FAQs
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ indicates that the fabric allows only 1/50th of the sun's ultraviolet radiation to reach the skin, providing excellent protection.
Can this be worn in both pools and the ocean?
Yes, the materials are designed to be durable in both chlorinated water and saltwater.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the specific UK sizing (5-6) provided to ensure the best fit for your child's age and height.
Is sunscreen still needed?
While the suit provides excellent coverage, always apply sunscreen to exposed areas like the face, hands, and feet.
Does the suit keep children warm?
Yes, the suit is designed to provide core body warmth, making it easier for children to stay in the water longer.
How should I clean the suit?
Hand wash with fresh, cool water and hang to dry in the shade; never use bleach or a tumble dryer.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping up the suit
Ensure the child is standing still and the fabric is pulled taut across the back before attempting to zip.
Fabric feels stretched or loose
Check that the size is correct for your child; if the suit is too old or has been exposed to high heat, the elasticity may have degraded.
Zipper gets stuck
Check for any sand or salt build-up in the zipper teeth and rinse with fresh water before trying again.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Splash About suit, always rinse it thoroughly in fresh, cool water immediately after use to remove chlorine, salt, or sand. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the protective UPF coating and fabric elasticity. When drying, always hang the suit in a shaded area; avoid direct, prolonged sunlight and tumble drying, which can damage the nylon and polyester fibers. When dressing your child, ensure the zipper is fully closed to provide complete coverage, and check that no fabric is caught in the zip mechanism to preserve the life of the closure.
