Description

The Paddle Pals swim training vest is a front-zip foam vest for babies and toddlers from 6 to 24 months, up to 33 lbs. It is designed for supervised pool practice and early swim lessons with an adult within arm’s reach.

Zip the front, fold the hook-and-loop tab over the pull, adjust and clip the under-leg strap, then check that the vest sits close to the body without riding toward the chin. Available in two prints and two sizes.

What this vest is — and what it isn’t

This is a swim-learning aid for supervised pool use. Its EPE foam panels provide buoyancy while a child practises moving in the water with an adult alongside.

It is not a life jacket or lifesaving device. It is not intended for boating or open water and is not a substitute for supervision. Adult supervision is required at all times; stay within arm’s reach.

Features

  • Sweet mermaid print in soft pastel colors
  • Comfortable fit for easy movement
  • Designed for pool days and beach adventures
  • Cute, playful style little ones will love
