Last summer DD had 3 sets. Granted she was at swim class every week but I thought even 2 would've been enough for a baby! (she was 6-9 months)
This summer I'm thinking I should get 2...? Or I wonder if she'd be out in the backyard playing in her little pool much more... She'll be 18 mo in June, but it probably doesn't really get hot here till July and I'm unsure if we can afford more swim lessons for her.

I think we're going to do three, two rash guard sets and one for indoor/evenings type of thing. They are so cute it's hard to restrain myself!

I think 1 is enough enough but we have several hand me downs!

1-2 should be fine. I only brought more than one when we were on vacation.

3 and a rash guard, but we live in a coastal town and are at the beach nearly every day, come summer. And Target has super cute suits for $12 a pop, so I'm not breaking the bank.

We are getting about 4 cheap (Target or Walmart) swimsuits. It will be 100 by June where we live and she will be in her baby pool in our backyard 1-2X a day and I want to give the suits time to dry.

Last summer we had one piece rash guard that we used the most, a rash guard top from Gap and a swimsuit. I got some great deals at Gymboree on summer clothes and also picked up a suit and already have a hand me down HA rashguard for the summer.

One was enough back when we would occasionally visit the beach and pool. Now we belong to a community pool and spend a lot of time there in the summer. So now each kid has two.

3-4 but I am a sucker for swimwear. We swim a lot during the summer.

Two. We only have two places we swim at and the heat is usually mild here so we would swim once during the day when we do go swimming so with that the next day we would have a dry suit to wear while we washed the other.

2, although we can use more because we swim a lot during the summer.

last year we had 2--one for home and one that stayed at daycare (they have their own little splash pad that they take the kids to almost every summer day if it isn't raining). then someone gifted us another, but I don't think she wore it more than 1x

@PawPrints: My kids always wear rash guards (and so do I!), so I count them. I have 2 suits/rash guards each.

I'm going to invest in a good zippered rashguard then one other for back up. So, 2. We have a pool and am hoping the weather will be hot enough this summer for more swimming! DD2 will also be older this year so there will definitely be more kiddie pool time as well!

We have 3 this season for our 3 year old. We are joining a pool where we will probably live all summer and we are going to the beach for a week. At least 2 are necessary for the beach, I think, because sometimes we go twice a day and one needs time to dry.
The baby, 7m, has 2.

@PawPrints: Yes to me!
Good thing some of you pointed out daycare sets... I guess I should ask if they'd be playing in sprinklers or baby pools in the summer!
It is just sooo hard to resist!

2-3. We will have 2 suits this year - each have a rash guard top and bikini bottoms. We do swim lessons and spend a lot of weekends at the beach.

We do 2. I leave one at daycare for when they go out into the sprinklers at the park and keep one at home. If not for needing one at daycare, we could honestly get away with 1 or even 0. We never swim or go to the beach.

@PawPrints: I think they do. We actually don't have any bathing suit tops for our daughter. She's so fair, I can't handle her wearing just a bathing suit.

@mediagirl: Yeah that was my question, I only buy rash guards for DD and don't see getting an actual swim suit for her- what would be the point?

At least 4. But my LO swims/does water play at school daily during the summer and we live steps away from our community pool so we do a lot of swimming. 4 lets me usually get away with one wash during the week and then 1 or 2 iver the weekend.

I have 3 for each kid but I leave one at the family lakehouse.
GOLD / wonderful apricot / 22646 posts
we usually do two, but this summer will likely be 3 so I can leave a set at DS1's preschool.
