How to Read Age and Size Labels on Children’s Swim Aids

Before colour or character, read the age, weight, size and intended-use limits on a swim aid. It is not lifesaving equipment and never replaces constant, close adult supervision.

Treat every limit as part of the fit

Age alone may not be enough. Match any stated weight or body range to the child’s current measurement. Note limits on water setting or depth and follow all manufacturer warnings.

Inspect before every entry

Check buckles, seams, valves, surfaces and inflatable chambers. Do not use an item with leaks, looseness or damage. Follow the stated inflation method.

Stay within arm’s reach

The responsible adult should remain beside the child without distracting tasks. Correct sizing does not remove the need for supervision.
