Swimsuits for the family are a must this season as the sun is out, the weather is fine, and outdoor activities are a must to maintain our sanity. Whether you’re headed to the beach, your backyard pool, or planning for your much anticipated summer vacation, new swimsuits for the family are a necessity to getting everyone out of those winter clothes and soaking up some Vitamin D. There’s a good chance your kids have outgrown their suits, your husband’s suit is probably worn and has seen better days, and moms can always use an update in the swimsuit department to keep them comfortable and confident when heading out after a long, cold winter. This season we’ve rounded up some of the best brands for quality, durable kids swimwear, and versatile, comfortable adult swimwear to make sure there is a swimsuit everyone in your family will love.
The Best Swim Gear & Swimsuits for the Family 2020
Garnet Hill
It is springtime, the weather is warming, the days are gorgeous, and the kids are dying to get outdoors. Ready or not, it’s swimsuit season, a time of year when all women moms or not want to be classy, cute, and comfortable all in very little clothing. Whether you are planning to relax poolside, jump into the water for some snorkeling, or pull out the kayaks and paddleboards for a bit of adventure, no matter your style Garnet Hill is your one-stop shop for fun and functional swimwear for the family.
This season the one-piece swimsuit we love is the Garnet Hill Ruched Surplice V-Neck one-piece swimsuit. Simple and easy to slip on and go, there is no need for pulling, tugging and tucking in this comfortable and classic bathing suit. With full coverage for those of us active moms who need to stay covered while chasing toddlers or keeping up with adventurous teens, this suit will be your go-to for everyday wear. Featuring wide fixed straps and a surplice v-neckline, this ruched front suit is crafted of a silky soft UPF 50+ fabric, perfect for your day in the sea, sand, and sun.
If you prefer showing just a bit more skin, with the versatility of two pieces, then we love the Garnet Hill Ruched Surplice Tankini Top paired with the Garnet Hill Ruched Bikini Bottom. The tankini top is both flirty and feminine with its underwire support, lightly padded cups, and adjustable straps. This secretly slimming top pairs perfectly with your favorite bottom, from the classic bikini bottom to the swim skirt. Sporting a classic fit with a mid-rise waistband and good coverage in the back, we love that the Garnet Hill Ruched Bikini Bottoms show just the right amount of skin while still keeping you comfortable on the water.

Once you’re out of the water, whether grabbing a drink at the tiki bar or soaking up under the sails, make sure to grab one of the ultra-soft, luxury coverups Garnet Hill has to offer. Perfect for grabbing lunch or even running errands on the way to and from the water, we love the Organic-Linen Jersey Embroidered Coverup. This boho-inspired coverup features flutter sleeves, a v-neck with tassels ties, and a relaxed and comfy fit falling to just above the knee. With its artisan embroidery and easy to wear style, throw on your favorite flip flops and be ready for anything.

The Star Wars Girl’s Swimsuit is not only super adorable, but the polyester two-piece swimsuit also has UV sun protection, double-stitched seams (durability anyone?), and is fully lined.

If being a superhero of the night matches your child’s personality, then go bat-crazy splashing and conquering the best pool games yet!

The inside pockets make it an easy wrap-around option to keep them snuggly-warm and dry whenever they need it. Plus, it’s just too crazy-cute to pass up. But if your little one has her head in the clouds and daydreams of far-off places, then she’s definitely a unicorn.

Be sure you don’t leave the wee little ones out of the summer fun. No more worrying about your baby slipping away out of your site while at the pool.
