Our brilliant Swim Vests / Swim Jackets help children learn to swim or just have fun in the water. By keeping their arms free they are able to learn to use correct swimming strokes. Made from soft neoprene, our float jackets give your child adjustable buoyancy, warmth and 100% sun protection on covered areas. Our 2021 versions now come with a strap for enhanced security. Please select from one of the strapped options if this is preferred.
The 8 individual floats can be removed to adjust buoyancy and reduce dependency as the wearer becomes a stronger swimmer. We have ensured that our jackets have been tested independently and that they are approved according to the latest harmonised EU safety standard: EN 13138-1. Available in 6 colours.
PLEASE ORDER BY CHEST SIZE/WEIGHT NOT BY AGE: All sizes are approximate. Please note that chest size/weight are more important when choosing the correct size. The age range quoted is for guidance only.
A snug fit is ideal to prevent riding up, the jacket will need to be pulled together to do up but it will feel less restrictive once in water. 16mths – 3yrs / 56 cm = 22 inch chest (Up to 20 kgs approx.) – 3-4 years = 61 cm or 24 inch chest (Up to 30 kgs approx.), 5-7 years / up to 66 cm or 26 inch chest (Up to 30 kgs approx.). If your child is average or large for his or her age we recommend going up a size.
Our Swim Jackets are recommended for use from 16 months and upwards. We recommend that children with sensitive skin use a rash vest underneath as prolonged use in the water may lead to neoprene rash, like you get when surfing!
The wearer should be encouraged to kick their legs and use their arms to propel themselves in the water.
Please note.
1) Swimming aids are designed to supplement a child’s natural buoyancy not simply keep the wearer afloat.
2) They are not a life preserver and do not prevent drowning.
3) Children should be supervised at all times.
