Kids’ Hooded Swim Robes

A hooded swim robe is the easy layer to put on straight after swimming. It helps dry your child off, keeps them warm when they leave the pool, and gives them a bit more coverage while walking to the car, having lunch or waiting for siblings to finish.

For most pool or beach days, it is more practical than a towel alone. A towel slips off the moment your child starts moving, while a robe stays on and leaves their hands free for snacks, bags and everything else. You may still want a separate towel for a lounger or to dry hair.

They can wear it straight over wet swimwear after the pool or beach.

Choose by your child’s height and the measurements on the product page, rather than age alone. A slightly roomier fit is usually helpful because it makes the robe easier to pull on over wet swimwear and gives them space to change underneath and you can wear it for longer.

Yes. It is one of the most useful things to pack for a beach holiday. Use it after a swim, as a cover-up between the pool and lunch, or when your child needs a warm, dry layer in an air-conditioned hotel or on the journey home.

Give it a wash immediately after a pool or beach day, especially if it has been exposed to chlorine, salt water or sunscreen. Follow the care label, wash with similar colours and make sure it is fully dry before packing it away.
