City Threads (citythreads.com/collections/upf-50-swim) offers swim wear, rashguards and cover ups that are rated SPF 50+, so fun in the sun doesn’t end badly. The UV protection comes from the tight weave and thickness of the fabrics, not added chemicals. A variety of kids’ styles and sizes are available.
