Swim shirts for kids designed to screen out uv rays, how well do they work?

Question

I noticed some stores sell swimshirts for kids, some long-sleeved, some short-sleeved that indicate they screen out uv rays. How well do these actually work? Do you also need to wear sunscreen lotion under them or do they work well enough themselves. If you have ever tried these I would appreciate your comments. Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

I know that crazyshirts.com sells kids swim shirts, and those kinds of swim shirts in general will help protect from the sun, but it isn't a guarentee that it will block it all, so the best thing to do is combine the shirts with a very strong sun block.

Don't know if this link will work but it is a UV protected swim shirt that they sell:
