Why not! He might run on top of the water, but if you want to splash in style, do it with Sonic Swimwear, and hopefully other pool or beach type items to be found on this page. Swim stuff only started to appear after 2018, and really sees a rise in 2023. As more diverse clothing & accessories get licensed, swim gear is a natural progression of cool stuff to wear and collect. So far, this page includes swim shirts and bathing suit shorts. *And pool stuff! So, it will also have pool floats/things specifically for water use.
A rash? Do they mean sun burn? What rash are you going to get at the pool or beach unless you're allergic to something--in which case clothing isn't going to help. Should it be "Sun Guard"? Because that's really what a lot of the new kids tops for swimming are about: keeping the sun off without too much lotion all day.
This set is pale blue and white 2-tone only. The top has running profile classic Sonic, and the pants are 'tiger stripe' with neoclassic jumping twist Sonic on one leg, and "Gotta go fast" on the other. The pale color should help with staying cool, and it gives this set a fresh look.
Which summer swim style do you like best: Sonic with red & blue background, cheering Tails with blue & yellow zig-zag background, or Knuckles with 'flame like' red/yellow/gray background? Or, choose all 3!
Remember: Swim SHORTS like these are for ANYONE who likes the water to wear.
They tend to market toward boys but anyone can wear them. (Ex. a girl could put any of this over a swim suit of any kind, it's just shorts that dry fast and are meant to get wet and not destruct.)
This swim set comes with 3 patches that you can apply 1 at a time to customize the shorts with your favorite character. The thigh area of the shorts can hold a portrait round patch with Sonic, Tails or Knuckles in a yellow ring. Presumably, these stick on there with velcro of some kind. (As that generally doesn't matter if it gets wet)
The shirt has modern Sonic/Tails/Knuckles with streaky blue background, his name, and red sleeves. The shorts are mottled red & blue with horizontal white stripes.
This is kids sizes only, but some of the large may fit teens. It is reasonably priced at 20 dollars on Amazon in Summer 2023.
This is a long sleeve swim shirt for teens and possibly adults. It has all blue sleeves and a dark navy body section with CG ready for action pose Sonic. He's as large as the front of the shirt, and the background is radiating lighter blue lines. This is a sun blocking shirt made of quick dry fabric. It appears on Amazon in spring 2023, and should be about 24 dollars.
Here to hopefully guard against sunburn instead. This one uses classic art, but also has a very retro type of design style. Just 1 big forward-facing classic face for the chest with a checker fade background for the shirt, and that sort of awkward profile stepping/looking Sonic for the shorts. It also uses the classic logo, and some checkering across both shorts legs. This is a kids size only item, and should be at Amazon, but how much is it?
This is for ANY kids: boys or girls get sunburns equally and a shirt and shorts to swim in / go to the beach with would be helpful. It is also reasonably priced at 16 dollars.
This pair is dark blue with navy screen tone type (large) fade of dots from top to bottom. It has classic profile running Sonic on one leg, and his name in the logo font vertically on the other.
This is made of quick-dri fabric and does have pockets. The waist is elastic with drawstring. It's a nice pair for anyone kids/teens size. The Sonic element is large enough, and nothing comes across as too busy. This is 19 dollars.
This is the first Sonic Pool Lounger made. It's a fun thing too, with a stack of characters from top to bottom & a summery gradient for the background. You've got flying Tails, peace signs Amy, jumping twist Sonic & fist up Knuckles. The characters are large, the texture of the float doesn't get in the way of the design, and it seems well put together. If it feels quality too, it'll be a great thing to have. These things can store pretty flat too, if they're well taken care of. This is a factory photo.
It's an Amazon item in summer 2024, and should be about 29 dollars. The shirt and shorts are that 'high spf material' which is nice. This is a boys teens size (so, largest size may fit more people...but probably not regular adults)
Being all pale colors like light blue and white, this is good for when its really hot to swim. The top has profile running classic Sonic, and the shorts have a zig-zag pattern in lighter/darker blue with the slogan on one leg and neoclassic jumping-twist Sonic on the other. All colors used here are various blues. The shorts have draw string waist with elastic.
It's a pretty stylish pair, if you didn't have something similar already. This is a kids/teens item, and should be about 13 dollars.
The classic set is "rash guard" and has classic forward-facing face on red checker fade background. The shorts are more designed/fun ,
So, in a bit of an obtuse way they mean it's a sun-protecting outfit for anyone to wear during outside activities (higher spf fabric, thats why its more expensive at 30 dollars for the set) and you can use the top for swimming too, it's that quick-dry type fabric.
The shirt has CG jumping forward Sonic on a beach, palm trees and sky background. It's an all-over print, including the sleeves where the scene is the entire shirt. The shorts are middle blue, with eleastic/draw-string waist. They have a nice big art of Sonic on one leg, with the logo in white below him. The Sonic content here is good, and the design is appropriately summery.
And, it lives up to the name with lots of classic fun in the design. The shirt has a pixel line art of finger-waving Sonic & his name in a font made of little squares. The shorts have a checkered waist band, added pocket for one leg with Sonic face on it, and the other leg has more line art of him with "Let's Roll" slogan on it too. There's plenty of Sonic content here with the bi-colored shorts legs & nice big designs. This should be about 24 dollars on Amazon in summer 2024
It is a Hot Topic item (possibly exlcusive) and appears in spring 2025. It's called split because it has 1 design for 1 leg, and another for the other. Half is plain black with a nice, large Shadow full color art. The other is red/black checkered, and has his name in yellow at the bottom. The back side of both legs appears to be all black. These are about 33 dollars because it is adults sizes only. The color theme here is good, the art is big, and it's nicely enough designed. A good bathing wear.
Yes, because these are "Aqua Socks" the quick-dri-water shoe for little kids. A water shoe is ideal for unknown surfaces like at a lake or if the beach has prickly shells. These have regular lightweigh foam soles like a normal shoe, but the uppers are made from that textured fast drying kind of puffy fabric. There's a clip to tighten the tops, but they're fairly stretchy. The top of the shoe has a different picture of modern Sonic for each one, and it is a solid plastic/full color piece.
These are at Target, and little kids sizes only. Oddly, they're kind of costly at 33 dollars. Probably no one older than about 8 or so would fit these.
