16 adjustable, specially shaped floats and easy instructions ensure even the timidest child gains skills quickly in the water. Remove the floats as your child learns to swim. The Splash About Float Jacket is robust, strong and made from super soft 3mm neoprene and has soft binding to prevent chafing. The jacket is designed to hold your child is incorrect to learn to swim position. How to use: Learning to use the Float Jacket is very similar to riding a bike with regards to the child gaining their balance. Start by holding both of your child's hands whilst in the water and allow them to gain their balance. They can then begin moving their arms and legs and you can release one hand at a time whilst they get used to the buoyancy. To prevent tipping remove floats in pairs until the perfect buoyancy is achieved, it may take some children longer than others to gain their balance. Only release both hands once your child has gained their balance can move independently.
