from last year and the 2T stuff I bought for this year, so we will have a lot to choose from. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555963 Wed, 25 May 2016 07:41:29 +0000 twodoghouse 2555963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: @mrs.shinerbock: The dinosaur print is my favorite! DD has the one piece suit but I bought a size up and I think I'll have to save it for next year unless she grows a ton by the end of summer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555939 Wed, 25 May 2016 06:36:25 +0000 ShootingStar 2555939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We already have swim stuff because I'm pretty sure everything from last year still fits. We bought on the big side last year, and it still fit fine in February for swim classes and vacation. Boys are easy though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555931 Wed, 25 May 2016 06:24:59 +0000 erinbaderin 2555931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, we do swim classes so we need it year round. My 2.5 year old is super skinny so he's wearing the 6-12 month trunks that I got him for two summers ago. I got him s long sleeved rash guard for this summer. I also got a full one piece suit for Baby2 for the beach this summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555929 Wed, 25 May 2016 06:00:56 +0000 Adira 2555929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep - we gave them swim wear for Easter!</p> <p>I mean... the Easter Bunny gave them swim wear... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555926 Wed, 25 May 2016 05:58:51 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2555926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought 2 new swimsuits, one with a rash guard from Marks &amp; Spencer. I expected it to run small, like all of the other swimsuits I've bought her, regardless of brand. It didn't run small. </p> <p>Now I'm wondering if I should buy new swimwear or just use the old swimsuits my mom had sent her last year (she may still be able to squeeze into them since they were big then). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555919 Wed, 25 May 2016 04:41:24 +0000 lamariniere 2555919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This year I got both of them swimwear from HA. Long sleeve rash guards for each of them and trunks for DS and a skort for DD. They always wear rash guards unless it is late in the day or early morning. Last year I got DD's swim outfit from the boy section in a sporting goods store because it had a rash guard and long shorts. I'm pretty paranoid about sun exposure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555896 Tue, 24 May 2016 23:10:43 +0000 rattles 2555896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.shinerbock: I got her the one piece in a size up (4/5) in March. I was on the fence about which size (reviews said it ran small), but they sold out of the smaller and it was on sale, so I just went for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555895 Tue, 24 May 2016 23:08:08 +0000 MamaCate 2555895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are in full summer mode here already--our community pool has been heated for over a month and we recently took a beach vacation. We have a lot of swim gear:</p> <p>DD (4.5 yrs): 2 l/s rash guard/bikini bottoms (one carters one old navy), 1 s/s rash guard/bikini bottom from Gymboree, and 2 one pieces (carters and ross)</p> <p>DS (10 mos): two l/s rash guard and trunk sets (Gymboree and target)</p> <p>In my defense only one of DD's suits are new! Two still fit from last year and two were end of season clearance at carters for a steal! Plus she swims daily in her summer program at preschool so 5 suits means not having to do laundry during the week if I can't swing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555893 Tue, 24 May 2016 22:58:32 +0000 youboots 2555893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I got some stuff on clearance from Gymboree last year. Also a HA rashguard from a BST group, as well as a hand me down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555892 Tue, 24 May 2016 22:57:55 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2555892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! DD has one tankini set from target, and a rashguard from the target marimekko collection. DS has his rashguard and board shorts from last year that he can fit into but is outgrowing, and a new one for this year that is still a little loose on him. Both are from babygap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555891 Tue, 24 May 2016 22:57:11 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2555891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickle: @Foodnerd81: LO1 never pooped in her swim diaper. I'm sure I'll have to pay double for that with LO2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555890 Tue, 24 May 2016 22:54:49 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2555890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it's well into the 90s here and we were at the beach last weekend. LO1 has a long sleeve rash guard set from Target and another one-piece from Target that I haven't taken the tags off of yet. LO2 has a one-piece 3/4 sleeve rash guard that I got from a Boden B/S/T group. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555889 Tue, 24 May 2016 22:52:38 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2555889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: I'm dying to get the Florasauros print one from Boden, but they were all out of LO's size and the next one. Did you get the one-piece or the rash guard? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555888 Tue, 24 May 2016 22:45:11 +0000 MamaG 2555888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, we were at the beach last week so they are all geared up for summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555868 Tue, 24 May 2016 21:48:23 +0000 Foodnerd81 2555868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickle: you could! I know people who are that lucky and it's not like they usually are in the swim suit that long. We went on a week long vacation and she pooped in it twice. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555864 Tue, 24 May 2016 21:42:03 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2555864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I'm kind of just hoping she never poops in it, but I doubt I'll get that lucky! :p I also saw some really cute swimwear at Target today. It's 20% off right now too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555854 Tue, 24 May 2016 21:29:08 +0000 Foodnerd81 2555854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: oh yeah I meant mix and match- like exactly what you said, a solid gap rash guard and a pink print tankini or something. Hopefully then I can get the sizes right too- curious how bottoms are going to fit without a diaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555852 Tue, 24 May 2016 21:27:04 +0000 twodoghouse 2555852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, they have a ton already! Except my tiny DD has not grown as much as I expected, so she still fits in last year's suits! I have a ton of 2T suits for her for this year, so I'm hoping she hits a growth spurt soon! DS has all rash guards + trunks. DD has a couple one pieces that I'll put a rash guard over and a couple rash guard sets with bikini bottoms. I also have a couple pairs of board shorts that I like to put on the bottom when we're out playing with the water table or splash pad because she's more comfy in shorts than bikini bottoms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555849 Tue, 24 May 2016 21:23:22 +0000 PinkElephant 2555849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: the only frustrating thing is that I think to get a coordinating combination (tankini &amp; rash guard), you're limited more to HA, Tea, etc...super cute but I find the cost a little hard to swallow the way my kids destroy their swimwear! We are currently doing a lot of mix &amp; match, or the Gap rash guard/bikini bottom sets. We size down to get the bottoms to fit, so the tops become a little cropped and more like 3/4 sleeve, which is nice for keeping cool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555848 Tue, 24 May 2016 21:19:22 +0000 Foodnerd81 2555848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: also that would be so hot! I would never want to wear a rash guard over a one piece either! I'm thinking tankini with a coordinating rash guard top will work best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555844 Tue, 24 May 2016 21:08:12 +0000 PinkElephant 2555844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I do the same with reusable swim diapers. Or honestly, if we are just playing in the sprinkler/water table, DD2 just wears a swimsuit (no diaper) if I'm sure she's pooped for the day. </p> <p>As for one piece swimsuits...DD1 (almost 4) can get them off if there's enough give in the straps. I wouldn't put one under a rash guard though, she'd never get that off to go potty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555838 Tue, 24 May 2016 21:02:51 +0000 Foodnerd81 2555838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickle: we had a reusable swim diaper last year for my toddler and it was really great, except when she pooped in it. It was just elastic and pulled down and just very gross. I started only using it days when she had already pooped! But we don't cloth diaper so my tolerance is way lower than someone who is used o cleaning diapers I'm sure! With the baby she is still EBF, no solids, so I don't know if any swim diaper, disposable or not, will contain it. </p> <p>@rattles: I'm really looking forward to not dealing with the swim diapers! She takes swim lessons at a gym and they still put her in the swim diaper just in case- luckily she calls the swim diaper "my swim suit". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555836 Tue, 24 May 2016 20:57:11 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2555836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD (7.5 months) has an iPlay long sleeve rash guard and reusable swim diaper. She wore them the first time last weekend and it looked so cute! The bottoms definitely run small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555829 Tue, 24 May 2016 20:43:17 +0000 rattles 2555829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, it's already summer here. DD1 finished her first session of swim lessons last week, and we spent Sunday lounging at the local water park. </p> <p>DD1: 3 one piece swimsuits (1 HA that still fits from last year, 1 new HA that has room to grow, 1 dinosaur print from Mini Boden)<br /> DD2: 3 one piece swimsuits (hand me downs from her sis) and one swim diaper and long sleeve rash guard (she is more sensitive to sun than her sister; Speedo bottoms, Baby Gap top)</p> <p>Side note: It is SO much easier now that DD1 is potty trained! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555817 Tue, 24 May 2016 20:25:14 +0000 Foodnerd81 2555817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: how hard are one pieces to get on and off? Especially for a potty trained toddler and very squirmy infant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555816 Tue, 24 May 2016 20:23:22 +0000 autumnlove 2555816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have some one pieces from Target and Oshkosh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-swim-wear-for-your-los-yet#post-2555812 Tue, 24 May 2016 20:18:40 +0000 Miss Ariel 2555812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but only because my mil has bought her several. She doesn't really need anymore, but I kind of want to pick at least one out myself. </p>
