6. Important Notes

• We recommend using a trackable postage service, as we can’t be responsible for items lost in transit.
• Aqua Element reserves the right to refuse returns that do not meet the conditions above.

Our sizes are based on the 'average' swimmer - however we are always happy to exchange or refund if the fit isn't right for your swimmer (as long as the trunks are returned in original condition with tags)

• Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of the waist, keeping the tape firm but not tight.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of the hips/bottom.
• Make sure the tape is level and close to the body over swimwear or fitted underwear.

• Use your waist measurement first, then check hips.
• If you are between sizes or prefer a more relaxed training fit, choose the larger size.
• If you prefer a firmer, race-style fit, choose the smaller size within your range.
