Product Information
Full details
The Splash About UV Sun & Sea Suit is designed for active children who need reliable protection during long days at the beach or swimming pool. Combining 1mm neoprene for core warmth with flexible polyester sleeves and side panels, it offers a perfect balance of comfort and mobility for swimming and playing. While it provides excellent UPF 50+ sun protection and wind shielding, it is best suited for warmer water environments rather than frigid open-water swimming.

FAQs
Does this suit provide full-body warmth?
It provides 1mm neoprene warmth to the core while keeping arms and sides more flexible with polyester, making it ideal for mild to warm water.
Is the UPF rating permanent?
The UPF 50+ protection is woven into the fabric and will not wash off, though it is recommended to replace the suit if the fabric becomes thin or damaged.
Can this be worn in a chlorinated pool?
Yes, but be sure to rinse the suit with fresh water immediately after leaving the pool to prevent chlorine from breaking down the materials.
Is this suitable for a 3-year-old?
Yes, this specific model is sized for children aged 3-4 years.
Does it protect against jelly fish stings?
While it covers the skin, it is primarily designed for sun and wind protection, not as an anti-sting suit.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping the suit up
Ensure the child is dry before dressing and verify no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth.
Suit feels too loose after a few months
Children grow quickly; verify if the child has transitioned into a larger size bracket.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Splash About suit, always rinse it thoroughly with fresh, cool water after every use, especially after exposure to chlorine or salt. Do not wring or twist the material when drying; instead, hang it in the shade to avoid direct UV degradation of the fabrics over time. When putting the suit on, ensure the zipper is fully closed to maintain the intended fit. Store the suit in a cool, dry place once completely air-dried. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, as these can compromise the protective properties of the fabric and the integrity of the neoprene.
