FAQs
What is the primary benefit of this wetsuit?
The primary benefit is keeping children warmer in the water for longer periods, allowing for extended enjoyment of water activities.
What material is the wetsuit made from?
The wetsuit is made from 90% Neoprene and 10% Nylon, providing flexibility, stretch, and insulation.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the Freespirit size guide for children's wetsuits, measuring your child's chest, waist, and height to find the best fit.
Can this wetsuit be used in a swimming pool?
Yes, it is suitable for all water activities, including swimming pools. Remember to rinse with fresh water after pool use to remove chlorine.
Is this wetsuit suitable for very cold water?
The 2.5mm thickness provides good insulation for temperate waters. For colder conditions, a thicker wetsuit or additional thermal layers may be necessary.
How should I clean the wetsuit?
Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cold water after each use. Hand wash gently with mild soap if needed, and always hang to dry in the shade.
Does the wetsuit have a key pocket?
Yes, it features a small, integrated key pocket for convenience.
Troubleshooting
Wetsuit is difficult to put on.
Ensure the child is dry. Lay the wetsuit flat and have the child step into the leg openings. Pull up evenly, avoiding sharp fingernails. A plastic bag over feet can sometimes help slide legs on more easily.
Water leakage around the neck or limbs.
This may indicate an incorrect size. Check that the wetsuit fits snugly but not too tight. Ensure the neck seal is properly closed and there are no large gaps around the arms or legs.
Material feels stiff after drying.
This can happen if the wetsuit was not properly rinsed or dried in direct sunlight. Always rinse with fresh water and dry in the shade. A specialized neoprene conditioner can sometimes help restore flexibility.
