We know how much your little swimmers love splashing around in the pool and surf, but all that chlorine and salt water can have some not-so-friendly effects on their sensitive skin!
While chlorine is essential for keeping pools clean and free from bacteria, it’s important to take a few protective measures to keep your child’s skin and hair happy and healthy.
Our top tips for looking after your little one’s hair and skin when swimming:
✅ Rinse BEFORE Swimming: Before each swimming lesson, make sure your child thoroughly rinses in a fresh water shower. Hair absorbs the first liquid it comes into contact with, so it’s best for that to be tap water rather than chlorinated water.
✅ Wear a Swim Cap: Encourage your child to wear a TRISWIM swim cap while swimming. This provides an extra layer of protection, helping to minimise direct contact between their hair and chlorinated water. Pair it with goggles to prevent eye irritation.
✅ Rinse AFTER Swimming: Use TRISWIM Kids Shampoo and Body Wash or Swim Suds 2-in-1 to safely and effectively remove chlorine and other chemicals from the hair and skin. With a fun, candy-like scent, your little one will love how TRISWIM gently cleanses away pool odour while hydrating and nourishing to eliminate that dry, itchy feeling.
✅ Moisturise: To rehydrate and replenish, apply TRISWIM Conditioner after shampooing and TRISWIM Lotion after cleansing. These kid-friendly formulas are packed with nutrients to deeply moisturise and nourish your child’s hair and skin, ensuring a tangle-free, irritation-free post-swim experience.
✅ Stay Hydrated: Make sure your child drinks plenty of water before and after swimming to help maintain their skin’s natural moisture balance.
✅ Consult a Paediatrician if Needed: If your child experiences persistent skin or hair issues despite using TRISWIM or other protective measures, it’s always a good idea to seek personalised advice from a paediatrician.
Swimming lessons are an important part of learning water safety, but they’re far less enjoyable when dry, tangled hair and irritated skin get in the way. With TRISWIM, you can help your little one maintain a long-term love for the water - without the discomfort! 💦
