FAQs

Is the suit suitable for the beach?

Yes, it is designed for both beach and pool use, offering protection against wind, sand, and UV rays.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ indicates that the fabric blocks 98% of harmful UV radiation from reaching the skin.

How should I clean the wetsuit?

Rinse with cool, fresh water after each use and hang to dry in the shade. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

Will this restrict my child's swimming?

No, the suit features specifically engineered flexible side and sleeve panels to ensure full range of motion.

Does it keep them warm?

Yes, the premium neoprene core provides insulation to keep the child's body warm in the water.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty zipping the back up

Ensure the internal flap is smoothed out behind the zipper teeth before pulling the zipper up to prevent snagging.

Suit feels stiff or hard after drying

Neoprene can feel stiff if dried in direct sun. Rinse it in cold water and allow it to air-dry in a cool, shaded area to restore flexibility.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides superior core warmth for colder water temperatures
  • Excellent UPF 50+ sun protection coverage
  • Flexible design prevents restricted movement for active children
  • High neck and full sleeves protect against wind chill and sand chafing
  • Back zipper facilitates easy removal for quick changes

Cons

  • Synthetic materials require air-drying which takes longer than standard suits
  • Full coverage design can be slightly more challenging to get on a wiggly toddler
  • Neoprene requires specific care to maintain elasticity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting a child into the wetsuit is straightforward thanks to the generous back zipper opening. To ensure the longest life for your garment, always rinse the suit in fresh, cold water immediately after every use, especially after exposure to chlorine or salt water. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleaching agents. Hang the suit to dry naturally in the shade, as direct sunlight can degrade the neoprene over time. Never iron the suit or put it in a tumble dryer, as heat will damage the integrity of the fabric and the zipper mechanism.
