For Young Swimmers
Protect Your Child's Skin from Chlorine, Every Time They Swim
Children's skin is thinner than adult skin and produces fewer natural protective oils, which means chlorine can affect it more quickly. DermaSwim Pre-Swimming Lotion creates a gentle protective barrier before your child gets in the pool, helping to keep chlorine from stripping their skin's natural moisture during swim lessons, practice, or play.
Safety Warning: DO NOT carry children while you or they are using DermaSwim, as the lotion may make skin very slippery.
Made for swimmers of all ages
Why It Matters
Why Children's Skin Needs Extra Protection in the Pool
Every child in a pool is being exposed to chlorine. For most kids that means regular swim lessons, summer pool days, and swim team practice, all adding up to consistent chlorine contact over weeks and months. The difference between a child's skin and an adult's makes that exposure worth thinking about.
How Kids' Skin Is Different
Why Chlorine Affects Children More Quickly
Thinner Skin Barrier
Children's skin has a less developed outer layer, the stratum corneum, which may allow chlorine to affect their skin more readily than adult skin.
Less Natural Oil Production
Children's skin produces fewer of the natural oils that help protect against moisture loss. Chlorine can strip what's there more quickly, leaving skin feeling dry and irritated sooner.
Higher Surface Area Ratio
Children have a higher surface area to body weight ratio, which means more of their body is in contact with pool chemicals relative to their size.
More Time in the Water
Kids don't swim in short bursts. Swim lessons, practice, and summer pool days mean extended time in the water, and extended chlorine exposure.
What to Watch For
What Chlorine Irritation Looks Like in Kids
- Red, irritated skin during or after swimming
- Itching and discomfort that starts after they get out
- Dry, flaky patches that develop over a swim season
- A chlorine smell that lingers even after bathing
If your child has a diagnosed skin condition, speak with their pediatrician or dermatologist before adding any new product to their routine.
How DermaSwim Helps
Protection Goes On Before They Swim
Most parents apply lotion after swimming, but by then, the chlorine has already been in contact with their child's skin for the entire session. DermaSwim is different: it goes on before the swim, creating a protective layer that's already in place the moment your child gets in the water.
Apply before swim time
Massage DermaSwim into your child's clean, dry skin before they get in the pool.
Let them swim
The protective layer stays in place during the session, helping to reduce direct chlorine contact throughout.
Less irritation after
Less chlorine contact means skin that feels softer, less dry, and less irritated when they get out.
DO NOT carry children while you or they are using DermaSwim, as the lotion may make skin very slippery.
