Q: What size Swim Vest does my child need?
A: While it's hard to be sure of the correct sizing without trying it on, the size guide below should help to give you an idea of the difference between our sizes and make sure that your child's swim vest fits perfectly.
Please note that while all size 1-2 Swim Vests come with a leg strap, this is not included on some 2-3 year vests or 4-6 year vests. Feel free to reach out to us if you're after more info about specific swim vest styles!
For children's swim products age is not always the best indicator to correct size, it's important to always take into account weight and measurements to ensure a good fit.
This size guide shares key measurements and weights that can help you determine the right fit for your child.
