Little Swimmer giveaway NOW CLOSED

Last year we spent a week in Cornwall. As it was August, I was hoping we'd still have a chance to dip in the sea. Alas, the weather was more of the coat & scarf on variety. I suppose, a typical British summer, to some extent. I bought this cute little swimming costume for my son Eddie, but it never left the suitcase, and still has all the tags attached to it.
As in one year Eddie has grown up considerably, this outfit won't be good for him, we'll have to buy a new one (wishful thinking on my part, that this year we'll grab some sun by the sea).
This product has been specifically designed and manufactured from a material which provides UVA + UVB protection. It comes in size 1-1 and a half years (80-86cm).
It was sold as a swimming suit for boys, but I don't see why a girl who is not into pink cannot wear it.


I'd be delighted to offer this swimwear to a little boy who might put it on and enjoy a bit of sunshine on the beach, or wear it in the swimming pool.
To be entered in the draw please follow two simple steps:
1. Answer the question by leaving a comment below this post
+
2. Leave a comment on any other post.
Only people who will do both steps will be entered in the draw. I love reading comments, so please indulge me, you can choose any older post to leave a comment.

You do not have to follow my blog to be entered in the draw. If you decide to follow my blog, I will be thrilled, of course.
Please leave me some means of getting in touch with you if you win: your Twitter name, or forum name (if you come from any of the comping forums), if you use a Blogger, make sure there is an email address in your profile. I ask about it every time I do a giveaway, and still quite a few people don't leave any means of contact. Please make sure you do!

And the question is (pick any): who is the little swimmer in your life you'd like this swimming suit for? Will you be taking him on holidays abroad or in the UK? or will he be wearing it in the swimming pool?

Good luck, everyone!

I will pick a winner from all the entries after 7 June 2012.

    I would love to win this for my son - we've been in the paddling pool all day today - the weather has been gorgeous! He'd probably just wear it here as I don't think we're going to be going on holiday anywhere any time soon :)

  38. I would love to win this for my 18 month old little boy. He's never been swimming before because he's had severe eczema since being a few months old and we haven't wanted to aggravate it more. However, we're finally getting on track with his skin now after months and months of different treatments and cutting different foods out of his diet! His sister goes swimming at our local hotel's pool every week so he can't wait to start tagging along!

  40. My brother is tahing his little terror on a Med holiday this year. To say he is hyperactive is an understatement. Keeping sun block on him will be a nightmare. However with this little swimsuit most of his sensitive areas would be covered and protected. The remaining areas would be easier to keep covered with sun block and as sun block is expensive this would also cut the costs. So all in all it would reduce stress, reduce cost and reduce the risk of having a crying red lobster boy ruining their holiday. I think more than essential requirements for a toddlers swimsuit. @myrjp56
