Fitting wet suits
A poorly fitted wetsuit will be too restrictive if small and impede arm and leg movement. Buying a large 'grow into it' size may seem practical but if too loose will allow the cold water to 'flush' through the suit and make the wearer uncomfortably cold.
Our surfing wetsuits are made in the UK by a specialist wetsuit manufacturer. Our many satisfied customers are testament to the excellent quality and value our wetsuits offer. (Why rent a kids wet suit when you can buy one for less than the cost of a week's rental?)
Kids wetsuits not only help to keep children warm when swimming but also provide extra buoyancy to help build confidence. (However, they should not be considered a buoyancy aid.) Wetsuit materials are flexible and allow easy arm and leg movement while swimming and surfing. The popular 'Shortie' style wet suits are great for children swimming, diving and snorkeling. Full length childrens wetsuits are usually preferred by older children and for greater warmth, especially if you're going to be in or on the water for longer periods. (We've discovered that dinghy sailors prefer the full length wetsuit as it also provides additional protection.)
Wetsuits for toddlers are especially useful, given that younger children can't tell us when they're just too cold to keep swimming! Other specialty swimming lines include our wide range of childrens UV sun protective swimwear.
