Splash About Kids Floatsuit with Adjustable Buoyancy

Product Information

The floats go around the child’s torso, leaving their arms unrestricted. This helps them develop a more natural swimming position in the pool, rather than lifting them upright out of the water, which is what armbands do. I am 47 years old and have never been able to float. I took swimming lessons for years in high school, but still couldn’t float. My legs would always sink. If I made it across the narrow end of the pool, it was an achievement. 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. Our stylish and chic Konfidence™ Floatsuit is a premium all in one swimsuit with added buoyancy. The Floatsuit is lightweight, easy to use and helps gives your child confidence in the water and is perfect for the pool or the beach. It is also the only buoyancy swimsuit approved by Starfish Aquatics Institute - US and International swimming curriculum and awarding body. 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

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. Inflatability isn’t adjustable, although there are float disc armband systems available where float discs can be gradually removed 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.Overall, both products are really good and pleasant to use. They work so much better than the armbands and are more comfortable to wear. I love the bright designs too and they also really appeal to my daughter’s taste. 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. 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. 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.

Floatsuits work with your child’s natural buoyancy, preventing them from sinking while enabling them to put their head underwater if they want to. Although they help keep the child safe in the water, they are swimming aids and aren’t intended as a safety device. 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. Although Splash About’s floatsuits are made from chlorine-resistant fabric, you still need to care for them as you would any regular swimwear. Buoyancy aid's to swimming are designed to supplement a natural buoyancy not simply keep the wearer afloat. The two items that we have are the Speedo Sea Squad Float Vest and the Speedo Sea Squad Floatsuit. They’re both available in Pink and Blue and do the same thing — help your child float in water and help to build your child’s confidence and enable them to learn to swim without the restrictions of armbands.

Water Wing Vest

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 Our firstborn is turning three in January and lately, we’ve enjoyed going swimming with her when we get a chance. Now that we have a baby too, we can only go when the whole family is available but it’s something we really like doing as we want our daughter to learn how to swim and be comfortable in the water. It’s also lots of fun, of course!
