Swim vest

A swim vest is probably the best flotation device for your kid or yourself - and it's great for learning to swim because it's so easy to move around in. That's why you'll find a large selection of specially selected swim vests on this site, so that you and/or your kid only get the best of the best. Anything else would be foolish when it comes to water and, in the worst case scenario, accidents.

Why you (and your kid) should swim with a swim vest

No one can swim without having learnt/experienced it before. That's why you (or your kid) need a swim vest when you're learning how to get around in the water and, not least, how to swim naturally. Here, a swim vest is the obvious choice and what we here at Watery.ie recommend.

This type of swim vest is also called a buoyancy aid. This is, of course, because it helps you float and thus stay afloat. One of the most important things when learning to swim.

So if you or your kid want to start swimming, a swim vest, which is available in different sizes, is a great choice. Another good choice would also be our swim trunks and diaper swim trunks that ensure a good experience in the water. Check out our wide range of baby swim trunks and diaper swim trunks that your little one will love.

A (better) alternative to swim belts and arm wings

As you've probably already realized, a swim vest can act as an alternative to the usual swim belts and arm wings.

In fact, we would argue that these swim vests are a significantly better alternative for learning to swim than the other two aids.

This is mainly because the swim belts and wings can risk coming off during swimming. A swim vest can NOT do that. Therefore, the risk of accidents is also lower when using swim vests instead of swim belts and arm wings.

Swim vest vs. life jacket

Many people also think that a life jacket is probably what you need when learning to swim.

It is NOT.

Because a life jacket is very difficult to move around in, and they very heavy, whereas the swim vests we have on this site are both lightweight and easy to move around in. Which is essential when learning to swim in the water.

On the other hand, the life jacket will be the solution for you if you are sailing far away from the coast or if you are in very cold water. At the same time, a life jacket has a collar at the head, which will keep your head above water if you/your kid becomes unconscious. A swim vest will not, as they do not have this collar.

Why your kid should swim with a swim vest

A swim west simply makes it much easier and more affordable for your kid to learn to swim - correctly, of course.

Because with a swim vest that is properly fastened around the body, it will give your kid a much more natural and correct swimming position in the water, making it possible to learn to swim correctly.

What's more, these swim vests are also all UV-protective, so you don't have to worry about the sun's strong rays when you let your kid float around in the pool or at the beach. A very big advantage.

Ultimately, though, the most important thing is that it makes swimming safe for your kid, so you don't have to worry about your little one all the time. Because with one of these on, your kid is truly safe whether they can float or fully swim. Because between the legs, as you see on these Beco Sealife swim vests, for example, a string is tightened around so that it is 100% certain that your kid can't wriggle out of the swim vest again.

By the way, most kids don't want to do that either, as such a swim vest is much more comfortable and cozy than, for example, swim belts or arm wings.

Konfidence swim vests for kids

These Konfidence swim vests are probably the most popular of all for kids and babies to familiarize themselves with water and learn to swim the right way. They are for several reasons.

1) They are made of neoprene, which provides extra warmth for the often small bodies, and at the same time they are really comfortable to swim with
2) The yellow back makes the kid easy to see in the water
3) The buoyancy of the vest can be continuously adjusted as the kid learns to swim
4) The Konficence swim vest can be worn with/on top of regular swimsuits, wetsuits and UV-resistant swimwear
5) The vest is approved as a flotation device for swimming lessons in Ireland

In addition, these swim vests from Konficence are available in three different sizes to fit your kid and in several different colours. This means that whether your kid needs a 1-year-old or 6-year-old swim vest, you will find a swim vest that is made exactly for your kid's needs.
