Product Information
Full details
The Splash About UV Sun & Sea Suit is designed for active children who need a reliable mix of warmth and sun protection while playing at the beach or pool. Featuring a neoprene core for thermal regulation and a high neckline for shielding against harmful UV rays, this suit keeps little ones comfortable during extended water play; however, caregivers should note that while it protects against wind and sand, it does not replace the need for additional sunscreen on exposed limbs.

FAQs
Does this suit provide full sun protection?
The suit provides excellent coverage for the torso and neck, but you should always apply sunscreen to arms, legs, and the face.
Can this be used in the ocean?
Yes, it is suitable for both pool and beach use, though you should rinse it with fresh water immediately after exposure to salt.
How do I determine the right size?
The suits are sized by age ranges. Choose the size based on your child's typical age, but consider sizing up if they are in the upper percentile for their age.
Is the material machine washable?
Hand washing in cool, fresh water is highly recommended to protect the integrity of the neoprene core and the elasticity of the fabric.
Will this suit help my child float?
No, this is a thermal and sun protection suit, not a buoyancy aid or life jacket. Never leave a child unattended in the water.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping the back
Ensure the child is standing upright with shoulders pulled back; if sand is in the teeth of the zipper, rinse it thoroughly under fresh water before attempting to close it.
Suit feels stiff after drying
This is normal for neoprene-blend fabrics; gently stretch the garment with your hands to restore the flexibility of the side panels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Splash About suit, always rinse it thoroughly in fresh, cool water after each use in a pool or the ocean to remove chlorine, salt, and sand. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, as these can degrade the elasticity and UV-protective properties of the polyester and neoprene. When drying, lay the suit flat in the shade rather than hanging it in direct, intense sunlight, which can cause the material to fade or lose its shape. Store in a cool, dry place once completely dry to prevent mildew. The suit is designed for active wear; ensure the size corresponds to your child's age group for the best fit and optimal thermal performance.
