Female Water Polo Suit Size Guide

Female Water Polo Suit — Size Guide

Water polo suits fit tight — that's correct. A competition fit is snug so opponents have nothing to grab, and the suit relaxes slightly in the water. Our suits run smaller than everyday clothing, so always choose by your body measurements (bust, waist and hip in cm), not your usual clothing size.

The letter alias is a rough guide only — our sizing runs smaller than everyday clothing, so please go by your bust measurement first.

How to measure

  • Bust: around the fullest part of your chest, under the arms.
  • Waist: around the narrowest part of your waist.
  • Hip: around the fullest part of your hips and seat.
  • Torso (girth): from the top of one shoulder, down your front, through the legs and back up to the same shoulder — one full loop. If your torso is long for your bust size, go one size up.
  • Keep the tape snug but not tight, and level all the way around.

Getting the fit right

A note on our fabric: our 320g poly-spandex has noticeably more stretch than the PBT fabric used by imported brands, so the chart gives a competition-snug fit in our fabric.

  • Competition: choose your true size from the chart — it should feel very snug when dry.
  • Ultra-tight elite fit, or coming from a PBT suit (e.g. Turbo)? Go one size down — our fabric stretches more, so a size down gives the locked-in feel a PBT suit gives at true size.
  • Training / comfort: go one size up for a more relaxed fit.
  • Between sizes? For competition take the smaller; for comfort the larger.
Junior swimmers: as a rough age guide only — 22 ≈ 5–6 yrs, 24 ≈ 7–8 yrs, 26 ≈ 9–10 yrs, 28 ≈ 11–12 yrs, 30 ≈ 13–14 yrs. Children vary a lot at the same age, so please measure bust, waist and hip and choose by the numbers rather than by age.

Care

Rinse in cold water after every session. Cold-water wash, do not soak, do not bleach, do not iron, cool tumble dry only, and wash dark colours separately.
