Armbands and swimming belts for children

Armbands versus swimming belts

Armbands are worn around the upper arms and give buoyancy on both sides of the body. They are suitable for the very little ones just getting acquainted with the water. Swimming belts are worn around the waist and offer more freedom of movement for the arms — ideal for children who are already a bit further in their swimming development.

Safety first

Armbands and swimming belts are not an official lifesaving device and don't replace adult supervision. They are an aid in learning to swim. Always choose a model that suits your child's weight and age, and regularly check that the fastening is secure.
