Product Information

Full details

The Konges Slojd Ellis Swim Vest is designed for young children learning to swim who need added buoyancy and confidence in the water. Crafted from durable polyester, it offers a secure, comfortable fit through a combination of a front zipper and a reliable buckle clip, ensuring the vest stays in place during active play. While it is an excellent tool for water introduction, it is important to note that this product is a buoyancy aid rather than a life-saving device, and children must always be under direct adult supervision when near water.

FAQs

Is this a life-saving device?

No, the Konges Slojd Ellis Swim Vest is a buoyancy aid intended to assist with swimming lessons and water confidence. It does not replace the safety provided by direct adult supervision.

Can this vest be used in the ocean?

Yes, it is suitable for use in the ocean, but it is vital to rinse the vest thoroughly with fresh water after use to prevent salt buildup on the zipper and fabric.

How do I choose the right size?

The vest is designed to be worn snugly. Ensure the child's chest measurements align with the product's recommended size guide to prevent the vest from riding up in the water.

Can I machine wash the vest?

It is recommended to hand wash only with mild soap and fresh water to maintain the integrity of the buoyancy foam and the fastening hardware.

How should I store the vest in the off-season?

Ensure the vest is completely dry, then store it in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight and heavy objects that might compress the foam inserts.

Troubleshooting

The front zipper is sticking or difficult to pull up.

Check for fabric caught in the teeth of the zipper or sand trapped in the track. Rinse with fresh water and gently clear away any debris.

The safety buckle feels loose.

Ensure the buckle is free of debris. If the clip does not audibly 'click' or feels loose, inspect the plastic prongs for cracks and discontinue use if damaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the swim vest, always rinse it with fresh, cool water after every use in a chlorinated pool or the ocean to remove salt and chemical residue. Do not use harsh detergents or bleach. Hang the vest to air dry in the shade, avoiding direct sunlight, as prolonged UV exposure can degrade the material and fade the vibrant colors over time. Store the vest in a cool, dry place once completely dry to prevent mold or mildew growth. Before each use, inspect the zipper and the buckle clip to ensure there is no sand or debris preventing them from locking securely.
