Swimschool, Easy On & Off Kids Swim Vest, Up to 50 lbs.

My daughter runs the pool with her vest and has fun.

Fits and grows with child. Soft and not bulky.

This product really works. Put it on my 3 year old, threw her into the deep end of the pool and she didn't drown. What a relief as the wife would have killed me.

Purchased this for our granddaughter, she’s a small 2 1/2 year old, and the small fits great. She loves that she can “swim” but stay afloat. It helps her practice kicking her feet and paddling. The vest wears well, and dries pretty quickly when hung out to dry. The colors stay vibrant, too.

I got this for my four year old with Down syndrome. She loves being in the water and has outgrown the baby floaties, but needs lots of support in the pool. I chose this one for the chin floatie that would help her keep her face out of the water, but it’s entirely ineffective. One, it attaches too loosely, so it floats in front of her face instead of under her chin. I might be able to fix that by sewing some Velcro further back on the shoulders. Two, it doesn’t feel like it will support any weight. Even when I held it right under her chin, it seemed like the weight of her head could push it underwater too easily, and thus also her face. I was holding it in place, though, so hard to tell.The vest itself is nice and trim, buoyant enough while also making it comfortable to hold her. However, she’s not skilled enough yet to maintain or adjust body position in the water, and without that chin piece, this doesn’t work for us right now.We’re using a puddle jumper I bought at Walmart instead. It did not work for us last year, but this year, it’s providing the right amount of buoyancy and uprightness, and she even surprised me by actually moving herself through the water… swimming!It could be that this vest is a next year thing, too, once she gains more skill at managing herself in the water. We’ll see.
