Expert Advice

Adjust the shoulder cuffs so that the wetsuit fits snugly against the body, but the child can still squat, bend forward, and raise their arms as if paddling without restriction. Don’t choose a wetsuit that’s too big “just in case”—a loose wetsuit provides less insulation and can get in the way when moving. After use, rinse the wetsuit with fresh water, let it dry in the shade, and do not dry it directly on a radiator or in direct sunlight.
