Teen UV-protective swim tops: UPF 50+ coverage for girls and boys

A teen UV-protective swim top adds a sporty, clean and elegant touch to teenage swimwear. Worn over a one-piece swimsuit, with a bikini or with shorts, this UPF 50+ certified top makes it easy to adjust upper-body sun protection. At Canopea, our designs combine chic style, close-fitting cuts and freedom of movement for girls' and boys' water activities.

High sun protection with a UPF 50+ swim top

All our teen UV-protective swim tops provide fabric protection that blocks more than 98% of UVA and UVB rays without chemical UV filters, whether dry or wet.

Coverage depends on the cut:

• Long-sleeved UV-protective swim top: Ideal for more coverage on the arms during longer periods outdoors, paddleboarding or surfing.
• Short-sleeved UV-protective swim top: Covers the torso and shoulders while allowing plenty of movement.

For exposed areas such as the face, hands and legs, high-SPF sunscreen remains essential, alongside a hat and shade during the hottest hours.

Frequently asked questions about teen UV-protective swim tops

Which teen UV-protective swim top should I choose for water sports?

For surfing, paddleboarding or sailing, choose a long-sleeved UV-protective swim top. It covers the arms against direct sunlight and helps reduce rubbing against the board.

How should I choose a swim top size for a growing teenager?

Use your teenager's current bust or chest measurement and height. The top should fit closely enough not to ride up in the water while remaining stretchy enough for comfortable swimming.

How should I care for an ECONYL® teen swim top?

Rinse the top in cool fresh water after swimming. Machine wash on a delicate cycle at no more than 30°C and lay it flat to dry in the shade to preserve the technical fabric and colours.
