  Once your child is big enough to stay upright and hold their head up above the water they are ready to try a swim vest. Unlike swim jumpers, which position a child’s arms above their chest and restrict arm movement, swim vests fit snuggly to the torso, allowing children to have a full range of movement.

  Swim vests help position children in a natural swimming position in the water, whilst providing extra buoyancy as they learn to swim. You will need to hold onto your child’s hands at first, to help your child find their water balance. The vest will then help to keep them afloat as they learn to kick in the water. As they become more confident, you will be able to let go of their hands and they will be able to stay afloat using only the swim vest.

  Swim vests are ideal for children who enjoy snorkeling, as they provide stability and comfort when exploring the water for longer periods.
