FAQs
Is the suit machine washable?
No, it is recommended to hand-wash the suit in cool water to maintain the fabric's elasticity and UV protection qualities.
Can this suit be worn for all-day sun protection?
Yes, with a UPF 50+ rating, it blocks 98% of harmful UV rays, but remember to apply sunscreen to exposed areas like the face, neck, and hands.
Does it keep the child warm in cold water?
The material is designed to retain body heat, which helps, but it is not intended for use in extremely frigid conditions.
How do I choose the right size?
Use the manufacturer's age-based sizing chart, but consider your child's height and weight as children grow at different rates.
Will the colors fade in pool water?
While the fabrics are durable, chlorine is harsh. Proper rinsing after every swim will significantly extend the life and color vibrancy of the suit.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting the suit on the child
Ensure the child is dry before putting on the suit; skin friction is significantly lower when the suit is pulled on over dry skin.
Fabric appearing faded or worn
This is often due to chlorine buildup; ensure the suit is rinsed in fresh water immediately after leaving the pool.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Splash About wetsuit, avoid abrasive surfaces like rough pool edges or concrete, which can snag the fabric. Compatibility is determined by the specific size of the child; always check the age range (e.g., 2-3 years) before purchasing.
Care instructions:
- Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after every use to remove chlorine or salt.
- Hand-wash with mild detergent if necessary.
- Do not tumble dry, iron, or bleach the suit.
- Always air dry in the shade to prevent UV degradation of the material.
