FAQs

Does this suit provide full-body sun protection?

The suit features UPF 50+ panels on the sides and sleeves and a high neckline for targeted protection, but exposed areas should still be covered with sunscreen.

Can this be used in chlorinated pools?

Yes, it is designed for use in both pools and the sea, though rinsing it in fresh water after use is essential.

How do I choose the right size?

Select the size based on the UK children's sizing guide provided (e.g., 5-6). It should fit snugly without being restrictive.

Is the material comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes, the soft polyester is designed for high-activity, all-day comfort while playing on the beach.

Should I apply sunscreen under the wetsuit?

While the fabric provides excellent UV shielding, it is recommended to apply sunscreen to any skin not covered by the suit.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty zipping up the suit

Ensure the child is standing straight and the internal protective flap behind the zipper is not caught in the track.

Fabric feels stiff after swimming

This is often caused by chlorine or salt buildup. Soak in fresh water for 15 minutes and rinse thoroughly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-level UV protection (UPF 50+)
  • Durable and soft polyester construction
  • Easy to put on and take off with the back zip
  • Provides both thermal warmth and wind protection
  • Encourages movement with flexible side panels

Cons

  • Not suitable for use in extreme cold water temperatures
  • Requires careful rinsing after salt or chlorine exposure
  • Size availability depends on specific color variant

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the most out of your Splash About suit, ensure the size corresponds correctly to your child’s current height and build. For care, always rinse the suit thoroughly in fresh, cool water immediately after use to remove chlorine, salt, or sunscreen residue. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, as these can degrade the UPF protection properties of the fabric. To maintain the elasticity of the polyester, allow the suit to air dry in the shade rather than placing it in direct, intense sunlight or a tumble dryer. When zipping, ensure no skin or swimwear fabric is caught in the teeth to maintain the longevity of the zipper mechanism.
