Product description
What it is
The Kanu Surf Girls Waverly Criss-Cross Tankini is a UPF 50+ kids swimsuit designed for active days at the beach or pool. It pairs a supportive tankini top with a criss-cross front detail and a matching bottom, all in a single-piece look that moves with her.
What it’s made of and sun protection

Built from nylon Tricot, the suit emphasizes lightweight comfort and durability. The fabric provides UPF 50+ protection, helping to shield sensitive skin during long days in the sun. The front and back are lined for extra coverage and a smoother feel against the skin, which helps reduce chafing during water play or running around on the sand.
Sizing and completeness
Available in sizes 6 through 16, this style aims to cover a broad range of youth body types. A rashguard and boardshort are listed as matching options, offering a convenient way to extend sun protection and adjust coverage for different activities or weather conditions.



Who it’s for
If you’re shopping for a kid who loves sports or active beach days, this tankini pairs sport-ready styling with practical sun protection. The criss-cross design adds a stylish touch without compromising mobility for swimming, running, or climbing on the boardwalk.

Cons / where it may fall short

How to decide if it’s the right pick
Conviene have in mind its focus on sun protection and active wear. It’s a sensible choice if you prioritize UPF protection and a sporty silhouette. If you’re after a more fashion-forward, minimal-coverage design, this style might feel too utilitarian.
When to buy and when to pause

What to check before buying

- Look for compatible rashguard or boardshorts if you want a coordinated set for more sun protection or varying activity levels.
- Consider washing care expectations, nylon Tricot can be durable but may require gentle cycles to maintain fabric integrity.



Practical usage example
