Tucker and Tate Swimwear Collection
Our classic swim trunk brings vibrant prints and quick-dry performance to every pool party and beach trip. Designed for active kids who love the water, each pair features an elastic drawstring waistband, mesh lining for comfort, and UPF 50+ sun protection built into the fabric.
We've paired bold patterns—from geometric waves to tropical florals—with durable construction that stands up to chlorine, saltwater, and endless cannonballs. The lightweight polyester blend dries fast, so kids stay comfortable from the pool to playtime.
Fabric & fit details
UPF 50+ Sun Protection Built Into Every Piece
We engineer Tucker and Tate swim with UPF 50+ fabric technology that blocks 98% of the sun’s harmful UV rays. This built-in protection stays effective even when the fabric gets wet, unlike topical sunscreens that wash off during the first few minutes in the pool.
How UPF Fabric Works
The tight weave of our polyester and nylon blends prevents UV radiation from penetrating to the skin. Chemical treatments applied during manufacturing enhance this natural barrier, creating a permanent shield that won’t degrade with washing or wear. Parents can layer sunscreen on exposed areas—face, hands, feet—while trusting the swimwear to protect covered skin throughout hours of outdoor play.
Quick-Dry Fabrics for Active Kids
Tucker and Tate swim pieces dry in minutes, not hours, thanks to moisture-wicking polyester and nylon blends. The lightweight construction pulls water away from skin and releases it into the air, so kids transition comfortably from the pool to lunch, the car, or the next activity without sitting in soggy suits.
Why Fast Drying Matters
Wet fabric against skin can cause chafing, temperature discomfort, and rashes during long beach days. Our quick-dry technology minimizes these issues by returning the suit to a nearly dry state within 15–20 minutes of leaving the water. This feature proves especially valuable during multi-stop summer outings when changing clothes isn’t always practical.
Sizing & Fit Guidance
We size Tucker and Tate swim to align with kids’ regular clothing sizes, from toddler 2T through youth 14. Each style includes detailed measurements on the product page, covering chest, waist, hip, and inseam dimensions to help parents choose the right fit on the first try.
Growth-Friendly Features
Adjustable elements—drawstring waistbands on trunks and shorts, tie closures on bikini tops, stretchy straps on one-pieces—accommodate growth spurts and ensure a secure fit across a range of body shapes. Four-way stretch fabric moves with active bodies, preventing the pulling and binding that can limit a child’s confidence in the water.

Tucker and Tate Swim Questions
Yes, our swimwear aligns with standard kids' clothing sizes. We recommend consulting the size chart on each product page, which includes specific chest, waist, and hip measurements. If your child falls between two sizes or experiences frequent growth spurts, sizing up provides a better fit that will last longer. Adjustable features like drawstrings and tie closures help accommodate slight size variations.
Rinse suits in cool fresh water after each use to remove chlorine and salt, then machine wash inside-out on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high-heat drying, which can degrade the UPF coating and elastic fibers. Air-dry by laying flat or hanging in shade. The UPF treatment is built into the fabric weave and won't wash out with proper care.
Absolutely. Our polyester and nylon blends resist damage from both saltwater and chlorine. The fabrics maintain their shape, color, and UPF protection across different water environments. Rinsing immediately after use and following washing instructions will keep suits in excellent condition through an entire season of varied swimming activities.
We prioritize UPF 50+ sun protection, quick-dry performance, and durability in every piece. The combination of technical fabrics, thoughtful construction details like flatlock seams and adjustable closures, and vibrant prints creates swimwear that performs as well as it looks. Parents appreciate the long-lasting quality, while kids love the comfortable fit and fun designs.
Yes, our rash guard sets feature the same flatlock seams and four-way stretch fabric found in performance surf wear. The snug fit prevents chafing during paddling and active movement, while UPF 50+ fabric shields skin from sun exposure during extended time on the water. Many families use our rash guards for surfing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and sailing.
With proper care, our swim pieces easily last multiple seasons. Families often pass suits down to younger siblings after the original wearer outgrows them. The chlorine-resistant and colorfast construction maintains integrity through dozens of washes and countless hours in the water. Elastic waistbands and adjustable features retain their function even after extended use.
Our collection includes coordinating prints across different styles and size ranges, making it easy to dress siblings in complementary looks. The same geometric waves, tropical florals, and bold stripes appear on trunks, one-pieces, rash guards, and bikini sets, so families can mix and match while maintaining a cohesive beach-day aesthetic. Many parents appreciate this coordination for group photos and family vacations.
