All measurements are in centimetres. Adults run XS to 2XL and kids are sized by age, 2 to 14. Most Skwosh gear is a regular fit with an elasticated waist, so it is more forgiving than fitted clothing.
Garment measurements are taken flat, unstretched. Waist width is measured straight across the front of the waistband, so double it for the full waist. Compare them against a garment that already fits you rather than against your body.

Sweats, half zips, polar fleece and rashies all use the same XS to 2XL run. Rashies are cut close to the body with stretch, so take your usual size. Sweats and fleece have room for a tee underneath.

Kids sizing is by age, so a 10 year old starts at size 10. Size up if they are tall for their age. The size selector on each product shows exactly what is available for that style.
Where kids sizing stops and adult sizing starts
Kids 12 and 14 fit most early teens, so a 12 or 13 year old is usually still in the kids range. Adult sizing starts at XS. If a teenager sits between the two, adult XS has more length through the body and the leg than kids 14.
How to measure
Lay a garment that already fits flat on a table and measure it with a soft tape, then compare it to the tables above.
-
Waist width — straight across the front of the waistband, unstretched.
-
Armpit to armpit — straight across the chest from one underarm seam to the other.
-
Front length — from the highest point of the shoulder straight down to the hem.
-
Leg height (outseam) — from the top of the waistband down the outside of the leg to the hem.
-
Inseam — from the crotch seam straight down the inside of the leg.

Common sizing questions
Do Skwosh board shorts run true to size? Yes. They are a regular fit with an elasticated drawcord waist, so take your usual size. A size medium measures 41cm across the waist laid flat and fits a 81cm waist.
What sizes do Skwosh board shorts come in? Adults XS to 2XL, and kids 2 to 14 depending on the print.
What chest size is a Skwosh medium tee? A medium measures 54.5cm armpit to armpit laid flat, which is a 109cm chest measured all the way around.
What kids size fits a 10 year old? Kids sizing is by age, so size 10 is the starting point. Size up if they are tall for their age.
What size should a teenager wear? Kids 12 and 14 fit most early teens. Taller teens should take adult XS.
Are Skwosh socks one size? Adult socks come in one unisex size. Kids socks come in two sizes, 9-12 and 13-3, based on kids shoe sizes.
How are rashies meant to fit? Close to the body with stretch. Take your usual size rather than sizing up, because a loose rashie rides up in the water.
Can I match adult and kids sizes in the same print? Yes. Most prints run across both ranges.
