Full details

FAQs
Is this a life jacket?
No, this is a swimming aid designed to assist with buoyancy during water play and instruction. It is not a USCG-approved life jacket.
Can my child jump into the pool with this vest?
Children should always be supervised. Jumping while wearing a swim aid should only be encouraged once the child is comfortable and has demonstrated they can maintain their balance.
How do I determine if the size is correct?
The vest should fit snugly around the torso without being restrictive. It should not be loose enough to slip off over the shoulders when the arms are raised.
Can the foam inserts be removed?
The foam inserts are built into the construction of the vest to provide consistent safety; they are not intended for removal.
How long will the material last?
With proper rinsing and air-drying after every use, the polyester material and foam inserts are designed for long-term use throughout the learning-to-swim stage.
Troubleshooting
The vest rides up toward the child's chin.
Check that the touch-fastening strap is pulled snug and that the vest is the correct size for the child's chest measurements.
The zipper is difficult to close.
Check for fabric caught in the zipper track and ensure the child is standing still while you pull the zipper up.
Vest smells like chlorine even after rinsing.
Submerge the vest in a basin of fresh water for 30 minutes, then hang it to drip dry thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the vest, unzip the front and open the touch-fastening strap. Assist the child in sliding their arms through the armholes, then zip the front completely closed before securing the touch-fastening strap over the zipper.
Care Instructions:
- Rinse the vest with fresh, cold water after every use in chlorinated pool water or saltwater to remove chemical residue.
- Do not use harsh detergents or bleach.
- Hang to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources to preserve the foam density and fabric elasticity.
- Ensure the vest is completely dry before storing it in a cool, dark place to prevent mold.
