The difference between 時 and 時は
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I know that it's correct to use は after 時, and it's also correct to omit it. For example:
子供の 時、よく海で泳ぎました。
子供の 時は、よく海で泳ぎました。
How does the meaning of the sentence change when the particle is used and when it's not? This may be a slight change, but still.

@BJCUAI Thank you! So, it's the same thing then... I've just come across the following sentence: 学生の時にもっと勉強しておけばよかったですよ。Here they use ni after toki. Is is the same as ... toki wa...?

Roughly similar to the difference between 'In my childhood' vs. 'As for my childhood'. As with most things it is not directly equivalent, but I think you get the nuance.

No... You say 「～～ときに(or～～とき)…ておけばよかった」"I should have … / I regret that I didn't … when ~~ " eg 「安いときに買っておけばよかった」"I should have bought it when it was cheaper" (← In fact, I did NOT buy it.) but not 「安いときは /安いときには買っておけばよかった」. If you mean "I needed to study more when I was a student, but now I don't need to study hard anymore." (← In fact, I DID study.), you can say 「学生の時は、もっと勉強しないといけなかった。/勉強しなければならなかった。」

子供の時、よく海で泳ぎました。
子供の時は、よく海で泳ぎました。
You might say the latter to imply...
"I used to swim in the sea in my childhood (but now I don't anymore)."
Here, the は is functioning as the contrastive particle (対比の「は」).
You might also say the latter when responding to a question...
"What did you often do in your childhood?"
-- "In my childhood, I often swam in the sea."
Here, the は is functioning as the topic particle (主題の「は」).
You'd say the former to just neutrally state that you would often swim in the sea in your childhood.
