FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this wetsuit?

The primary purpose is to provide warmth and protection for children during water activities, allowing for greater comfort and freedom of movement.

What is the thickness of the neoprene?

The wetsuit is 2.5mm thick, offering a good balance of insulation and flexibility for temperate water conditions.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the size guide provided by the manufacturer, paying close attention to chest, waist, and height measurements. A snug fit is crucial for performance.

Can this wetsuit be used in chlorinated pools?

Yes, it can be used in chlorinated pools, but it is essential to rinse it thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use to prevent chlorine damage.

Is this wetsuit suitable for very cold water?

The 2.5mm thickness is best suited for mild to temperate water. For very cold conditions, a thicker wetsuit or additional thermal layers may be necessary.

How should I clean the wetsuit?

Rinse with fresh water after each use. Hand wash gently with mild soap only if necessary, and always dry flat away from direct heat or sunlight.

Does the wetsuit come with a warranty?

Information regarding warranty is typically found on the manufacturer's website or the product packaging. Please refer to those sources for specific details.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit is difficult to put on.

Ensure the child is dry. You can use a small amount of talcum powder or a wetsuit lubricant on the skin to help it slide on more easily. Check that the zipper is fully open and the seams are aligned.

Water flushing into the wetsuit.

Ensure the wetsuit is the correct size and fits snugly, especially around the neck, wrists, and ankles. Adjust the high-neck fastening if needed. Check that the back zipper is fully closed.

Chafing or skin irritation.

Ensure flat seams are properly aligned against the skin. Consider wearing a rash vest underneath for added protection. Ensure the fit is not too tight, which can also cause irritation.

Material smells strongly after use.

Rinse thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use. If odor persists, hand wash gently with a wetsuit-specific shampoo or a very mild soap and rinse well. Ensure it dries completely in a well-ventilated area.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides good thermal insulation with 2.5mm neoprene.
  • Dries quickly, reducing post-swim chill.
  • Designed for a comfortable, non-restrictive fit.
  • Durable construction with flat seams to prevent chafing.
  • Easy for children to manage with an extended zip pull and pull-on design.

Cons

  • May require careful sizing to achieve the best fit.
  • Limited pocket space.
  • Best suited for moderate water temperatures, not extreme cold.
  • Neoprene can eventually degrade with prolonged sun exposure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This wetsuit is a pull-on style with an extended zip pull at the back for easy donning and doffing. Ensure the child is comfortable and has adequate space to put it on. The adjustable high-neck can be secured for a snug fit.

Compatibility:

This wetsuit is designed for water sports and general water activities. It is compatible with most swimwear worn underneath if desired, though it is designed to be worn on its own. It is suitable for use in saltwater and freshwater.

Care:

  • Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cold water after each use to remove salt, sand, and chlorine.
  • Hand wash gently with mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners.
  • Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  • Dry flat or hang loosely away from direct sunlight and heat sources, as prolonged sun exposure can degrade the neoprene.
  • Store folded loosely or hung on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place.
