A word from the Product Manager
After observing the needs of kids in the discovering swimming phase, we invented this new design of life vest to provide comfort and ease in practice.
Its simple shape envelops the torso and adapts to a kid’s size, while freeing the arms and shoulders for greater freedom of movement.
Kids using it must already be comfortable in the water because the buoyancy volume selected for this life vest will place a kid just on the surface to perform the first swimming movements.
The stages of aquatic awakening
There are 3 stages to discovering water:
- Familiarisation: build trust and overcome apprehension through fun games. The kid gets used to water.
- Immersion and breathing: control your breathing to feel safe and put your head under water.
- Floating and moving: develop independence and discover how the body behaves in water before moving around alone.
A progressive, fun-filled course for a successful introduction to water!
Why an inflatable vest?

This swim life vest gives them the level of buoyancy needed to let them progress and empower their swimming.
