swim shirt

Aquatic sun garment

A swim shirt is a fitted top worn for swimming or water activities, typically made of quick-drying synthetic fabric with UV protection.

Unlike traditional swimwear, it covers the torso and often the arms, offering sun protection and modest coverage: The kids wore swim shirts at the beach to avoid sunburn.

Also called a rash guard, though swim shirt usually implies a looser fit.
