The rashguard is comfortable, but my daughter finds the fit a bit tight around the arms. Otherwise, she likes the bright blue colour and uses it for both swimming and snorkeling.

My son wore the IQ Kids Rashguard Blue Longsleeve for his recent swim lessons, and it fits him well. The material dries quickly and he didn’t complain about any itchiness. Very happy with the protection from the sun as he swims outdoors.
