Full details

FAQs
What age group is this swimsuit for?
This swimsuit is designed for kids. The specific size mentioned is 9-10 years, but it is available in various other sizes for different age groups.
How effective is the sun protection?
The swimsuit offers UPF 50+ protection, which is considered excellent and blocks a significant amount of harmful UV radiation.
What is the fabric composition?
The swimsuit is made from 85% Polyester and 15% Elastane, providing durability, stretch, and quick-drying properties.
Is this swimsuit suitable for competitive swimming?
The racer-back design and stretch fabric are designed for ease of movement, making it suitable for recreational swimming and active water play. For highly competitive swimming, specialized suits might offer more specific performance features.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the Regatta sizing chart for children's swimwear. Ensure the swimsuit fits snugly without being uncomfortably tight, allowing for movement.
Can this swimsuit be machine washed?
It is recommended to hand wash the swimsuit gently with mild detergent. Machine washing on a delicate cycle might be possible but could reduce the lifespan and integrity of the fabric and its protective qualities.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit feels tight or restrictive
Ensure the correct size has been selected. The fabric has stretch, but if it feels overly tight, a larger size might be needed. Always refer to the size guide.
Color fading after a few uses
This can occur with prolonged exposure to strong chlorine or sunlight. Always rinse thoroughly after each use and dry flat out of direct sunlight. Consider using a swimwear-specific detergent.
Stitching coming undone
Inspect the stitching. For minor issues, a tailor might be able to repair it. If the stitching failure is significant, contact the retailer or manufacturer regarding warranty.
