Introduction
Finding the right size in competitive swimwear can be a challenge, especially when brands use European sizing conventions. If you are looking for a suit that provides high coverage and stays secure during intense activity, understanding how these garments are measured is the first step. Many shoppers find themselves caught between sizes or unsure how a water polo cut differs from a standard suit. This guide will help you navigate the specific measurements needed to select your next piece from Outlet Bikini with certainty.
Understanding the Turbo Size Chart
Turbo utilizes a sizing system that often includes both age-based labels for youth and letter-based labels for adults. For many adult shoppers, the transition from US standard sizing to this European-led system requires a quick comparison.
General size conversions often look like this:
- Small (S): Equivalent to a UK/USA 30.
- Medium (M): Equivalent to a UK/USA 32.
- Large (L): Equivalent to a UK/USA 34.
- Extra Large (XL): Equivalent to a UK/USA 36.
If you are shopping for younger swimmers, the 12Y typically aligns with an adult Small, while the 14Y often fits similarly to an adult Medium. Because these suits are designed with high-stretch fabrics, they are intended to sit very close to the skin.
Navigating the Tight Fit
One of the most important things to know about this style is that it is engineered for performance. Specifically, water polo suits are designed to be extremely snug to prevent opponents from grabbing the fabric. This means the fit will feel much tighter than your average Two-Piece Suits.
If you prefer a fit that is less restrictive for casual swimming, it is common practice to size up. For example, if your measurements typically put you in a Medium, choosing a Large can provide a bit more breathing room while still maintaining the silhouette of One-Piece Suits. Reviewing your chest, waist, and hip measurements in centimeters is the most accurate way to ensure the garment aligns with your body contour.
How to Measure Your Body for Swimwear
To get the most accurate result, use a soft measuring tape and keep it level around the widest or narrowest parts of your body as indicated:
- Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your bust.
- Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waistline.
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and rear.
If your measurements fall into two different size categories—for instance, if your chest is a Medium but your hips are a Small—it is usually recommended to choose the larger size. This ensures the suit does not pull or create discomfort across the longer part of your torso.

FAQ
How do I know if I should size up in a Turbo swimsuit?
Since these suits are designed for competitive water polo, they feature a high-compression fit that is very tight. If you are using the suit for recreation or prefer a less restrictive feel, it is generally recommended to select one size larger than what the chart suggests.
What is the difference between the youth and adult sizing?
Turbo uses age-based sizes like 10Y and 12Y, which often overlap with adult sizes like XS and S. If you are an adult with a smaller frame, a 12Y or 14Y may provide the fit you need, but always check the hip and chest measurements in centimeters to be sure.
