Swim Legionnaire Hats

Why choose a swim legionnaire hat?

Our UPF50+ swim hats are made for days in and around the water, with quick-drying, chlorine-friendly fabric designed for beach days, pools, swimming lessons and water play.

For babies, toddlers and younger kids, the Swim Legionnaire Hat has a soft back flap for extra coverage around the ears and neck, plus an anti-flop brim designed to stay up even when wet.

Are swim legionnaire hats good for babies?

Yes. Their soft shape makes them especially practical for babies and toddlers. The back flap sits comfortably behind the neck in prams and strollers, while the brim helps shade little faces from sun and glare.

Which swim hat is best for older kids?

As kids grow, they can move into our Swim Classic Bucket Hats for an easy all-round style with an anti-flop brim.

For kids with longer hair, our Swim Ponytail Bucket Hats offer the same practical sun coverage with a handy opening at the back for ponytails and buns.

All of our kids swim hat styles provide UPF50+ protection.

What else do I need for water days?

Pair their swim hat with one of our UPF50+ Rash Vests for long-sleeve coverage, then add a Wet Bag for damp swimmers, rashies and hats afterwards.

For dry everyday adventures, switch back to one of our everyday Legionnaire Hats.

What size swim hat should I choose?

Measure around the widest part of your child’s head and use their head measurement rather than age alone when choosing a size. Check our Hat Size Guide before ordering to find the best fit.
