This distinction becomes more and more important as the awareness of skin damaging effects of visible light increases. There is also the safety aspect, that with clothing we do not have to worry about any absorption of any ingredients into the skin. Some swim shirts come with short sleeves, while others are designed to offer fuller coverage with long sleeves. Bathing shirts primarily protect you from the dangerous UV radiation of the sun. They look very similar to a normal T-shirt and you can easily and casually combine them with swimming trunks. To make them as comfortable as possible to wear, we have used particularly fast-drying materials. The benefit of this is that you can easily keep your swim shirt on after a lap in the water. If you have very sensitive skin, we recommend long-sleeved swim shirts for women, which give you the best possible protection from harmful UV rays.

In summer, spending plenty of time at the sea or in the sun can make sun protection especially important. Particularly strong sunlight can take away the joy and fun of swimming. To prevent unpleasant and painful sunburns, reliable UV protection is absolutely essential. Apart from applying sunscreen frequently, we advise you to wear swim shirts with integrated UV protection. In this way, you can enjoy your days in the sun without any worries!

Jan Willem van der Sterre introduced the Australian method to the Netherlands 10 years ago. What is the Australian method, you might now think? Australia is light years ahead of the Netherlands and Europe when it comes to safe and responsible sunbathing. In Australia, the sun shines often and intensely. In the Netherlands, a sun power of seven to eight is already considered 'high'. How different is it in Australia? There, sunshine strengths of fourteen or fifteen are regularly recorded. This high sun intensity is (logically) associated with a high UV content. This fact ensures that the number of people affected by melanoma (skin cancer) is also high. Of course, the combination of high sunlight and light skin also plays a role. The 'Australian' is in many cases descended from the British, and often has a light skin with little pigment. Australians also use a sunbed relatively often and, thanks to the warm and sunny conditions, live much more outdoors than here in the Netherlands or Europe.
