FAQs

What material are the Regatta Kids Skander Swim Shorts made of?

They are made from 100% recycled polyester, which is lightweight and quick-drying.

Are these swim shorts suitable for very young children?

This specific model is listed for ages 5-6 years. Regatta offers other sizes in the Skander range for different age groups.

Do these shorts offer UV protection?

These swim shorts are designed for comfort and quick drying. They do not offer significant UV protection and are best used for swimming and general play, not prolonged sun exposure without additional sun protection.

How should I wash these swim shorts?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Do not bleach or tumble dry. Rinse with fresh water after use.

Can my child collect items in the pockets?

Yes, the side pockets are suitable for carrying small, light items like shells or small toys.

Are these suitable for competitive swimming?

No, these are casual swim shorts designed for comfort and leisure, not for competitive swimming where specialized, form-fitting suits are required.

What is the main benefit of the recycled polyester material?

Using recycled polyester supports sustainability efforts by repurposing materials that would otherwise go to waste.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure the elasticated waistband is not twisted and that the correct size has been purchased. Refer to the size guide if unsure.

Colour fading significantly

Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after each use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use and avoid harsh detergents.

Pockets feel restrictive

The side pockets are designed for small, light items. Avoid overloading them to maintain comfort and shape.
