Freespirit Kids' Short Wetsuit - Purple

The main purpose is to provide warmth and comfort for children during water activities, allowing them to stay in the water longer by retaining body heat.

This specific listing is for a size 10 (UK). Wetsuits are sized by body measurements, but this generally corresponds to children around 10 years old, depending on their build.

The wetsuit should fit snugly all over without restricting breathing or movement. It should feel like a second skin. Check the brand's specific size chart for accurate measurements.

The 2.5mm neoprene offers moderate insulation. It is best suited for cool to temperate water conditions. For very cold water, a thicker full wetsuit would be more appropriate.

Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and allow it to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area. If the smell persists, a specialist wetsuit cleaner can be used according to product instructions.

The key pocket is designed for small, lightweight keys. For significant security, consider using a waterproof key pouch or leaving keys with a non-swimming adult.

A shorty wetsuit covers the torso and upper thighs/arms, offering less coverage and insulation than a full wetsuit, which covers the entire body.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. A wetsuit should be snug but not restrict breathing or major movement. Refer to the sizing guide and consider if a larger size is needed.

This can happen if the fit is not snug enough. Ensure the seals are flat against the skin. For minor seepage, a rash vest underneath might help. For significant seepage, a different size or model may be required.

Flatlock seams are designed for comfort. Ensure the wetsuit is fully dry before wearing and consider wearing a rash vest underneath for additional comfort, especially during long sessions.

Ensure the wetsuit is properly rinsed and cared for after each use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. If flexibility is severely reduced, the material may be degrading.
