Support, built in
One suit.
Eight inserts.
Support that changes.
The buoyancy comes from 8 removable inserts, each held in its own pocket around the suit. The inserts provide the support; the swimsuit keeps everything together in one piece.
- Built-in pockets
- Keep the buoyancy inserts inside the swimsuit.
- 8 removable inserts
- Take them out one step at a time to reduce the support as your child progresses.
- The same swimsuit
- The inserts can come out; the one-piece suit stays.
Reduce the support one step at a time, only while you are in the water beside your child. Removing inserts reduces buoyancy; it does not mean a child can swim unaided.

How to measure their height
With shoes off, have your child stand straight against a wall. Measure from the floor to the top of their head, then compare with the child-height row above.
Always together
The support can change.
Your supervision stays close.
Not a lifejacket. Does not protect against drowning. Maintain close, active adult supervision and provide hands-on help whenever needed. Never assume the suit keeps a child’s face above water or turns them face-up.

Good to know
The questions parents ask most.
Is this a lifejacket?
No. It is a swimming aid for practice in the water with an adult beside your child. It is not a lifejacket, it does not protect against drowning, and it must never be used for boating or in open water where a lifejacket is required.
Will it make my child dependent on it?
This is the question we get asked most, and it is a fair one. The honest answer is that no buoyancy aid teaches a child to swim — and no brand can honestly promise you the opposite either. What this suit is built to do is let you reduce the help gradually instead of jumping from full support straight to none: 8 inserts, taken out one step at a time as your child gets stronger. Swimming unaided is a separate skill that comes from practice and instruction, so keep checking it separately, without the suit, with your teacher.
Can I stop watching my child while they wear it?
No, and this is the one thing we will not soften. Stay within arm’s reach for the whole session, every session. The suit changes how much support your child has in the water. It does not make them safe and it does not replace you.
Which size should I choose?
Go by height, not age. Stand your child against a wall with shoes off, measure floor to the top of their head, and match that to the child-height row in the size guide above. The ages in the chart are a rough guide only — children of the same age vary a lot. If your child falls between two sizes, email us before you order rather than sizing up: a suit that does not sit close to the body will not work the way it is meant to.
What if my child refuses to wear it?
It happens, and it is usually about how something feels rather than how it looks. Try it on dry at home a few days before you go swimming and let them wear it around the house for a while. That also lets you check the fit while the suit is still returnable. If they will not wear it at all, email us within 60 days — as long as it has not been worn in water, it can come back.
How is it different from armbands or a puddle jumper?
The support sits around your child’s torso rather than on their arms, so their arms and shoulders stay free to move. Swimming teachers are genuinely divided on which type suits which child, and we are not going to tell you another product is unsafe — ask the person who teaches your child. The practical difference here is that the amount of support is adjustable: 8 inserts you can remove one step at a time, rather than a fixed amount that stays the same until you stop using the aid altogether.
When should I remove an insert?
The suit holds 8 inserts. Take one out when your child is consistently comfortable and active at the level of support they are on — not on a fixed schedule, and not because of their age. Removing an insert lowers how much the suit holds them up, so make the change only while you are in the water beside them, and put it back if it turns out to be too much too soon. Their swimming teacher is the best person to judge the timing.
Will it teach my child to swim?
It provides buoyancy for practice. It does not teach swimming by itself, guarantee progress or replace swimming instruction. Assess unaided skills separately.
How do I care for the suit?
Rinse the suit in cool fresh water after every swim to get chlorine or salt out. Take the inserts out, then dry the suit and the inserts separately, flat and out of direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry, iron or bleach. Make sure both are completely dry before storing.
