Let me tell you about this shark-themed swim set that survived my 7-year-old's 'summer of chaos' - pool parties, beach trips, and even a slip-n-slide marathon. The UPF 50+ protection gave me peace of mind when he refused to reapply sunscreen (because apparently sharks don't need sunscreen).

The recycled fabric dries crazy fast - we'd go from splash pad to ice cream shop without that awkward soggy diaper look. The bright blue color made him easy to spot among a sea of kids, though the shark graphic did convince him he could outswim actual marine predators.

Fit was true to size for my average-built kid, though parents of slender children should note the trunks run long. After three months of abuse (including being used as a superhero cape), the set still looks new - no fading or stretched-out elastic. My only gripe? The drawstring waist became his favorite fidget toy during car rides.

Pro tip: Buy one size up if your child is between sizes or hates snug fits. We'll definitely repurchase next summer - if the sharks don't eat this one first.
