At Decathlon, we design swimsuits for young surfers based on growth. For this reason, a child’s size is typically associated with their height, not their age. as kids of the same age can have completely different measurements. We also recommend trying the swimsuits on if possible.

Girls' swimsuit sizes

Here is the size guide for our girls’ swimsuits:
Age 8/9: 133 to 142 cm
Age 10/11: 143 to 150 cm
Age 12/13: 151 to 160 cm
Age 14/15: 161 to 169 cm

Girls’ swimsuit sizes

To ensure a perfect fit in the water, it is important to choose the right size while you are dry because once they are in the water, swimsuits become looser. We therefore recommend you buy the correct size. Your swimsuit should fit snugly when you try it on in the fitting room. Keep in mind that the elastane in some of our swimsuits softens and relaxes in the water.

Dry sizing and wet sizing

Our swimsuits are designed to stay in place in the waves. our women’s styles are tested by a panel of 12 or more female surfers with different body types. They’re first tested in a pool under simulated surfing conditions, then worn during real sessions in the ocean.

UPF (ultraviolet protection factor) is an international standard that measures  the proportion of UV rays a fabric lets through to your skin.A UPF of 50+ means that the fabric blocks at least 98% of UVB rays and 95% of UVA rays.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

This rash guard reduces chafing against your surfboard or bodyboard. The loose cut of the T-shirt makes it easier to put on and is more comfortable when dry. Choose the fitted 100 or 500 model if you prefer comfort when wet or plan to wear it under a wetsuit. Shown to reduce chafing during 1-hour sessions. If you plan to surf for longer, our 500 UV rash guard with seamless underarm panels is a better choice.

This rash guard has a front loop that attaches to the cord of your swim shorts to keep it from riding up while you surf. Ideal for sessions of up to an hour. For more than 1 hour, we recommend choosing the 500 UV top, which also has a drawstring at the hips for better stability. A rash guard can cause irritation on the lower abdomen if it rides up.

Support system

This rash guard is recommended for use in water temperatures of 22°C and up. Air temperature may affect this recommendation.
Our thermal models are made of fleece, neoprene, or both. We recommend choosing a model made with neoprene if you’ll be out in conditions where the wind exceeds 15 km/h.

Warmth and wind

Our UV T-shirts meet the needs of the most demanding surfers. They’re compatible with many other water sports, including swimming, kitesurfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, water skiing, and stand-up paddle boarding.

Suitable for multiple water sports

Young skin is very sensitive to the sun, particularly before age 3. UV rays are two to three times more harmful to children than to adults, so it’s essential that kids wear proper sun protection.

Kids and UV rays

This top is UV-resistant, but it doesn’t provide total sun protection. Consider other factors like reflections (off water, sand, etc.), temperature, and time of day. Wearing this top is just one part of staying safe in the sun. You should also wear sunglasses and a hat or cap, apply sunscreen regularly, and drink plenty of water.

The swimsuit included in the kit was designed using a Minimal Waste Design process.

MWD means thinking differently about how a product is designed, right from the first sketch. The idea is to optimise all the pieces of fabric needed, to fit them together as well as possible in order to reduce material consumption and waste when cutting. Like a jigsaw puzzle! Today, we’re proud to be able to offer you this product designed using this method.

Minimal Waste Design, a new design method

Water-Repellent

It’s important to remember that no swimming cap is 100% waterproof!
Water can seep underneath, especially around the ears. This cap protects from splashing.

How waterproof is a swimming cap?

Fabric composition:
Made of a swimsuit-type fabric that is easy to get on/off without pulling at your hair. Finishing seams around the head to ensure the cap remains in place.

Coated fabric:
A comfortable mesh cap. It is coated with a layer of silicone that reduces leaks and elasticity, providing a close fit.

Silicone: 
Silicone is less comfortable but highly elastic to guarantee a close fit and prevent water from leaking into the cap.

How to choose swimming cap material 

There are several alternatives to standard swimming caps to suit everyone’s needs:

- brush caps: made of a highly stretch mesh.
- waffle stitch caps: made of latex, can be put on without pulling at your hair.
- volume or extra volume caps: the shape of these silicone caps provides more room for full hair.

- moulded or shell swimming caps: these silicone caps are made for competitive swimming.

- neoprene caps: perfect for open-water swimming.

Are there any other types of swimming caps?

The silicone cap is very stretchy and resistant to stretching, but it is sensitive to snags. So be careful when putting it on, especially with nails and barrettes.

If the cap catches on your hair, dust with talcum powder before putting it on!

S, M, L, one size… which is the right size for me? 

The choice is quite simple: fabric and coated mesh caps are available in different sizes (S, M, L), while silicone caps are available in only one size, because they are highly elastic.

To choose the right size, follow our short guide to head sizes:
- XS: 50–52 cm (19.7–20.5 in). (available in the range for babies)
- S: 53–56 cm (20.9–22.0 in).
- M: 56–59 cm (22.0–23.2 in).
- L: 59–62 cm (23.2–24.4 in).
- One size: 53 to 62 cm (20.9–24.4 in).

How to choose the right swimming cap size

Did you know? There’s a right and a wrong way round to wear a swimming cap!

Swim caps have a central band from the front to the rear. The line of the fold of silicone caps (visible when the cap is flat) is in the same direction as that of the preceding caps.

Then join your hands and put them inside the cap. Stretch out your hands and fingers to create enough space to put the cap on.

At the front, the cap must be worn about one finger above your eye brows. 

How to put on your swimming cap

For two reasons. 

First, by wearing a swim cap, you protect the environment in which you are swimming. By retaining your hair, the cap protects the quality of the water and facilities by protecting the hygiene of the pool or waterway. 

Second, caps also protect you! Caps protect your hair against the harm caused by water, chlorine (or other treatments) and salt (or other pollutants).
