I recently came across a link for zip-up swim wear...a great idea for the kids and adults who have a hard time getting in and out of "standard" swimsuits....especially when wet. :) Please feel free to check out my older post about adapted floatation devices and swim briefs here: http://www.real-life-ideas.blogspot.com/2013/05/everything-swimming-swim-briefs-life.html
Here are links to a variety of "adapted" swimwear options (some are advertised as "adapted" and others are advertised as "mainstream").
1) SwimZip Swimsuits (all tops zip completely open for easy getting in and out; available in sizes from infant through adult; available in tops with varied sleeve lengths): http://swimzip.com/
2) Slip-On Swimsuits for Women (standard 1-piece suits that are much easier to get in and out of each time): http://www.swimmingsupply.com/swim_wear_women_/slipon_swimsuits_for_women/
3) Sprint Aquatics Therapy Wet Suit (child-sized wet suit that zips up the front): http://sprintaquatics.com/prodinfo.asp?number=896
4) H2O Wear (variety of adult-sized swimsuits and wetsuits, many with zippers; all swimwear is chlorine-resistant; primarily women's swimsuits): www.h2owear.com
Please let me know in the comment section if you have other adapted swimwear "ideas" that have worked well for you, and I will add them to my list!
Happy Swimming! Chrissy Scheer, PT
