Sunsuits for an 11 year old?

swimeezy

Hi
We run sunsuits up to 14 years old. The larger sizes are 9/10, 11/12 and 13/14 yrs. Styling is similar to a wetsuit with a front zip for easy removal.
Some kids prefer to wear a rash top with a pair of jammers. These are available at www.swimeezy.com
Hope this helps

Hi,

This is probably a bit late to reply to this message but I was a bit concerned about using the standard T-Shirt suggestion as T-shirt fabric when wet can have a much reduced UPF (sun protection factor) - up to half that of a dry T-shirt according to Cancer Research UK. The UPF swimwear is made of special material with a rated UPF factor which provides maximum protection. For further details see the SunSmart campaiagn run by Cancer Research UK - it is excellent:

I am paranoid about my kids burning (me and the kids are very fair skinned and freckly) and I bought excellent sun protection clothing from www.sunprotectionstore.co.uk which has sunshirts and boardshorts in UPF 50+ up up to age 14. Unlike the suits, my son liked it (age 10) as it looked like surf wear not sunsuits which he refused to wear years ago so he was quite happy. It wasn't really cheap but it was good stuff, wore well and he was happy to wear it so I thought it was worth paying for.

I know that the original thread was earlier on this year but may help others.

I bought a sun suit for my daughter out of Sportsworld (Donnay Sports) for under a tenner earlier this year.
