Ocean Sports, for all your watersports needs.

Looking to keep your child warm whilst they learn to gain water confidence in the local pool? We would recommend the O'Neill range of childrens shorties, not only will they keep them warmer but will also offer some buoyancy! 
 

Wetsuits

We have a large selection of CIC, TWF and O’NEILL wetsuits in stock, as well as Dive suits by Mares and Dry suits by Typhoon. We also sell wetsuits by Alder, Camero, Jobe and Crewsaver.

How they work

A wetsuit creates a barrier against the elements using the insulating properties of neoprene. By trapping a layer of water between you and the wetsuit, your body is able to heat the water up and thus keep you warmer. However, the looser the fit the less effective your wetsuit will be as more water will be able to circulate around your body. Your wetsuit should be a snug fit all over but comfortable to wear as well. However, from our experience we find that customers prefer childrens wetsuits to be about one size bigger as:

a) They last longer

b) They are easier to put on.

This last point should be borne in mind if you are considering a childs full wetsuit as small, flexible legs and neoprene do not mix very well! If a wetsuit is a bit loose or you need some more insulation you can always wear a T Shirt, rash vest or thermo vest underneath.  Wetsuits come in a range of thicknesses  from 0.5mm upwards. As a general rule >1.5mm tend to be for use under a standard wetsuit or for surface sport use abroad. 2mm - 3mm tend to be for summer surface use only. 3mm - 5mm winter surface use or dive suits abroad. 5mm + tend to be dive suits (although we recommend 7mm for UK diving.) The main point to consider is that the thicker the wetsuit the less flexible it will be.  All wetsuits also offer some UV protection.
