Liewood Dove swim vest - Polyester

The Liewood Dove Swim Vest is designed for toddlers and young children. Please refer to the sizing guide for specific age and weight recommendations, as fit is more important than age alone.

No, the Liewood Dove Swim Vest is a flotation aid designed to assist children learning to swim and build confidence. It does not prevent drowning and requires constant, vigilant adult supervision.

The vest should be hand washed only using mild soap and cold water. Rinse thoroughly and hang to air dry in the shade. Do not machine wash, bleach, or tumble dry.

While the vest is designed to be worn over swimwear, fitting it over a thick wetsuit may affect the overall buoyancy and secure fit. It's best suited for wearing over standard swimwear.

The swim vest is made from a blend of 90% polychloroprene rubber (neoprene) and 10% polyester.

The vest should fit snugly around the child's torso without restricting movement. Ensure the zipper, VELCRO®, and buckle fastenings are all securely closed. The child should not be able to easily pull the vest up over their head.

Loosen the VELCRO® and buckle fastenings. Ensure the zipper is fully closed before adjusting the other fasteners. Check if the child has outgrown the vest; a proper fit is crucial for safety and comfort.

Verify that all fasteners are securely tightened and that the vest is correctly positioned on the child. Ensure the vest is appropriate for the child's weight and swimming ability. This vest is a flotation aid and not a substitute for swimming ability or supervision.

This can sometimes happen with neoprene. Ensure you are hand washing with mild soap and cold water. Avoid tumble drying or using harsh chemicals. Air dry in the shade. The material should regain flexibility with use.
