Review on Get Your Child Ready For Water Adventures With Seavenger Scout 3Mm Neoprene Wetsuit by Joe Duncan

My tiny, petite little daughter with not an ounce of body fat on her was getting ready to quit her swim team, even though she loves swimming. However, with no bodily reserves to speak of, and the cold water temps necessary for lap swimming at practice, it had begun to be too much. In other words, she loves the sport physically, but hates the cold that goes along with it. She would be blue-lipped, shivering, and sometimes crying after a one hour practice. Such a good swimmer though, and hated to see her quit. On a whim, I looked up wetsuits and read through a lot of the reviews on this Seavenger model, which seemed encouraging. I did somewhat discount the likelihood of effectiveness though, thinking that my extremely tiny wisp of a child had a way worse "coldness tipping point" to fight through than the average child wearer of this suit would have. But, worn just once and I can now say it's doing for her what the positive reviews said it did for other kids. She got out of the pool at end of practice (one hour) with an animated face and proclaimed herself "so warm." Amazed! Well Worth it to be able to continue participation in a sport we may have otherwise had to say goodbye to! She and her coaches both felt it did not hinder her stroke execution. It's a little hard to get on (two person job) but that's a pretty small factor against its big benefits for us. The neck also felt a bit tight to her but it seems like I could loosen that by not fastening fully. Otherwise, a great fit as a size 8 for a very small for her age 11 year old child. And a most useful product for our purposes.
