Who is this swimsuit designed for?
Surfing is your favourite sport and you surf regularly in warm waters. You surf waves bigger than one metre and you can do tricks. You often wipe out and you are used to being thrown about underwater. You want your swimwear to stay in place with each of your movements and not get in your way when paddling.
Wide, adjustable shoulder straps
We created 1-piece ELEA swimsuit so that young surfer girls can surf without worrying about losing their swimsuit in the waves. Wide, adjustable shoulder straps are the best way to eliminate the need to worry about your swimsuit during a session
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 child’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’ swimsuit 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.
