By Bluey Merch Editorial

Most parents think swimsuit shopping is just about picking a cute posters & wall art collection. I've found the wrong Bluey swimsuit can ruin a pool day faster than a popped floatie. Fabric that sags when wet, zippers that dig in, or prints that fade after two washes turn a fun outing into a hassle. After testing dozens of options for our store this season, I'm sharing the Bluey swimwear kids actually love wearing and that hold up to real summer play.

In this guide, you'll learn exactly which suits fit best for different body types, which accessories collection add real value, and how to keep your little ones safe under the sun. I've also included a quick-pick table so you can find your match in seconds.

Top Bluey Swimsuits for Boys and Girls

Rash Guards and Swim T-Shirts

For kids who never stop moving, a rash guard is non-negotiable. The Bluey rash guard set combines a zip-front top with matching trunks, made from a blend of polyester and elastane that stretches without losing shape. I've seen these survive a full summer of weekly pool trips without pilling or fading. The UPF 50+ rating means you can skip reapplying sunscreen every 20 minutes on covered areas.

One-Piece Suits for Toddlers

Toddlers need suits that make diaper changes easy. The Bluey one-piece with snap crotch is a lifesaver. It has adjustable straps so the suit grows with your child, and the full-coverage cut avoids the wedgie complaints you get with bikinis. One mom told me her 2-year-old wore hers for two seasons because she could let out the straps.

Two-Piece Sets for Older Kids

Bigger kids often want more independence with dressing. Bluey two-piece sets come in tankini or bikini styles with side-tie bottoms that are easy to adjust. The tops have a double-layer lining for modesty, and the prints feature Bluey, Bingo, and friends in bright colors that don't wash out. I recommend sizing up if your child is between sizes, because these run slightly snug after the first wash.

Must-Have Pool Accessories: Towels, Bags, and More

The All-in-One Pool Towel

A great towel makes the difference between a chilly exit and a warm wrap. The Bluey poolside towel is 30x60 inches, big enough for kids up to age 8. It's 100% cotton terry, so it absorbs fast, and the print is screen-printed directly into the fabric rather than layered on top. That means no peeling after dozens of washes.

Beach Bags and Wet Bags

You need a bags & totes collection that separates wet suits from dry snacks. The Bluey mesh beach bag lets sand fall through and air circulate, so nothing gets musty. For smaller items like goggles and sunscreen, a Bluey wet bag with a waterproof lining keeps everything contained. I like the one with a drawstring closure and carabiner clip for hanging on a fence.

Inflatable Floats and Pool Toys

For non-swimmers, the Bluey inflatable ride-on float (about 48 inches wide) is a huge hit. It has a backrest and mugs & drinkware collection holder, and the PVC material holds up to punctures better than cheap party-store floats. Just keep an eye on the recommended weight limit (50 pounds) and always supervise.

Safety and Sun Protection: Bluey Sunglasses and Hats

Sunglasses That Stay Put

Kids lose sunglasses constantly. The Bluey baby sunglasses have a soft silicone strap that wraps around the head, so they can't fall off during a cannonball. The lenses are polycarbonate (impact-resistant) and block 100% of UVA/UVB rays. For older kids, the Bluey aviator-style frames with spring hinges survive being sat on and tossed in a bag.

Hats with Coverage

A bucket hats & caps collection with a neck flap is my top recommendation for babies and toddlers. The Bluey version has UPF 50+ fabric, a chin strap to keep it on, and it folds flat for packing. I've tested it on a windy beach day, and it stayed put while the sun was blazing. For older kids, a classic baseball cap in Bluey print works, but they'll need sunscreen on their ears and neck.

Sunscreen and Reapplication Tips

No piece of clothing replaces sunscreen. But a UPF 50+ Bluey rash guard means you only need to sunscreen exposed arms, legs, and face. Set a timer for every 90 minutes out of the water. I pack a Bluey wet bag with a travel-size sunscreen stick so it's easy to reapply without sticky hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes do Bluey swimsuits come in?

Our swimsuits range from 12 months to 8 years. Each product page has a size chart with exact measurements in inches (chest, waist, height). We recommend measuring your child against the chart rather than guessing by age.

Are the swimsuits chlorine-resistant?

Yes, the polyester and elastane blends used in our rash guards and one-pieces are chlorine-resistant. They hold their shape and color longer than cotton blends. Rinse them in cold water after each use for best results.

Do you offer matching family sets?

Currently, we only carry kids' sizes, but we plan to add adult sizes later this year. You can mix and match prints from the same collection to create a coordinated family look.

How do I wash Bluey swimwear to keep the print bright?

Turn the suit inside out, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, and hang dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Never put swimwear in the dryer, because heat can damage the elastic and fade the print.

Is this officially licensed Bluey merchandise?

No, our products are fan-made and not officially licensed by Ludo Studio or the creators of Bluey. They are inspired by the beloved characters and designed by our community of artists.
