The SwimBest swim vest has been designed to allow your child to enjoy the water and help them in their learning to swim journey.

Our number 1 selling swim jacket uses 8 removable foam floats that can be removed as the wearers ability to swim progresses. This unique design puts your child in the correct swimming position, allowing them the freedom to use their arms and legs without restrictions like other swimming aids such as arm bands. 

Using a SwimBest swim jacket is a great way to supplement swimming lessons. Being able to practice without being worried about staying afloat helps kids learn the techniques needed to swim correctly faster. This will eventually give your child the freedom to swim unassisted.

They’re fantastic for use on holidays too, even for those who are able to swim a SwimBest float vest gives children confidence in the water and helps give peace of mind to mum and dad in and around a busy pool. This, of course, takes nothing away from the need to maintain constant adult supervision.

Our swim vests are made using excellent quality, soft and durable neoprene. They can also help keep the wearer warm as well as providing 50+ UV sun protection on areas of the body that jacket covers. Perfect for those sunny (or windy) beach days.

We do strongly recommend a snug fit as this stops the jacket riding up and gives the wearer maximum support when in the water. So please consult carefully the size guide provided.

We do highly recommend measuring the largest part of your child's chest (or upper part of the tummy for our smaller swimmers) and order via chest size and weight. The age recommendation is approximate and for guidance only.

If your child is on the limit of a size, or in-between sizes, we recommend choosing the next size up.

If wearing any buoyancy product for an extended period of time, in order to
prevent chlorine/salt water from potentially irritating skin, we recommend
wearing a rash guard or swimming costume underneath. This is particularly in
regards to children with sensitive skin.

Our buoyancy products are designed to assist in learning to swim. They will
gently tilt the wearer forward into a swimming position, to enable swimming
progression. When using the jacket for the first time, we do recommend holding the wearers hands and to provide support where needed, until the wearer
becomes used to the type of buoyancy provided.

The wearer should be encouraged to kick their legs and use their arms to
balance and propel themselves in the water.

1) Buoyancy aid's to swimming are designed to supplement a natural buoyancy not simply keep the wearer afloat.

2) They are not a life preserver and are not guaranteed to
prevent drowning.

3) Children must be supervised by a competent care giver at all
times whilst in the water.

We have ensured that our buoyancy products have been tested independently and approved to the latest UKCA and EU safety standard: EN13138-1 and accordingly are marked with UKCA & CE.
