The most essential item in your baby swim kit is your Happy Nappy. In fact, most baby swim schools in the UK now recommend that all of their babies wear one. Afterall, the idea is that you go swimming with your baby – not with the contents of his or her leaking nappy!

They are made of 1mm supple, stretchy neoprene and finished with supper soft, snug fitting, deep bands of fabric with a high rubber content to keep all nasties inside.

Designed by Splash About with swim teachers, parents and babies in mind! So simple and yet so effective, no ties, no Velcro, no elastic. IT WORKS!! Can be worn with or without a conventional swim nappy - a liner is advised for ease of cleaning. Tested and improved upon with the leading UK swim teachers.

Choose from our fabulous selection of bright colours and prints, finished with contrasting bands of fabric, and from our range of sizes – from newborn to toddler.

We Say: All swim nappies feel awkward to squeeze on your baby when you aren't used to it, but you soon get the hang of it. It is essential that the swim nappy is snug otherwise it can't do it's job properly and we certainly don't want that! We have tested the Happy Nappy extensively and can honestly say we have never had any leaks, and as this is THE swim nappy of choice of all of the major UK swim schools you can be certain that it is the best swim nappy around. Larger sizes are quite generous, so if your child is slim choose a smaller size.

Rating 5/5 "Splash about swimming trunks for babies. Cannot fault them, they do what they are made to do. Cannot say the same for the inside nappy that they suggest you should purchase with them, as the velcro bit scratched my childs legs." - Rosa, London (June 2011) [We Say: We are sorry to hear about the scratches to your child's legs. This is the first time we have heard of this happening, so hopefully it is a rare event. We have reported the issue to Splash About]

Rating 5/5 "Before this purchase I previously used a smaller size splash about nappy for my baby son; this just replaces that smaller size. The Splash About swim nappies are excellent and give you full confidence that you won't get any nasty leaks in the swimming pool (I would be mortified if the pool had to be closed due to a poo escaping from my little one). Because they're reasonably body-hugging it can be a bit of a struggle to get them on, but once they're on you can see they're not going to leak. I think you can buy liners, but I find it easier just to use a normal swim nappy underneath. I would not hesitate to recommend this product." - Elizabeth, West Midlands (October 2010)

Rating 5/5 "good quality proiduct. Well made and easy to get on and off before and after swimming. Keeps in any 'substances' that shouldn't escape into the pool. Very good and colourful too!" - Dawn, Cheshire (October 2010)

Rating 5/5 "I've used these for five and a half months. They fit well and look very cute. These are the recommended swimmers for little ones and you can see why. You never worry of 'accidents' in the pool as they are snug - designed and made well - and look very cute too!" - Alison, London (November 2010)

Rating 5/5 "Just brilliant. I don't worry about any accidents in the pool now." - Kelly, Lincolnshire (November 2010)

Rating 5/5 "This swim nappy is great. Snug to wear but easy to get on even with a very wriggly toddler. With the cotton nappy liner it is even more comfy and so much more green than disposables." - Emma, Merseyside (August 2010)

Rating 4/5 "The swim nappy worked well and the baby seemed comfortable." - Fran, London (August 2010)

Rating 3/5 "I like the happy nappy a lot. The only downside is I do feel I still need to use a little swimmers nappy underneath. and I had hoped to save the money by not having to do this." - Camilla, London (June 2010)

Rating 4/5 "Good product, no leakage from the nappy. Looks attractive." - Katie, North Yorkshire (June 2010)

Rating 5/5 "The swim nappy is fantastic. It is easy to put on (either over a disposable swim nappy or terry liner) and take off ... even when you are holding a wet squirming baby in the pool changing rooms. We felt confident of no-leaks whilst in the pool and Logan (20 weeks old) will soon be wearing them to his first swimming lesson." - Katherine, Grampian (May 2010)

Rating 4/5 "Nice product - good quality and really love the colours. Kept my daughter dry in the pool." - Nikki, Hampshire (February 2010)

Rating 4/5 "I have a very long and thin baby. Thankfully the swim nappy stays on despite her only just being within the weight band for the product. The leg holes are a little baggy, but I suspect this has more to do with her skinny legs than poor design! All in all a good product I would buy again." - Eleanor, Hampshire (February 2010)

Rating 5/5 "Very useful and easy to use." - Sharon, Hampshire (January 2010)

Rating 5/5 "Have tried a few swim nappies and this one is the best! Have used the Happy Nappy before and am now buying the next size." - Milda, Middlesex (January 2010)

Rating 5/5 "Perfect for baby swimming, no need to worry about any accidents, so I can concentrate on having fun in the water with my 4-month old baby girl." - Victoria, West Yorkshire (February 2010)

"I started swimming lessons with my daughter and this Happy Nappy was an essential item to be worn at all lessons. Not only did it help to retain an 'accidents' from getting into the pool and causing problems, but more importantly it kept my daughter warm in the water as it is made of neoprene - which is the same fabric used on wet suits...Plus, it was trendy too! Just great. I have now purchased other items within the range. I can highly recommend having used twice a week for the last four months." - Jennifer, Bedforshire (December 2009)

"Feel tight to get on but very good and last for ages. My little boy has used his from 6 weeks to to 2 years." - Wendy S, Norfolk (November 2009)

"Splash About Happy Nappy was the item that i purchased and Splash About Happy is pretty much what it let my little one do. He felt comfortable and snug as he took his first lessons swimming last week and it takes a weight of my mind having to worry about any embarrassing leakages! Its also good to know that they have a whole range of sizes for me to buy when my little one grows and at a fairly low price in this day and age, its easy to do." - Lisa, Staffordshire (February 2009)

"Utterly dependable, both in the swimming pool, but also useful at home if, like us, you bathe with your baby, or with older children, and your baby has yet to learn that the bath is not a good place to poo!" - Marianne, Somerset (January 2009)

"The Splash About Happy Nappy is undoubtedly the best swim nappy I have used - and I've used a few! The waist and legs have a wide snuggly fitting cuff that ensures that nothing escapes, but doesn't cut in and leave any red marks. Great for at the pool or on the beach. It is easy to rinse out and dries very quickly. I highly recommend it." - Cathy, Hampshire (January 2009)
