      Consult the Speedo size chart to select the size that best corresponds to the boy's measurements. Look under each even-numbered clothing size for the measurements that would fit the boy comfortably. For example, if he wears a size 10 in clothing, but has a 27-inch waist, choose the Large size Speedo instead of the Medium just in case.
