Girls' Cover-Ups for Ages 2 to 8
Girls' cover-ups go on over a swimming costume when she is out of the water, at the pool or by the sea. The sizes run from age 2 to age 8, so the smallest suit little ones just past the baby stage and the largest fit a 7-year-old. A cover-up is loose by design. It slips over a damp costume without a struggle and comes off quickly when she wants to swim again.
Choose the size by her height rather than her age. A 3-year-old usually takes 104 cm and a 6-year-old 122 cm. If she is between sizes, the loose fit means going up one is usually fine. Check each product page for the fabric and the care label for washing. Rinse out salt water and chlorine after a swim day and let the cover-up dry fully before packing it away. For babies or older girls, see the Baby and Teens pages.

Your questions answered
MINOTI cover-ups for girls are loose layers to wear over a swimming costume at the pool or seaside, made for girls aged 2 to 8 in centimetre sizes, with a 6-year-old usually in 122 cm.
Which cover-up size fits a girl who has just turned 5?
A 5-year-old usually takes 116 cm. Cover-ups are cut loose, so if she is tall for her age or you want it to last two summers, 122 cm is a sensible choice.
How should I wash a cover-up after a day at the pool or the sea?
Rinse it in cool tap water the same day, then wash it as the care label says. Salt and chlorine left in overnight can dull the colour, which matters if you hope to hand a 116 cm cover-up down to a younger sister.
