FAQs
What age group is the 9-10 years size suitable for?
The '9-10 Years' size is typically designed for children within that age range, but it's always best to consult the specific Regatta size chart for precise measurements to ensure the best fit.
How effective is the UPF 50+ protection?
UPF 50+ is the highest rating and means the fabric will block over 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, providing excellent protection for the skin covered by the garment.
Can this swim top be worn for activities other than swimming?
Yes, the lightweight, quick-drying, and UV-protective properties make it suitable for any outdoor water-related activity, such as playing on the beach, paddleboarding, or boating.
Is this swim top a flotation device?
No, this swim top is not a flotation device. It is designed for sun protection and comfort in the water. Adult supervision is always required for children in or near water.
How should I wash the swim top?
Hand wash or machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Rinse in cool, fresh water after use. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron.
Are there matching swim hats available?
Yes, Regatta offers matching swim hats (models RKC270 & RKC254) that complement the Hoku II swim top's design and color.
What is the material composition of the swim top?
The swim top is made from a blend of 85% polyester and 15% elastane, which contributes to its quick-drying and comfortable stretch properties.
Troubleshooting
Swim top feels tight or restrictive
Ensure the correct size has been purchased. Check the size guide provided by Regatta. For a looser fit, consider sizing up if preferred, though this may affect optimal sun protection coverage.
Fabric losing elasticity over time
Follow care instructions carefully, especially regarding washing temperatures and avoiding harsh detergents or bleach. Rinse thoroughly after each use.
Sun protection seems less effective
Ensure the garment is clean and free of obstructions like sand. Check that the fabric is not overly stretched or worn, which can reduce UPF effectiveness. Remember, UPF protection applies to covered areas only.
