Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Hoku II Long Sleeved Swim Top is designed for active children who need comfortable and protective swimwear for holidays and water activities. Its key benefit is the combination of quick-drying fabric with UPF 50+ protection, ensuring lasting comfort and sun safety. A potential consideration is that it is a long-sleeved top only, and full body coverage may require additional items.

FAQs
What age range is the size 10-11 years suitable for?
The '10' size typically corresponds to a UK children's size 10 years, suitable for children around that age. Please refer to Regatta's specific size chart for precise measurements.
Is this swim top suitable for chlorine pools?
Yes, the fabric is designed for swimwear use, but it's important to rinse it in fresh water immediately after use in chlorinated pools to prolong its lifespan and maintain fabric integrity.
How does the UPF 30+ protection work?
UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) indicates how much UV radiation is blocked by the fabric. UPF 30+ means that approximately 97% of UV rays are blocked, offering good sun protection.
Can I machine wash this swim top?
It is recommended to hand wash the swim top with mild soap to best preserve the fabric's quick-drying and protective qualities. Avoid machine washing and harsh detergents.
What material is the swim top made from?
The swim top is made from a blend of 85% polyester and 15% elastane.
Are matching swim hats available?
Yes, swim hats in matching colours and prints are available, with product codes RKC270 and RKC254.
How should I dry the swim top?
The swim top should be dried flat, away from direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry or iron it.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild soap and rinsing thoroughly. Avoid harsh detergents and fabric softeners, which can affect the fabric's properties. Always dry flat away from direct sunlight.
Sun protection seems less effective
Ensure the garment is properly rinsed after use to remove salt or chlorine. Check the UPF rating is still appropriate; while durable, extreme wear can eventually impact protection. Follow care instructions meticulously.
Elasticity feels reduced
Avoid wringing the garment excessively. Do not expose to high heat (ironing, tumble drying) as this can degrade the elastane fibers. Hand wash and dry flat as recommended.
