Sizing tips:
1. The suits are fitted, with unisex sizing. For comfort, and so that you get several season's wear, we recommend buying at least one size larger than usual, especially for boys.
2. For babies over 15 months, we recommend the size 3-4 yrs suit. It covers more of your baby, and leaves room for a nappy if required.

UV protection sun hats

These eye-catching sunhats, in the same UPF rated fabrics as the swimwear, give fantastic protection from the sun, to the face, ears and the back of the neck - all extremely vulnerable areas of the body. They can be worn in or out of the water, and dry fast. With a very deep brim, they also help avoid squinting in bright sunlight.
