Sun Protection Swimwear
Darwin's UV index is among the most intense in Australia, with extreme UV levels recorded on most days of the year. Sun protection is not a seasonal afterthought up here — it is a year-round necessity. UPF 50+ swimwear blocks more than 98% of UV radiation, making it the most reliable single-garment protection available for time in the water.
At Splash Swimwear, our sun protection swimwear range covers rashies, sunsuits, long sleeve swimsuits and UV-rated one pieces for women, men and children. UPF 50+ rated fabric is tightly woven to block UV even when wet — unlike regular swimwear fabric, which provides minimal protection when saturated.
Rashies and sunsuits are the most practical sun protection garment for swimming and water sports. Long sleeve rashies cover the arms and torso completely, removing the need for sunscreen on those areas. Sunsuits combine a rashie top with shorts or leggings for full-body coverage — ideal for children, surfers, snorkellers and anyone spending extended time in the water.
Key brands in our sun protection range include Seafolly, whose sun protective rashies are worn across Australia and beyond; Funkita and Funky Trunks, whose Funktech fabric is both UPF 50+ rated and chlorine resistant; and Speedo, whose Endurance+ and UV rashie ranges are designed for regular pool and ocean use.
