Full details

The Splash About UV Sun and Sea Wetsuit is an essential piece of swimwear designed for toddlers and young children who enjoy active time in and out of the water. It provides a vital combination of core body warmth and UPF 50 sun protection, making it an ideal choice for parents seeking to protect their child's sensitive skin at the beach or pool. While the suit offers excellent coverage and durability, it is important to note that the snug fit required for thermal efficiency means it should be carefully sized to ensure the child remains comfortable during extended wear.

FAQs

Does this suit provide enough warmth for cold pools?

Yes, the neoprene panels are specifically designed for thermal retention, helping to keep toddlers warmer for longer in cooler water.

Can I machine wash this wetsuit?

It is highly recommended to hand wash the suit in cool water to preserve the fabric's integrity and UPF rating.

How should the suit fit?

The suit should be snug to effectively retain heat and provide sun protection, but it should not restrict the child's ability to move or breathe comfortably.

Is the fabric waterproof?

The material is wind and sand-proof, designed to provide a protective barrier against the elements while remaining comfortable for water play.

Does it offer protection for the arms and legs?

The suit focuses on core, shoulder, and back protection; please supplement with UV-blocking sleeves or hats if full-body coverage is required.

Can this be used at the beach?

Absolutely, the sand-proof and wind-proof properties make it an excellent choice for beach environments.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty zipping up the suit

Ensure the child is dry before putting the suit on, or apply a light dusting of talc to the skin to reduce friction against the wetsuit interior.

Suit feels too tight around the chest or shoulders

Check the sizing guide again to ensure the child has not outgrown the size; if the child is between sizes, it is usually safer to size up for comfort.

Sand trapped inside the fabric

Turn the suit inside out and rinse under a high-pressure tap or hose, then gently shake to dislodge particles from the seams.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent UPF 50 protection reduces the need for frequent sunscreen application on covered areas
  • Provides essential warmth for children who feel the cold in swimming pools
  • Durable fabric effectively resists sand and wind
  • Back zipper design makes dressing and undressing simple for parents
  • Flexible construction supports active movement for toddlers

Cons

  • Requires careful sizing to ensure it is not too tight or restrictive
  • The thermal material may be too warm for use on extremely hot, sunny days if not near water
  • Hand washing is generally required to maintain the integrity of the specialized fabric

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Splash About wetsuit, it is important to follow proper care protocols. After every use in a pool or the ocean, rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh, cool water to remove chlorine, salt, and sand. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, as these can degrade the elasticity and UV-protective coatings of the fabric. Always allow the suit to air dry in the shade, as direct, prolonged exposure to intense sunlight can cause the colors to fade and the material to become brittle over time. When storing, ensure the suit is completely dry to prevent mold or odors, and keep it away from sharp objects that might snag the neoprene panels.
