Boys Zoggs Swimwear

Zoggs' boys range is focused almost entirely on mid jammers, built from recycled fabric and rated by pool hours rather than vague promises. If you want a school and squad jammer that's straightforward and sustainable, this is the simplest option we stock.

Ecolast™ — rated in pool hours

Zoggs' Ecolast™ is made from recycled post-consumer plastic bottles and rated chlorine resistant for up to 250 pool hours. That's a genuinely useful number, because it lets you work out what a jammer will actually give you: a boy swimming three hours a week gets well over a year from it. It's UPF 50+, quick drying, has four-way stretch, and unusually for performance swimwear it's machine washable — which matters more than you'd think when it's school kit. Composition varies across the range. Our swimwear fabrics guide sets it against Speedo Endurance+ and Funky Trunks C-Infinity.

Leg length, and why it's worth checking

Zoggs publishes the leg length on its jammers, which most brands leave you to guess at. A mid jammer sits around 39cm, finishing just above the knee — the standard school and squad training length. If a jammer has ever sat wrong on your son's leg, this is the number to look at rather than just the size.

Most styles have a triangle front lining and a drawstring waist so they stay put through starts and turns.

Getting the size right

Ecolast is polyester-based and holds its shape rather than relaxing into a fit, so buy to his current size. Sizing up to get an extra season generally backfires — a loose jammer drags in the water and slips on dives. Our size charts cover Zoggs alongside every brand we stock.

Common questions

What is a mid jammer?
A mid jammer is a swimming jammer with a leg length of around 39cm, finishing just above the knee. It's the standard training length for school swimming and squad, offering more coverage than an aquashort and less than a long-leg jammer.

How long does Zoggs Ecolast fabric last?
Zoggs rates Ecolast as chlorine resistant for up to 250 pool hours. For a boy swimming around three hours a week that works out to well over a year of regular use, provided the jammer is rinsed in cold fresh water after each swim and dried in the shade.

Is Zoggs swimwear made from recycled material?
Yes. Ecolast and Ecolast+ are made from recycled post-consumer plastic bottles, without giving up chlorine resistance or UPF 50+ sun protection.

Can Zoggs swimwear go in the washing machine?
Zoggs rates its Ecolast fabrics as machine washable, which is unusual for performance swimwear. Rinsing in cold fresh water after each swim and drying flat in the shade will still extend its life considerably.

Is Zoggs good for school swimming?
Yes. The mid jammer cut, drawstring waist and chlorine-resistant Ecolast fabric make it well suited to school swimming programs, lessons and squad training.
