Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Hoku II kids' swim top is designed for children aged 9-10 who enjoy sunny days by the water. Its key benefit is providing lightweight, quick-drying protection with UPF 50+ sun safety. A potential caveat is that while it offers sun protection, direct sun exposure for extended periods should still be limited and protective measures like sunscreen should be used.

FAQs
What is UPF 50+ protection?
UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, providing excellent protection for the skin it covers.
Is this swim top suitable for chlorine pools?
Yes, the fabric is designed for water activities, but it's recommended to rinse the top in cold fresh water after swimming in chlorinated pools to maintain fabric integrity.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the size guide provided by Regatta for accurate measurements. This guide specifies a UK size of 9-10 years.
Can this swim top be worn for thermal protection?
This swim top is primarily designed for sun protection and comfort in warm conditions. It offers minimal thermal insulation in cooler water.
Does the UPF protection wash out?
The UPF protection is inherent to the fabric's construction and should remain effective for the life of the garment when cared for properly according to the instructions.
Are matching swim hats available?
Yes, matching swim hats are available in complementary colors and prints, with product codes RKC270 and RKC254.
Troubleshooting
Swim top does not feel dry quickly
Ensure the garment is not oversaturated with water and is hung in a well-ventilated area. Excessive fabric softener can sometimes impact drying time.
Discoloration after use
Rinse thoroughly in cold water immediately after each use, especially after exposure to chlorine or saltwater. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use.
Stretching or loss of shape
Avoid wringing the garment excessively. Follow washing and drying instructions carefully; do not tumble dry.
