Our Water Wing Vest provides fixed buoyancy and encourages a natural swimming position to get little ones used to using their arms and legs to move around in the water. Featuring a neoprene body and super soft sleeves with foam floats strategically sewn into the arms and shoulders, this vest provides exceptional buoyancy and ease ofmovement as you child learns to swim. When choosing the right size of suit for your child, don’t go by their age. Instead, measure their chest circumference, body length and weight, to ensure the best fit possible. The Speedo Sea Squad Floatsuit is an all-in-one solution that you wear instead of your regular swimsuit. It’s got built in panels that help your child float and swim. We prefer this for using in the pool as the float panels stay in place very well and can’t go too high up. The vest is really good too and I would choose that over the floatsuit for beach use and when going to outdoor pools when you play out of the water as well. We have size 3-4 years in the floatsuit and that works well for us. For decades, armbands have been parents’ go-to buoyancy aid when taking their children swimming. However, floatsuits have many more advantages over these traditional swimming aids.

Rinse the floatsuit thoroughly in cool water after use and leave to dry naturally, out of direct sunlight. Let your child see how a floatsuit feels once they are wearing it—they tend to be much more comfortable and less restrictive than armbands. An absolute must-have for little ones both in and around the pool, our Baby Wrap is designed to keep them warm and snug to help them feel more relaxed in the water. When little ones are first introduced to the water they are surrounded by new sounds and smells which can be overwhelming, so ensuring they are warm and comfortable is the perfect way to get them feeling happier and more confident in the water from first splash. Foam floats are integrated into the swimming costume, so you can adjust the buoyancy as your child becomes more confident in the water and as their swimming abilities improve. It also means your child can’t easily remove the floats, which is a potential hazard with armbands. Buoyancy aid's to swimming are designed to supplement a natural buoyancy not simply keep the wearer afloat.Let them choose the style they prefer—there are plenty of options available, including bright patterns and colours to suit every child’s taste. Many of Splash About’s designs come in classic or long-sleeve designs—for example, our navy with white strip design is available as a sun protection floatsuit and in a classic swimsuit design. Floatsuits are swimming costumes with integrated floats to help children stay buoyant in water and position them correctly when they are learning to swim.

At Zoggs we believe that children should be introduced to water as early as possible to promote confidence, well-being and most importantly, enjoyment. Our learn to swim products are designed and categorised to suit your child's stage of swim development, helping you incorporate fun, safety and learning into every swim session. This year we've updated our range of products to stages 1 and 2 featuring our Deep Sea and Mermaid Flower prints that kids will absolutely love as their confidence in the water grows. Baby Wrap Inflatability isn’t adjustable, although there are float disc armband systems available where float discs can be gradually removed When we decided to start going swimming, we bought some armbands for her but they get in the way quite a bit so we were keen to find an alternative to use that would still help her float a bit but that was less obtrusive! We have found two things actually and they’re both by the brand Speedo that is known for adult swimwear but they also make Learn To Swim items for kids. Clean soiled suits in a washing machine on a warm wash with a gentle detergent. Don’t use fabric conditioner as this can damage the material’s UPF coating. Remember to remove all the floats first Wearing the correct size of floatsuit will help keep your child as safe as possible. So choose a suit based on their weight, chest circumference and height, rather than just their age.Yes. If your child isn’t potty trained, they will need to wear a swim nappy under their floatsuit. Splash About’s reusable Happy Nappy range can be worn under a floatsuit for a confident, leak-free swim.
