Product Information
Full details
The Speedo Sea Squad Otter Swim Vest is a buoyancy aid designed for young children who are just starting to learn how to swim. It provides essential support to help children build confidence in the water through built-in foam inserts that assist with stability and buoyancy. While the vest is an excellent tool for developing water confidence, it is a buoyancy aid and not a life-saving device, meaning it must always be used under the close supervision of a responsible adult.

FAQs
Is this vest a life jacket?
No, the Speedo Sea Squad Otter Swim Vest is a buoyancy aid designed to help children learn to swim. It does not guarantee protection against drowning and requires constant adult supervision.
Can my child wear this in the ocean?
Yes, it can be used in the ocean under constant adult supervision, but ensure you rinse the vest with fresh water immediately after to prevent salt damage.
How should I clean the vest?
Hand wash with fresh, clean water after each use. Avoid harsh detergents and bleach.
What happens if the vest gets punctured?
The foam inserts are generally durable, but if the vest suffers a significant rip or if the foam is compromised, it should be replaced immediately as it may no longer provide the intended buoyancy.
Is this machine washable?
No, it is recommended to hand wash only to protect the structural integrity of the foam inserts and the zipper mechanism.
Troubleshooting
The zip is becoming stiff or difficult to slide.
Rinse the zipper thoroughly in fresh water to remove any salt or sand deposits that may be causing friction.
The vest feels loose or shifts while the child is swimming.
Verify that the size is correct for the child's weight and that the zip is fully closed and secured properly.

Care Instructions:
- Rinse: Always rinse the vest thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use to remove chlorine or salt.
- Drying: Air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Do not leave the vest inside a damp swim bag for extended periods, as this can lead to mold or mildew.
