Don’t get caught off-guard. Just like a bathing suit, not every floating aid will fit your child. These floaties, which come in styles ranging from pink rainbow unicorn to red and yellow dinosaurs, work best for kids that are between 25 and 45 pounds. Use the extra slide buckle to make sure the fit is just right and to keep yourself from worrying about their safety around water.

Build confidence

Kids stay afloat with this traditional aid.

A classic vest allows your child’s arms to remain free while they learn to swim. This will give them the buoyancy they may still need while building their confidence to eventually swim without an aid. This vest is made of durable neoprene to keep your child warm while they float in every body of water. The front zipper allows for easy application and removal no matter how wet your kid is. However, the safety closure at the top keeps them from removing it without your help and the adjustable buckle strap keeps it fit to their body.
