children's wet suits

[bglaeser]

any tips on buying a childrens wet suit?

I would think that I would be looking for something easy to put on/take off, durable, will continue to fit a growing child for a number of years, and keeps her comfortable in water down to maybe 55 or 60 degrees.

Oh yes. Fashionable for a girl.

Any thoughts on specific suits etc?
Thanks
Brian

I'm not sure either- I've been looking myself- so, If someone finds out something- I hope they post it here- My 5 yr old is a great swimmer and wants to try spearfishing. I can't find any full suits for her - just 'shorty' suits.

When I worked at a scuba shop, we sold suits from a few different companies for kids, up to 7mm thick.
Buy one that fits her body but has extra length in the limbs and she'll get a few years out of it.
