What kind of water temperatures is this suit good for? We're taking a 4 and 6 year old to a beach with 60-65 degreee F water.

That suit should be perfect, my 5 year old wore his earlier this year in 60 degree and cooler water, he is in a short arm short leg suit now that the water is upper 60s I've surfed my entire life in RI and have had lots if suits, this is a great suit for the price

It depends on the childs weight. If the child is between 30 to 50 pounds, it should be fine. I have a couple children over 50 pounds, I got them the youth ski jackets for the pool.

Our pool is 83 degrees and makes entering the pool easier. I believe that you would be too warm. Also the air temperature when you shoulders are out of the water can make a difference. If the sun is out you can be very warm.

You will get wet. The vest is a good option for warmer water. A jacket is good for cooler water. I recommend not buying any item from wetsuit wear house unless you like sewing it yourself.

at least 10 degree's. The water was freezing and I kept the cover on it for two days and it was perfect. Hope that helps.

Yes it will, we have a simple rash guard for medium tempts and short swims but we use this one for longer swims and it keeps her at body temperature. We are in California so the water is warm but the temp gets cold while night swimming. I would recommend it.

Also, it has worked very well for me in 100+ weather. It had kept the water about 80-85°, like bath water.

Should be ok but I would recommend putting a tarp on the sand. As kids run around in the pool the sand may wear out the bottom of the pool.

I have bought 3 of these for my kids, aged 3, 5, and 8 and can say there is room for growth. However you should be aware that the straps are not very "wear friendly", i have had to replace once already after less than 1 year, but then my kids swim almost every day. For my 5 and 8 year old we also bought water friendly fabric and made a mermaid tail for over the fin. Also consider Mahina Mermaid. If you don't mind spending a little extra, they ship globally and have found them to be better mono fins if you are looking for more of a mermaid look.

This should be okay on beach. We use it in a river with young non-swimming kids and they enjoy splashing around in it. They do go on the river in inflatable rafts wearing these and they have worked fine for that as well. The children are never near the water unmonitored in these however.

My daughter is 51 inches and 55 pounds. Very skinny and always freezing. She is wearing a 6 and it works great. It is very tight but they are supposed to be tight though to work the best. She can't get it off herself once it is wet - I have to peel it off of her. I am considering moving her to an 8 because we have had this one for 2 years and it is finally getting worn out from chlorine. But I'm afraid the 8 might be too big. They really need between sizes. Personally at 48 inches I would go with the 6 because you really don't want "grow room" or bulk in a wetsuit.

In my experience, I wouldn't suggest this for a child so young. Look for a vest or suit that will keep them afloat or a ring that goes in the pool.

The lake or pool yes, the ocean might be too rough. We used ours at a lake. The smaller kids liked to flip in it (7 years and younger - but it has more to do with size than age).

Our daughter used it on the beach with good results. I'd say water resistant, not waterproof.

just enough, not a lot , they are not a neoprene wetsuit for long surf in cold waters, but they work well for normal use at the beach for a swim, good also as has 50% UV filter.

I don't know what UV rating they claim, but the only body parts not covered are head, hands, and feet. I usually use a waterproof sunscreen stick like bullfrog to protect my kids' face (ears, nose, cheeks). I'm very pleased with these suits. They're a great value, and the warmth they provide make surfing fun. Being cold is miserable.

It is just a wet suit so the water has to come in the suit against your skin. The purpose behind this suit is to keep you warmer while in the water. That works well...but you will still be wet. Scuba divers use a dry suit that keeps them totally dry but this isn't needed for kids.
