Winners of Best Children's Swimwear / Eco Swimwear Collection Junior Design Awards 2023
Best Children’s Swimwear & Eco Swimwear Collection: GOLD
WHO: Splash About
WHAT: Splash About Children's Swimwear Collection
WHY: The JDA panel was impressed with Splash About’s unique approach to children’s swimwear which centres on innovation and technical design. Designing swimwear and accessories that are both stylish and functional, this is a brand that takes keeping little ones safe and comfortable in the water very seriously. With reusable swim nappies, baby wetsuits, adjustable buoyancy learn-to-swim jackets in their range and more, our judges agreed that this was a brand that felt reassuringly well-made and thoroughly researched for maximum safety and performance.
This swimwear looks incredibly simple but in fact, they feature so many cleverly thought-out details to make kids feel comfortable in the water. Great to hear that fabrics are designed to regulate body temperature and are UPF50+ as standard.
All three of my children wore Splash About swimwear as babies - in fact several times they were passed down through them all and still looked as good as new after so have been passed on to friends...

WHO: Bambino Mio
WHAT: Swim nappy
WHY: Quite simply put, Bambino Mio’s smart swimmers give everyone the freedom to splash without fear of poos in the pool! As well as preserving paddling pools and swimming pools from the perils of leaky swim nappies, these eco-friendly swimming pants that can be worn time and time again, mean less disposable swim nappies in landfill. Our judges felt these swim nappies were well-designed and comfortable to wear, featuring fun prints that parents and babies would love.
Such well-designed eco-friendly swim nappies that are cute to look at and make swimming with a baby so much less stressful. No spills!
Super cute swim nappies in fun prints. No other swim nappies or swimwear required! Easy beach baby dressing.

Best Children’s Swimwear & Eco Swimwear Collection: BRONZE
WHO: Konfidence
WHAT: Splashy™ Baby and Children's Swimwear Collection
WHY: The Splashy™ range from Konfidence scored well with our judges who felt that this collection was well designed, keeping little children’s comfort and freedom of movement at its core. The brand’s discovery of a more eco-friendly alternative to traditional neoprene was applauded by our judges who were pleased to discover that Splashy’s unique e-Flex™ material is made from a recycled plastic blend rather than neoprene’s oil-based, man-made rubber, which is non-recyclable.
The choice of a more eco-friendly fabric is a great move and these suits and swimmers feel well made and easy to move in.
Haven't tried this brand myself but I see a lot of kids wearing it and have heard only good things!
