Supporting Babies With Hip Dysplasia Thanks To Swimwear That Works With Them, Not Against Them

Why Len Swimwear Works Beautifully for Babies in Hip Dysplasia Braces

When Len was created, the goal was simple: to make joyful, sun-safe swimwear for children that’s as functional as it is fun. But what the founder didn’t anticipate was the overwhelming response from parents of babies with hip dysplasia — parents who had long struggled to find swimwear that fit over their child’s brace or harness without the need to remove the device and stress out the child.

What started as a stylish, nostalgic swimwear label quickly became something more: a safe and inclusive solution for little ones with unique needs.

Swimwear That Works With, Not Against, the Brace

For families navigating life with hip dysplasia, everyday things like getting dressed or heading to the pool can be unexpectedly complicated. Whether it’s a Rhino brace, or another orthopedic device, traditional baby swimwear often doesn’t accommodate the specific fit requirements these braces bring when needing to change them.

Len Swim’s designs naturally cater to these needs. The brand’s two-piece rash sets and one piece suits are made from soft, stretchy materials and intentionally cut to allow for unrestricted movement — even with a brace. Waistbands are flexible, the seams are gentle, and there’s room for nappies and harnesses without compromising style or comfort. the snap change component means it can be put on over the head and done up at the bottom without the stress of taking on and off the brace.

This kind of baby swimwear makes it easier for children with hip dysplasia to participate in water play, hydrotherapy, or beach days with their families, without parents having to make modifications or compromise on sun safety.

A Fit That Gives Freedom

What sets Len Swim apart is the real thought given to real bodies. Their infant rash sets are roomy enough to accommodate braces while still offering a snug, secure fit around the torso. Parents often report that they’re able to easily get the swimwear on and off — something that’s often a major stress point when dressing babies in harnesses.

And thanks to the brand’s signature use of high-quality, OEKO-TEX® certified fabrics and UPF50+ sun protection, families can feel confident knowing their baby is protected, comfortable, and included.

For the Families Who Felt Overlooked

This is what Len Swim stands for. Not just cute swimwear, but inclusive design. Not just sun safety, but peace of mind for parents who’ve had to fight to find the basics. They are also hugely popular for sensory sensitive and special needs children.
