XXS adult works for kids.
Sizing an adult XXS for a 55lb 7 year old kid felt to me like a roll of the dice. Speedo's own website only says XXS is a 35" chest, 29 waist, and 33" hip. That is still large for any kid and not perfectly helpful. But we were aiming for a slightly oversize item to give us the maximum number of growing seasons. I think we picked the right size. The overall length cis still above the ankles when standing and the arm sleeves are slightly longer than my child's, enough to cover hands if desired but short enough to be able to easily pull up the sleeves. Bottom line, I received zero complaints after the first post-swim team use on a 40 degree evening. My kid was warm. It clearly provides excellent body heat retention and the extra arm length means a kid's hands and fingers can go turtle-mode to stay warm all over.

Gives me incentive to swim in the cold
I got this so I could walk to the pool in our condo. I live in SoCal so I get that it’s not that cold, but it takes the edge off walking to the pool in my swimsuit in 55 degree overcast afternoons. There’s a neat not-so-little pocket just inside the left chest flap that can easily fit your cell phone and house keys. Outside pockets aren’t really large enough to take my slim water bottle, but it mostly stays put. The inside lining doesn’t absorb water very well, but I use a towel to quickly dry down first then put this on and it retains my body heat nicely. I originally debated over getting this versus the The Great Aussie Swim Parka that had a terry towel lining and would have eliminated the need to bring a towel, but I’m glad I got this one instead. The Aussie Parka logo was pretty gaudy so vanity prevailed. But in hindsight, I didn’t want to walk around with a damp towel lined jacket and wet hair. The quality and look of this one turned out nicer than I thought. Happy with this purchase.

Not Unisex and cheap
It is not unisex. The plastic on the outside is cheap. The fleece is thin and not luxurious. There is one by TYR that is WAY better and the same price.

Perfect
A most excellent swim parka: Excellent quality, simple but attractive design, so plush inside. All the qualities other reviewers mentioned. I was not disappointed. Now, there seems to be confusion in terms of which size to purchase. So, here is another pointer: I am 5'4", 141 lbs, 40" at the widest part of my hips. I bought the Medium (after reading all the reviews) and I am glad I did. The parka fits just right in the body section (no room to expand though) , the sleeves are very long reaching to the tips of my fingers but that's fine, length on me is to mid-calf. The small size would have been way too tight. I would not mind if it were a bit wider but I think the L on someone my size would have been too big unless one prefers it that way so that one can skip the zipper and fold in the front sections like a robe. I cannot do that with my Medium size. You decide what is good for you but this is an excellent product.

Perfect for getting in and out of the pool
Perfect for getting in and out of the pool. Ordered the xxs for my 8 year old son. It’s a little big but I think that just means room to grow. At least this way he can use it longer.

Keeping Me Warm
I swim year round and in cooler days this parke welcomes me when I get out of the pool. I’m covered up if I stop to get gas or head to the coffee shop. Once I’m home I hang it up to dry and it’s ready for the next swim day. I’m 5’8” and 170 lbs. I bought the large and might have been fine in the medium. It stops the wind and soaks up the pool water inside.

Good for summer but not our cold weather Waterpolo games ...
The jacket was thinner than expected. So it's not as warm as other jackets have been in the past. Good for summer but not our cold weather Waterpolo games and practices.

Can't beat Speedo
10 y/o daughter. Purchased size small. I knew it was going to be big but purchased it for the length and with the intention of her growing into it. It's not crazy, ridiculously big though. It's hard to find any 10 and under with a parka that they're not swimming in but roll the sleeves and you're good to go. I had a lot of back and forth with the sizing so if you're looking for advice on x-small or small, just get the small.

Muy buena compra.
Llegó muy rápido, está muy bonita, mido 1.52 y peso 58 kg y aun así la talla chica me quedó un poco grande pero está bien, es para ir a la alberca.Tiene un pequeño defecto, cuando salgo de la alberca mojada el forro interior se me pega de abajo. Es lo único "deficiente" que le encuentro. Parkas solo había visto más caras. la relación precio - beneficio, es muy buena y supera expectactivas.

essential for my daughter to shelter the chilly winter in this pandemic time
Due to the pandemic, she has to either practice at an outdoor pool, or do dry land exercise outside before entering facility. This parka is essential when chilly and rainy winter is getting closer in BC. As a reference for sizing, she is 155cm tall, and I bought size S. a bit wide on the shoulder but the length is perfect to cover her. also allow some growth room.

Muy ajustada la talla
Dice que es unisex pero es más bien para cuerpo masculino, la tuve que devolver porque estaba demasiado ajustada de la cadera para mi mamá y no le quedó de la cadera.

Great fit and quality
My son uses it after swimming practice. We ordered Large and it perfectly fits. Lots of room but not too bulky. Keeps him warm and dry. Quality of material and stitches is very good. My son's height is 173 cm or 5'9, average swimmer body.
