FAQs
Is this a life-saving device?
No, the Konges Sløjd Ellis Swim Vest is a buoyancy aid designed to help children feel more secure in the water. It is not a substitute for adult supervision, which is always required when children are near or in water.

Can I machine wash or tumble dry the swim vest?

What does 'Ahoy' refer to?

Troubleshooting
Swim vest feels too tight or too loose.
Ensure the front zipper is fully closed and the clip fastening is secured. Adjust the fit by ensuring the vest lies flat against the body without pinching. The vest should be snug enough not to ride up, but not so tight that it restricts breathing or comfort.
Material has a slight odor upon arrival.
This can be normal for neoprene products. Air the vest out in a well-ventilated area or rinse it with cool water and allow it to dry completely before first use.
Zipper is difficult to close.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down a few times. If it persists, consider a small amount of wax on the zipper teeth (ensure it's safe for skin contact).
