Product Information
Full details
This Zoggs Super Star Water Wings Vest in Blue (size 1-2 years) is designed for young children learning to swim, providing fixed buoyancy to encourage a natural swimming position and build confidence. Its key benefit is helping children get used to using their arms and legs for propulsion. A crucial caveat is that it does not act as a life jacket and requires constant adult supervision. The vest features a neoprene body, soft sleeves, and strategically sewn foam floats for comfort and ease of movement, secured with a back zip and tab.

Troubleshooting
Vest seems too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size (1-2 years or up to 25kg). Check the zip is fully fastened and the tab is secured. If still ill-fitting, consider if the child has outgrown the size.
Child can remove the vest
Verify that the back zip is fully zipped and the velcro tab is securely fastened over the zip pull. Ensure the child is not able to reach the tab easily.
Vest does not provide enough buoyancy
Confirm the vest is correctly sized and fully fastened. The vest provides fixed buoyancy; it is not designed to keep a non-swimmer afloat independently. Always maintain constant adult supervision.
