UV shirts for swimming?

STMs, are the UV shirts for swimming really necessary (especially since she'll be wearing sunscreen)? I have a bathing suit for DD, but now I'm feeling like that was a frivolous purchase and I should've bought her a shirt instead.

    Not sure about girls, but I put sun screen on M & he wears a swim shirt.

    *Side note* M is weird about clothes & he has to have pants or shorts on & a shirt at all times. (Execpt in the tub.)

    She had both. Either way we did sunblock under the suit or the shirt so it didn't make much difference.

    I have boys, so we do the swim shirts. I agree that it depends on where you are and how much time you will be spending in the sun.

    DS always had swim shirts.  I never thought of it for DD.  I bought a Carter 's swimsuit with terry cloth pullover on clearance last summer.  I might take her to the pool after 4pm when the sun isn't so intense and I use a beach umbrella when we go to the lake.  Next summer I will probably get her a UV shirt with swim shorts.

    Thanks for the replies, ladies. I'll probably go ahead and get her one just in case. We plan to go to the pool a lot this summer, and probably during the day.

    I find them to be easier. Swim diaper uv sun shirt. That way I don't have to worry about constantly refreshing sunscreen.

    Bathing suits are cute for shade and pictures.

    I love my DD's swim shirt. We use sunblock as well but it's nice having that extra protection.
