Product Information
Full details
The Splash About UV Sun & Sea Suit is designed for active children who need reliable sun protection and mild thermal insulation during beach or pool days. Featuring UPF 50+ panels, it provides excellent coverage against harmful rays and wind while remaining more flexible than traditional, thicker neoprene wetsuits. While it excels at providing comfort during extended play, it is intended for sun protection and light warmth rather than use in very cold water conditions where full-thickness neoprene is required.

FAQs
Is this suit made of neoprene?
No, this specific model is crafted from high-quality polyester, which is lighter and more flexible than standard neoprene.
Does this provide full-body sun protection?
The suit features UPF 50+ panels on the sleeves and sides to protect core exposure areas from UV rays.
Can this be worn in chlorinated pools?
Yes, but be sure to rinse it thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use to protect the fabric from chlorine damage.
How do I choose the right size?
Sizes are based on standard UK children's sizing. We recommend checking the size against your child's current measurements for the best fit.
Will this keep my child warm in cold water?
It provides mild warmth and wind protection, but for very cold water conditions, a traditional thicker neoprene wetsuit may be required.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or stuck
Rinse the zipper area thoroughly with fresh water to remove trapped sand or salt crystals and dry completely before re-lubricating with a wax-free zipper lubricant if necessary.
Fabric appearing stretched
Ensure the child is wearing the correct size. Avoid storing the suit on a thin hanger, as this can cause shoulder stretching; store it folded or laid flat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Splash About suit, always rinse it thoroughly in fresh, cool water after every use, especially after exposure to chlorine or salt water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as these can degrade the protective UV-resistant fibers. Hang the suit to air dry out of direct sunlight, as intense UV rays can break down the fabric over time. When dressing your child, ensure the back zip is fully closed to provide a snug fit, and avoid pulling on the seams excessively when the suit is damp to maintain its shape.
