Swim Pants

Swimming with a special needs child can be tricky, especially when they are incontinent.   In a swimmer I look for contain-ability and clean-ability.  So for as long as I could squeeze Owen into them he wore Huggies swim pants because they ticked both boxes.   Here are some swimmers I have tried on Owen.

Look like normal swimmers, strings to tighten to ensure contain-ability and often preferred by schools.  My only issue is when there is an accident and clean up is required there is no easy way to take them on and off.  You can get these from Theraquatics.  There is a very similar version made by Bokers that you can get them from Independence Australia

I really like these ones, they are designed to go under a swimsuit, have velcro so getting the right tightness for containment is easy and work like a nappy cleanup wise.   You can get these from Independence Australia  and Theraquatics

Swimmates:
These are disposable swim nappies, so they go under your swimsuit.  I found a bag of 22 for $44 (including delivery) on ebay.  Theraquatics sell them for pack for $28 (plus delivery if you live out of town) .  So they are a little expensive but the ease of clean-up makes it worth it.  Plus, I have managed to dry them and re-use them when there has been no accidents at home.  Not sure if you are techinically supposed to but I did


Here are some links to some swimsuits I haven't tried.

Note: I am in no way affiliated with any of these stores.  You may find them cheaper elsewhere.

Good Luck
