Removable pads
A padded cup is a piece of foam that is inserted into the swimsuit.
So that our customers can decide whether or not they want to keep the padded cups, they are fully removable from the swimsuits.
The wearer is free to add the padded cups or not.
The main idea behind this padding is to protect the modesty of young teenage girls.
The padded cups hide the nipples, which can be seen when the swimsuit is wet.
This is not a pad designed to enhance the body.
underbust band
Designed with a wide band under the bust to ensure a secure fit and to keep the top from riding up during the session.
Wide V-shaped straps
the wide shoulder straps are more comfortable over the shoulders and back. Their V-shape frees up the arms and shoulders, giving you the amplitude of movement you need to paddle without restriction. This sporty design also prevents the straps from falling down during a wipeout or duck dive.
how do girls’ swimsuits fit?
Our swimsuits for young surfers are designed by taking into account their growth. It is for this reason that we systematically associate the kid’s height with the size, as age is not sufficient to ensure the correct size. Two 10-year old girls can be of totally different height, weight and shape and have different measurements. We also recommend trying the swimsuits on if possible.
Our girls’ swimwear sizes
Here is the link between age and height on our swimsuit labels:
8/9 years: from 133 to 142 cm
10/11 years: from 143 to 150 cm
12/13 years: from 151 to 160 cm
14/15 years: from 161 to 169 cm
Dry and wet sizing
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. The swimsuit needs to fit snugly against your body in the fitting room, and you should feel supported. The elastane content in certain components used in the design of our swimsuits softens and relaxes in the water.
How to exchange your swimsuit
Is the size or style not suitable for you? would you like to exchange it at your Decathlon store? No problem, just be sure not to cut off the label of the swimsuit in case you want to exchange it.
