Decathlon Swim Life Vest - Green

No, the Decathlon Swim Life Vest provides moderate buoyancy and is designed for children who are already comfortable in the water and have some swimming ability. It is not a primary learn-to-swim aid for non-swimmers.

Select the size based on your child's weight: Small for 15-25kg and Large for 25-35kg. The vest should fit snugly but comfortably when adjusted.

Yes, it can be used in open water. However, always ensure a child wearing the vest is under constant, close supervision by an adult, regardless of the environment.

Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after each use and air dry completely in a shaded area. Hand wash with mild soap if needed. Avoid direct sunlight and harsh chemicals.

The 3-point safety buckle ensures a secure closure and helps prevent accidental release of the vest, adding an extra layer of safety during use.

If your child is at the upper end of the Small size (e.g., 24-25kg), they might be more comfortable in the Large size for future growth and a slightly less restrictive fit, but always ensure a snug fit can still be achieved with the adjustable strap. If at the lower end of the Large (e.g., 25-26kg), the Large should be fine but adjust carefully.

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the child's weight. Fully tighten the adjustable front strap to achieve a snug fit. The 3-point safety buckle should be securely fastened.

Re-check the fit. If the vest is too loose or too tight, it might not sit correctly. Ensure the child's swimwear isn't bunching up under the vest. If the issue persists, the vest size might be incorrect for the child's body shape, even if the weight is within range.

Check for any sand or debris obstructing the buckle mechanism. Clean the buckle with fresh water if necessary. Ensure you are pressing the release buttons firmly and correctly when unfastening.
