Rashguard Sizing Guide

Every participant receives one rashguard/sunshirt on their first day, and it must be worn every day of the program. Choosing the right size ensures your child stays comfortable during all activities.

How to choose the right size

Rashguard sizes generally match standard kids' T-shirt sizes: a size 8 T-shirt corresponds to a size 8 rashguard. For a looser fit, we recommend sizing up one size. You'll select your child's rashguard size during registration at checkout.

How they fit

Rashguards are designed to be lightweight and snug-fitting so they move with the body, making them ideal for water activities like surfing, boogie boarding, and swimming. If your child prefers beach play and won't be in the water as much, a looser fit may be more comfortable.

What if it doesn't fit?

Don't worry, we'll have extra sizes available for exchange on the first day.

Why rashguards?

  • Sun protection: Shields your child from harmful UV rays all day.
  • Comfort: Reduces skin irritation for worry-free play.
  • Safety: The bright, distinctive color makes it easy for our coaches to quickly identify BeachSports participants on the beach and in the water.

Need an extra rashguard?

BeachSports provides one rashguard per summer. Additional rashguards are available at shop.beachsports.com.
