Frequently Asked Questions
How thick is the Kids Shorty Wetsuit?
It is made from 2.5mm neoprene. That is warm enough for lessons in cooler pools and for the beach, while staying light and easy for children to swim in.
What ages does it fit?
It comes in three sizes: S for roughly 4 to 6 years, M for 6 to 8 years and L for 8 to 10 years. Check the size guide above against your child's height and weight rather than age alone.
Is it suitable for swimming lessons?
Yes. The short sleeve and short leg cut keeps children warm without restricting arm and leg movement, so it works for lessons, beach days and holidays.
How easy is it to get on and off?
It has a full front zip, so children can get in and out quickly with far less struggle than a back-zip suit.
How do I look after it?
Rinse in cool fresh water after every swim, then hang it to dry in the shade away from direct heat. Do not machine wash, tumble dry or iron.
Will it keep my child warm enough?
As a guide, a 2.5mm shorty suits water temperature of roughly 20°C and above — an indoor pool where your child feels the cold during lessons, or the sea in high summer. For colder open water, a thicker full-length suit is the better choice.
Should I size up for growing room?
Better not to. A wetsuit works by trapping a thin layer of water against the skin, which the body then warms.
A suit bought too big flushes cold water through as your child swims, so pick the size that fits now.
