Girls' UPF 50+ bodysuits: Maximum Protection and Freedom of Movement

Girls' UPF 50+ bodysuits is the ideal choice for providing maximum sun protection for children during swimming, surfing, paddleboarding, or long beach days. By covering the torso, shoulders, upper arms, and thighs in a single piece, the girls' swim bodysuit creates a complete, high-performance textile barrier. At Canopea, our kids' sunsuits sit at the heart of our wider range of girls' UPF 50+ swimwear: combining certified UPF 50+ protection, ultra-soft eco-friendly fabrics, and refined cuts to merge sun safety, comfort, and timeless elegance.

Maximum Certified UPF 50+ Sun Protection for Sensitive Skin

Children's skin is delicate and particularly vulnerable to harmful UV rays. Every girls' swimsuit bodysuit provides certified UPF 50+ textile protection—the highest rating for sun-protective clothing—blocking over 98% of UVA and UVB rays. Unlike sunscreen, which washes off in the water and requires constant reapplication, textile sun protection is mechanical and permanent.

Thanks to its full-coverage design protecting the most vulnerable areas (shoulders, back, and torso), the girls' bodysuit significantly reduces the amount of skin needing sunscreen. For complete sun safety on bright days, simply apply sunscreen to uncovered skin (face, forearms, lower legs), accessorize with a sun hat and UV sunglasses, and avoid direct exposure during peak sun hours. For toddlers, explore our dedicated range of baby girls' UPF 50+ swimwear.

Optimal Comfort and Easy Dressing for Free Movement

Designed to move naturally with young girls, the Canopea UPF 50+ bodysuit is crafted from stretchy, lightweight, and incredibly soft technical fabrics. Its tailored fit prevents chafing and allows unrestricted movement whether swimming, jumping in the waves, or building sandcastles.

To make dressing easy for parents and children alike, our swimsuits feature an ergonomic zipper that allows quick changing even when wet. To find the perfect fit, be sure to check our size guide using your child's current height and measurements.

Durable Recycled Fabrics and the Signature Canopea Touch

In line with our commitment to sustainability, Canopea girls' UPF 50+ bodysuits are crafted from premium recycled fibers (Econyl) made from regenerated fishing nets and ocean plastics. Our fabrics offer high resistance to sea salt and sunscreen oils.

However, heavily chlorinated pool water can wear down elastic fibers over time. To preserve the fabric, maintain elasticity, and keep your bodysuit looking vibrant season after season, be sure to rinse it thoroughly in cool, clean water after every use.

To mix up styles depending on the day's activities, explore our selection of girls' 1-piece swimsuits, our girls' UPF 50+ bikinis, or pair a girls' rashguard top with matching swim bottoms.

Frequently Asked Questions about girls' UPF 50+ bodysuits

What is the difference between a UPF 50+ bodysuit and a classic 1-piece swimsuit?

A girls' swim bodysuit offers greater coverage than a traditional girls' 1-piece swimsuit. It covers the shoulders, upper arms, and extends down the thighs, providing enhanced protection across the areas most prone to sunburn.

Is the girls' bodysuit suitable for swimming lessons or water sports?

Yes, it is particularly suited for water sports (surfing, paddleboarding, sailing, bodyboarding) and active water play. It protects against sun exposure while helping prevent board chafing. For public swimming pools, it works perfectly—just ensure you rinse it in fresh water after swimming to remove chlorine residue.

Is it difficult to take off a girls' bodysuit when wet?

No, our designs prioritize everyday practicality. Thanks to the front or back zipper closure and highly flexible fabric, the bodysuit slips on and off effortlessly without pulling on the skin or hair.

Should my child wear a swimsuit under a UPF 50+ bodysuit?

No, there is no need to wear a swimsuit underneath. The girls' UPF 50+ bodysuit is designed to be worn directly against the skin as a complete, standalone swimwear piece, providing maximum comfort without unnecessary bulk.
