FAQs

The suit provides UPF 50+ protection for the areas covered, but standard sunscreen should be used on exposed skin.

Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping up the suit
Ensure the child is standing upright and the skin is dry; verify that no internal lining is caught in the zipper teeth.
Suit feels too tight or constricting
Check that the size 5-6 is correct for the child's measurements; while snug is good for warmth, ensure it does not restrict breathing or circulation.
Fabric discoloration or stiffness
This is often caused by residue from chlorine or salt; ensure you are rinsing with fresh water immediately after every swim session.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Splash About wetsuit remains in peak condition, always follow the care label instructions. After each use, rinse the suit thoroughly in fresh, cold water to remove chlorine, salt, and sand. Never use detergents or bleach, as these can degrade the material. Allow the suit to air dry flat and away from direct sunlight, which can cause the fabric to fade or lose its elasticity over time. When storing, ensure the suit is completely dry to prevent odor buildup.
