Eventually, the afternoon comes when your child no longer wants to be held in your arms. A good swimming aid provides just enough buoyancy for them to move on their own – and gives you the peace of mind to support them in a relaxed way.
Swim vests, armbands, and swim rings
- Liewood – the Dove neoprene swim vests, plus the Shirley armbands and baby swim rings in matching patterns.
- Konges Sløjd – neoprene swim vests in many prints as well as the Avery, Ellis, and Piper models, plus armbands and rings.
What fits when?
For the very little ones, there are swim rings with an integrated seat – the child sits stably and can look around in peace. As soon as they want to paddle themselves, a vest is more practical than a ring: it keeps the upper body upright while leaving the arms and legs free. Armbands are the intermediate step for children who already have a feel for the water. The exact age and weight recommendation is on the product page for every model – it is better to follow these than age alone, as children are built very differently.
Swimming aids are no substitute for supervision
This is important enough for us to have its own paragraph: vests, armbands, and rings are swimming aids – not life-saving equipment. They help with practice and provide security in chest-deep water, but no product of this kind replaces an adult staying within reach. In the swimming pool just as much as at the lake.
Material and care
Neoprene dries quickly and stands up to chlorine and salt water. Rinse the vest briefly with clean water after swimming and let it dry in the shade – direct sunlight and heater air will make the material hard and brittle over time.
Matches well with
This goes well with UV swimwear, water shoes, and bathrobes and bath towels. Shipping from Switzerland, delivery in 1–2 days.
