Holiday Beach Travel Tips

It is that time of year again when cold weather sets in and families head off to the beach for holiday travel!  It may have been a few months since sun exposure was at the front of your mind, but do not forget to stay covered up.  Children are especially vulnerable to the sun's harmful UV rays, so be sure to wear clothing with spf protection.  In particular, when at the beach or pool, the sun's rays will be bouncing off the water and creating even more chances for sunburn.  Get a child bathing suit with UV protection like SwimZip's Ruffle Me Pretty or Surfer Dude and wear a hat.  They are so cute and may help prevent your child from getting skin cancer later in life.  For the best 2013 swimwear and swimsuits, check out SwimZip's award winning line of sun protection swimsuits for baby, toddler, and kids.

For other travel tips, be sure to check out: Independent Traveler.com's list of ideas like leave early and pack wisely.

Basketball Coach Has Cancerous Growth Removed - Possibly Linked to Earlier Skin Cancer

Jim Calhoun had what he described as a cancerous growth - possibly linked to an earlier skin cancer - taken out Monday.

From Boston.comhttp://www.boston.com/lifestyle/health/2012/12/03/calhoun-reveals-had-cancer-surgery-may/I4KN3qqVc7lG7cIJwMy4YP/story.html:

"Calhoun told YES that doctors removed the growth, concerned it might be related to a previous skin cancer.

Reached later by telephone, Calhoun was asked to clarify whether the growth was cancer.

‘‘It was cancer-related, yes,’’ he told The Associated Press. ‘‘I'm not going to talk about it. I was out for a day and a half. I'm completely healthy now.’’"

How to Protect from the Sun

When it comes to protecting skin from the sun, the two most important things are to put on UV protective clothing and wear sunscreen.  Both can protect the skin from sun's uva and uvb rays - which is extremely important because these damaging rays can lead to skin cancer.  Keep in mind, to be safe in the sun you must reapply sunscreen often (as much as once every two hours or even more (especially if you have been in the water)) or wear clothing specially designed to protect from the sun.  For example, SwimZip swimsuits block 99% of UVA and UVB rays and are a great complement to sunscreen.  When Iplay at the pool with my kids, I insist they wear a swimsuit that blocks the sun's rays, sunscreen, and a hat.  When it comes time to protect from the sun, there is simply no excuse not to be covered.  With products like SwimZip swimwear (www.swimzip.com), rash guards, hats, and sunscreens - protecting from the sun has never been easier (or more important!)  Get out and play, but be sun safe!

I Repeat: Get UV Protective Clothing and Swimwear to Help Fight Skin Cancer

We have said it before, but we will say it again:  Getting just a few sunburns in childhood can significantly raise a child's chances of skin cancer later in life.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states simply: Kids "skin needs protection from the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays whenever they're outdoors."

Unfortunately, we know as parents that it is never that simple.  Let's review what experience has taught us: getting infants, toddlers, and young children covered with sunscreen day-in and day-out takes an unbelievable amount of effort.  Every two hours between the hours of 9 am and 4 pm adds up to a lot of work!  Of course, all that effort is usually rewarded with tears and fuss from those little ones we love so much and are doing our best to protect.

Here at SwimZip (www.swimzip.com) we want to keep kids safe from those killer sunburns and make the lives of moms and dads everywhere that much easier.  Getting clothes and swimwear with UV protection is a MUST and it is so easy to do!  Parents, there is no excuse for not getting swimsuits with the greatest protection from UVA and UVB rays!

SwimZips offer the best protection from the sun.  We get the best reviews and the highest ratings again and again.  Moms and dads love us for the cute designs and that full zipper down the front of our swimwear that lets kids put on their own sun protection.  This is the best toddler rash guard and best baby rash guard on the market, hands down.  With the stylish looks and high quality materials, this is a no-brainer so stop thinking about it and go order now!

Connecting the dots is not difficult.  Review it yourself ... the science is clear that baby and toddler sunburns are leading to skin cancer.  Get swimwear and clothes with UV protection and help keep you kid cancer free.

Stylish Swimwear for Kids

Do you have a little fashionista in your life?  SwimZip is the place to come if you are worried about sun protection and have a picky son or daughter who only wants to wear what's in style.  We hear from parents all the time how their kids don't want to wear a rash guard because it's a pain to pull over their head or how their kid doesn't like the way it looks and how SwimZip fixes it all!  Check out what Mommy Testers has to say about SwimZip:

"Living in San Diego sun protection is constantly on my mind.  It's not a seasonal thought, it's a year round issue.  To complicate things, I've got a little fashionista on my hands.   My 3 year old daughter Kayla has recently developed an opinion of her own when it comes to clothing and that includes swimwear.  It's probably my fault as a veteran of the fashion industry, but don't tell my husband I admitted that."

Swimwear for Swim Lessons

Are you excited to teach you kids how to swim?  It's such a fun experience to take your kids to the pool and take parent-and-child (or mommy and me lessons) swimming lessons.  Pediatricians recommend you start swim lessons at 6 months if the baby enjoys bath time and being in the water.

We have a fan who LOVES to do swim lessons and always take him with his UV protective SwimZip because it is easy to put on and take off, and they don't have to fuss with as much sunscreen.  Check out this photo they shared with us.

Also SwimZip is an award winning product.  It has been awarded the Parent Tested Parent Approved Seal of Approval and Mom's Choice Awards. 

Here are a few comments from the PTPA team who selected SwimZip to be an Award Winning Product.

"My daughter and I both enjoyed this swim shirt. It was easy for both of us to take off and put on and she could easily do it herself. It is great for a day at the beach or for swim classes."

"My children always wear UV protective bathing suits and the zipper in this shirt makes it so much more convenient to get on and off! What a fabulous idea!"

"The SwimZip is a swim shirt that not only helps to protect your little one from the sun's harmful rays, but is also fashionable and durable. Its best feature is the full length zipper which allows you to easily put on and pull off the swim shirt without causing too much trouble for you or your little one. A great product to bring to the pool for any parent!"

"Have you ever seen the face of a child well pulling there tight necked swim shirts over there head when wet? Fear in there eyes, and a bit dizzy after it's all done.
