Product Information
Full details
The Splash About UV Sun & Sea Suit is an essential piece of swimwear designed for active toddlers, offering a reliable blend of thermal warmth and sun protection. Perfect for parents looking to keep their children comfortable during extended play at the beach or pool, it features a 1mm neoprene core for insulation and high-coverage design to shield against harmful rays. While it provides excellent protection and flexibility, parents should note that the back-zip design requires a little extra care when pulling it over a child who is already wiggly from water play.

FAQs
Does this suit provide full UV protection?
The suit provides a high level of protection by covering more skin than a standard swimsuit, but always use sunblock on exposed areas like the face, hands, and feet.
Can this be worn in both pools and the ocean?
Yes, the materials are designed to be durable against both the chlorine found in swimming pools and the salt in seawater.
How should I clean the suit?
Hand wash in cool, fresh water. Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or tumble dryers.
Is the material waterproof?
The suit is designed for swimming, so it will get wet, but it is wind-proof and provides thermal insulation while wet.
What if my child is between sizes?
We recommend opting for the larger size if your child is tall or particularly active to ensure they have enough room for growth and movement.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping the back zipper
Ensure the child is standing straight and the internal fabric guard is not caught in the teeth of the zipper.
Suit feels loose after several uses
Neoprene can stretch slightly over time; ensure you are rinsing with fresh water and laying flat or hanging to dry to maintain the material's memory.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Splash About suit, always rinse it thoroughly in fresh, cold water immediately after every use, especially after chlorine or saltwater exposure. Hang the suit to air dry in the shade, avoiding direct sunlight which can degrade the neoprene. Do not tumble dry, bleach, or iron the suit. When sizing, ensure a snug fit—the suit should be tight enough to provide insulation but not so tight that it restricts breathing or movement. Always inspect the zipper for debris after a day at the beach to keep the track running smoothly.
