Splash About Kids Swim Vest Early Years Swim Vest Croc Creek

Do you want to enjoy moments together by the water without constant fear and stress? The Early Years Swim Vest is here to give your little adventurer courage and peace of mind.

Forget the falling wings. This life jacket fits like a glove thanks to the safety strap between the legs so it doesn't move in the water. A special collar also guards the head to keep it safely above the surface. Once you see that your little swimmer is gaining confidence, you can simply remove the back floats and let your child do their first independent paces.

Life jacket with removable floatsdesigned for the smallest swimmers.

Why do parents (and children) love it so much here?

• It's a vest with a safety belt between the legs, so you don't have to worry about it coming up to your child's ears or coming off in the water.
• Special support behind the neck gently helps to keep the head above the surface.
• Fixed floats in the frontensure that the little swimmer does not roll over and feels stable in the water.
• This water vest has 4 removable floats on the back. As soon as the child gains confidence, you simply remove them and let him swim more independently.
• Dressing is also a breeze thanks to the vest opening in the front.
• It is made of soft, quick-drying material that does not scratch or press anywhere, so children can goof around in it all day long.
• Vivid colors help to ensure that you can always see your child clearly in the water. Nevertheless, we recommend always being present with the child and keeping an eye on him.

Instructions for use and safety instructions

Before your little adventurer takes to the waves, please take a moment to read this guide. Correct fit is the key to a water vest being a truly secure support.

WARNING: Safety first

• NO PROTECTION AGAINST DROWNING!
• USE ONLY UNDER THE CONSTANT SUPERVISION OF AN ADULT.
• The vest is a swimming aid, not a life jacket.
• Always make sure that the selected size corresponds to the age and weight category of your child.

How to put on a vest correctly?

1. Inserting into the vest: Carefully place the child in the vest and place the soft neck support around the child's head.
2. Fastening: Fasten the front zipper and make sure it is pulled all the way up and secured securely. The zipper cover must be closed before entering the water.
3. Secure the strap: Unfasten the buckle of the safety strap, pass it between the child's legs, fasten it again and tighten it so that the vest fits comfortably and does not ride up.
4. Removal: Unzip the zipper cover, unzip the zipper itself, and carefully remove the child's hands from the vest.

• Learning to swim and working with floats

  • Go full throttle: On first use, leave all buoyancy support (all floats) in the vest.
  • First steps in the water: Once the baby is in the water, hold his hands until he finds his balance and starts to move naturally.
  • Gradually reducing buoyancy: As the child gains confidence and begins to learn swimming movements, you can gradually remove the lighter buoyancy elements (floats) from the back.
  • Caution: Decreasing the number of floats reduces the level of protection. Only do this if the child is already making progress in swimming. The goal is for the child to naturally move into the correct swimming position.

  Maintenance: Wash the vest only by hand in clean, cold water. Do not iron or tumble dry.

  Ecological disposal
