Product Information

Full details

The Splash About UV Sun & Sea Suit is designed for active children aged 5-6 who spend significant time at the beach or pool. It provides a perfect balance of warmth and UV protection, featuring a 1mm neoprene body that keeps kids comfortable in the water while flexible UPF 50+ side and sleeve panels allow for unrestricted movement. While it offers excellent versatility for all-day wear, parents should note that it is best suited for warmer water conditions rather than deep-sea cold environments.

FAQs

Can this suit be worn all day?

Yes, the design focuses on comfort, making it suitable for all-day play in and out of the water.

Does this provide full-body warmth?

It provides warmth to the core area via the 1mm neoprene, but the arms are designed for mobility and sun protection rather than thermal insulation.

Is the material chlorine resistant?

The materials are designed for use in pool environments, though frequent rinsing with fresh water is required to maintain fabric integrity.

Does the suit protect against jellyfish stings?

While the suit covers significant skin area, it is primarily designed for sun and thermal protection, not as a specialized anti-sting garment.

How should I store the suit?

Store it laying flat in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the neoprene from cracking or the colors from fading.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty zipping up

Ensure there is no sand or salt buildup in the zipper tracks; rinse with fresh water and clear debris.

Suit feels loose in the water

Check that the size 5-6 fits snugly; if it is too large, water circulation will negate the thermal benefit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent sun protection with UPF 50+ rating
  • Lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear
  • Provides just enough warmth for swimming and water play
  • Allows for full range of motion compared to traditional neoprene suits

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme cold water temperatures
  • Polyester panels may be more prone to snagging on rough surfaces than full neoprene
  • Limited sizing for older children beyond the 5-6 range

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Splash About suit, always rinse it with fresh cold water immediately after every use to remove chlorine or salt. Avoid using detergents or bleach, as these can break down the neoprene and UV-protective fibers. When drying, lay the suit flat in a shaded area away from direct sunlight; hanging the suit while wet may cause it to stretch out of shape. Ensure the zipper is clean and free of sand to prevent snagging during future use.
