I didn’t want my little boys to look like they were about to embark upon a scuba expedition or the last leg of a triathlon. I wanted them to channel a life of leisure, even if we were just running through the sprinkler in the driveway.

But alas, nothing lasts forever. After heavy wear, the suits had some well-earned holes in inopportune places and had to be disposed of. Since then I’ve been on the hunt for boys’ one-pieces because, if there is another guiding principle in my quest for the perfect kids’ swimwear, it is that I will take one good suit over trunks and rash guard any day: fewer pieces to bring, fewer pieces to inevitably leave behind.

Turns out, this summer was also going to be the moment when they finally would put their little feet down and refused to let me dress them in matching outfits. By mid-summer my four-year-old had solidified a style of his own, one my husband described as “Dutch footballer on an off day.” A recent ensemble: pineapple-printed shorts, a Day-Glo neon orange quick-dry tee shirt, striped yellow socks pulled up to the knee, and bright blue sneakers.
