Main Material

All our UV-resistant rash guards are UPF 50+, meaning they offer maximum sun protection. 
Choose your sleeve length based on your activity. Our line was primarily designed to meet surfers’ demanding needs. 
Choose your rash guard based on the duration of your surf session: 1 hour, 2 hours, or 3 hours.

How to choose your UV protection rash guard (part 1)

1 hour: occasional practice. Choose either a loose fit (easy to put on, comfortable when dry) or a tight fit (comfortable when wet). Look for a loop system so you can fasten the rash guard to your shorts.
2 hours: regular practice. A rash guard with a drawstring and seamless underarm panels will improve fit and comfort in the water.
3 hours: intensive practice. A style with added warmth will let you stay out longer.

How to choose your UV-protection rash guard (part 2 )

This product’s UV-resistant fabric blocks at least 98% of UVB rays and 95% of UVA rays (UPF 50+), guaranteeing effective protection from the sun. Ideal for water sports, it can be worn in or out of the water. 
The density of the textile fibres filters out UV rays for long-lasting protection, even after washing.

UV protection even when wet.

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. Its loose fit makes it easier to put on and 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 UV-protection 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 rash guards 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.

A swimsuit should primarily promote comfort. Offers ease of movement. It is important to choose swimwear shape carefully.

Swim boxers are ideal for those who prefer a shape that provides more coverage than trunks.

Our engineers developed a polyester-based fabric and replaced the elastane fibres with PBT fibres that give it elasticity to ensure user comfort and above all excellent resistance to chlorine. 

The benefits of this PBT thread are:
It dries quickly, 
- Only 3%-4% loss of resistance throughout lifespan
- Even the brightest of colours won’t fade.

Swimsuit material

Products bearing the Aquaresist label are guaranteed to be chlorine-resistant throughout their lifespan. They maintain their elasticity and are UV-resistant. They are recommended for regular and intensive use.

Practice Conditions

BOXER – side height 18.5 cm (in size 10 years)

A swimsuit should primarily favour comfort. It should enable you to move with ease. That is why it is important to choose the shape of your swimwear carefully.

Swim shorts are ideal for those who prefer a shape that provides more coverage than briefs.

SWIMWEAR STYLE

Main fabric: 
- 82.0%  Polyester
- 18.0% Elastane.
Very comfortable and soft with excellent stretch properties.
Chlorinated water can be harmful to swimsuits which are used repeatedly in the swimming pool. The elastane fibre that gives the material its stretch properties and therefore makes it comfortable is also fragile when in contact with chlorine.

If you swim occasionally, this material will be fine for you, otherwise opt for a 100% polyester material.

Very comfortable with excellent stretch properties.

Chlorinated water can be harmful to swimsuits which are used repeatedly in the swimming pool. The stretchy spandex fibre is very fragile when in contact with chlorine.

Material of the swimsuit

For children, comfort comes first! They must be able to move freely and without restraint. Their swimwear must therefore allow total freedom of movement, which is why it’s so important to choose the right model!

Swimming trunks are ideal for kids who prefer a shape that provides more coverage than briefs.

Trunks style

Made to stay in place when surfing gentle waves.

This 2-piece swimsuit has been designed so your child can discover the joys of surfing.

Screen

Your child is starting to surf in very small waves. She stays where she can touch the bottom and is supervised. She wants to have fun in the waves and enjoy new experiences. While learning to surf, she will wipe out in waves that are not at all powerful. We have designed swimwear to suit the body shape of young surfers for a secure fit in the waves.

Beginner surfer

The Boni 2-piece swimsuit has been designed for the budding surfer girl who wants to discover the fun of surfing. She likes a swimsuit that stays in place in the waves. 
The crop-top shape and cross-back straps stay secure in the waves so young surfers need not worry about their swimsuits. The cross-back provides excellent freedom of movement.

Bra and cross-over back

Our swimsuits are designed to stay in place in the waves. Our suits are tested by a panel of 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.

Stays in place in the waves

At Decathlon, we design swimsuits for young surfers by taking into account their growth. That's why we systematically determine a kid’s size based on height, as age does not guarantee correct sizing. Kids of the same age can have completely different measurements. We recommend trying swimsuits on in-store when possible.

Here is the size guide for our girls’ swimsuits: Age 4–5: 105–114 cm (3'5"–3'9")
Age 5–6: 115–124 cm (3'9"–4'1")
Age 7–8: 125–132 cm (4'1"–4'4")
Age 8–9: 133–142 cm (4'4"–4'8")
Age 10–11: 143–150 cm (4'8"–4'11")
Age 12–13: 151–160 cm (4'11"–5'3")
Age 14–15: 161–169 cm (5'3"–5'6")

Our girls’ swimwear sizes

Swimsuits loosen slightly when wet, so it’s important to make sure your swimsuit provides adequate support and feels snug when you try it on. Keep in mind that the spandex in some of our swimsuits softens and relaxes in the water.

Dry sizing and wet sizing

Are you unhappy with the size or style? Would you like to exchange your swimsuit at your Decathlon store? No problem, just be sure to keep the tags on.

UV Protection Factor

Hood

It’s especially important for kids to wear proper sun protection. For identical exposure, the effects of the sun are 2 to 3 times stronger on a child than on an adult. It is therefore important to protect them effectively.

Protection for kids

This T-shirt protects against UV rays, but it doesn’t provide complete sun protection. It is essential to consider other factors such as reflections of the sun (off sand, water, etc.), temperature, and time of day. For example, wear a hat and sunglasses, regularly apply sunscreen, and stay hydrated.
