Our design team developed this swimsuit top for beginner girl surfers surfing in broken waves.

BEGINNER SURFER

You have just started surfing or only surf a few times a year. You stay where you can touch the bottom, in tiny waves or broken waves. You surf for the pleasure of being in the water and for the feeling you get from it. During your sessions, you often fall but you fall in waves that are not very powerful. Our design team has developed a wide range of swimwear suited to occasional surfing.

BODY SHAPE

The TEA swimsuit top was designed for the young beginner surfer. This swimsuit is a summer essential for surfing while having fun. Its neck and back adjustments enable it to adapt to the surfer's morphology. The TANIA bottom go well with this swimsuit top.

STAYS IN PLACE IN THE WAVES: THE TEST

We design swimsuits that promise to stay in place in the waves. To test them, we use a panel of at least 12 female surfers with different body shapes who follow a test protocol in a pool at our design offices in Hendaye. This protocol aims to reproduce the sensations experienced by surfers when being thrown around by a wave. If this test is conclusive, we go surfing in the sea to test our swimwear in real conditions.

GIRLS' SWIMSUIT SIZES

At Decathlon, we design swimsuits for young surfers 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 guarantee the correct size. Two 10-year-old girls can be of totally different heights, weights and shapes, and have different measurements. We also recommend trying the swimsuits on in store 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 cm10/11 years: from 143 to 150 cm12/13 years: from 151 to 160 cm14/15 years: from 161 to 169 cm

DRY SIZING 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.

DO YOU WANT 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.
