When choosing the right size of suit for your child, don’t go by their age. Instead, measure their chest circumference, body length and weight, to ensure the best fit possible. Buoyancy aid's to swimming are designed to supplement a natural buoyancy not simply keep the wearer afloat.

When we decided to start going swimming, we bought some armbands for her but they get in the way quite a bit so we were keen to find an alternative to use that would still help her float a bit but that was less obtrusive! We have found two things actually and they’re both by the brand Speedo that is known for adult swimwear but they also make Learn To Swim items for kids. Our girl is quite the wild child and loves jumping and being thrown in the air by her dad and these things are even more fun when you do them in the water. She loves to jump off the floating toys in the pool and playing with her dad, splashing him and everyone else with water. Floatsuits are available as a classic swimming costume style Floatsuit, or in designs with fabric to protect arms and legs from the sun, like our UV Floatsuit. Foam floats are integrated into the swimming costume, so you can adjust the buoyancy as your child becomes more confident in the water and as their swimming abilities improve. It also means your child can’t easily remove the floats, which is a potential hazard with armbands.I am 47 years old and have never been able to float. I took swimming lessons for years in high school, but still couldn’t float. My legs would always sink. If I made it across the narrow end of the pool, it was an achievement. Yes. If your child isn’t potty trained, they will need to wear a swim nappy under their floatsuit. Splash About’s reusable Happy Nappy range can be worn under a floatsuit for a confident, leak-free swim. Our firstborn is turning three in January and lately, we’ve enjoyed going swimming with her when we get a chance. Now that we have a baby too, we can only go when the whole family is available but it’s something we really like doing as we want our daughter to learn how to swim and be comfortable in the water. It’s also lots of fun, of course! Floatsuits are essentially a swimsuit and swimming aid in one. Using them means you don’t need to worry about getting your child to wear armbands or rely on them to hold on to floats when they are in the water. An absolute must-have for little ones both in and around the pool, our Baby Wrap is designed to keep them warm and snug to help them feel more relaxed in the water. When little ones are first introduced to the water they are surrounded by new sounds and smells which can be overwhelming, so ensuring they are warm and comfortable is the perfect way to get them feeling happier and more confident in the water from first splash.

Our Water Wing Vest provides fixed buoyancy and encourages a natural swimming position to get little ones used to using their arms and legs to move around in the water. Featuring a neoprene body and super soft sleeves with foam floats strategically sewn into the arms and shoulders, this vest provides exceptional buoyancy and ease ofmovement as you child learns to swim.For decades, armbands have been parents’ go-to buoyancy aid when taking their children swimming. However, floatsuits have many more advantages over these traditional swimming aids. Our stylish and chic Konfidence™ Floatsuit is a premium all in one swimsuit with added buoyancy. The Floatsuit is lightweight, easy to use and helps gives your child confidence in the water and is perfect for the pool or the beach. It is also the only buoyancy swimsuit approved by Starfish Aquatics Institute - US and International swimming curriculum and awarding body. At Zoggs we believe that children should be introduced to water as early as possible to promote confidence, well-being and most importantly, enjoyment. Our learn to swim products are designed and categorised to suit your child's stage of swim development, helping you incorporate fun, safety and learning into every swim session. This year we've updated our range of products to stages 1 and 2 featuring our Deep Sea and Mermaid Flower prints that kids will absolutely love as their confidence in the water grows. Baby Wrap

Rinse the floatsuit thoroughly in cool water after use and leave to dry naturally, out of direct sunlight.Overall, both products are really good and pleasant to use. They work so much better than the armbands and are more comfortable to wear. I love the bright designs too and they also really appeal to my daughter’s taste.
