Swimming is one of the best activities for kids and toddlers in Singapore. It keeps them active, builds confidence, and helps beat the heat. But let’s be real—chlorine, sun, and pool chemicals aren’t kind to delicate baby and toddler skin. That’s why swim care for kids isn’t just a luxury—it’s a must.
Whether you’re hitting the public pool, enrolling your child in swim classes, or enjoying a splashy weekend at Sentosa, you need to protect your little one’s skin before, during, and after the swim. Think of it as gear: swimwear, floaties, and baby and toddler swim skincare essentials.
Parents across Singapore are asking: Where can I buy swim care products for kids? What are the best brands? Are they safe for newborns? What’s the difference between post-swim lotion and regular moisturiser?
This guide answers all that—and more. From barrier creams to after-swim rinses, you’ll find what works for your baby, toddler or older kids—plus trusted brands and local retailers that carry them. So, before you pack the swim bag, make sure your little swimmer is protected from head to toe.
Keep your little one’s skin and hair happy after a day in the sun with Little Étoile’s Little Swimmers Bundle—a gentle, science-backed solution for after-swim care. Whether it's chlorine from the pool, UV exposure, or outdoor grime, summer fun can be tough on delicate young skin.
