Think back to when you were kids… back to when you spent the whole summer in swimsuits and swim trunks… back to when the scent of chlorine was a fresh reminder of how you spent the day at the pool… and back to when the sand was permanently embedded underneath your toenails from all those trips to the beach. This is back before you cared what you looked like in a bathing suit and back when a carefree attitude was the only thing you needed to have fun.

Today there are so many choices for kids’ swimsuits. Take Cabana Life®, for example, they have multiple swimsuit choices for infants, toddlers, and little kids to help them play in the sprinkler until their heart’s content. le top® also has infant bathing suits, toddler bathing suits, and children’s bathing suits for little kids, while Diesel® and Hurley® make awesome boys board shorts and boys swim trunks for all the aspiring beach bums out there. Roxy® has infant through big girl sizes for cute girls bathing suits and also carries a variety of girls’ board shorts and girls’ rash guards for the enthusiastic young surfer girls.

Even though you’re a little more concerned with style now, you still remember what it was like to be a kid splashing about. Maybe you were lucky enough to be one of those kids who got to swing from a rope into the county lake with all your friends cheering you on. Now you can do it all over again in a flashy pair of Ed Hardy® board shorts or a retro pair of Modern Amusement® board shorts. This time, it’s bound to be less scary! Maybe you just want to take a dip in the backyard pool in a cool pair of Vineyard Vines® swim trunks or judge a diving contest in a comfortable pair of Tommy Bahama® swim trunks.

Finding a womens swimsuit takes a lot more time than it used to. Now, you’ve got to find a top that fits the top part of you and swimsuit bottoms that fit, well, your bottom! Fortunately, you can mix and match bikini tops and bikini bottoms from GUESS® to get the perfect fit! Tankinis from Tommy Hilfiger® give a figure-flattering look and provide some extra coverage, but you can always wear classic one-piece bathing suit from St John® if you want all-over coverage!

For the swimming all stars, try Nike Swim® and Speedo® for performance-ready swim gear like goggles, fins, and swimsuits. For those outdoor lovers, go with brands you’re familiar with like Carve Designs®, Lolë® and Patagonia®.

Whatever women’s bathing suit, men’s swim trunks, or children’s bathing suits you pick for your summer fun, create some fun, new memories during your summer vacation.
