AquaKidz™ Floating Suit

The Floating Suit is a learning flotation device, not a life jacket.

The foam inserts help your child float and feel secure while learning, but they are not designed to automatically turn them face-up.

That's why, no matter which flotation device your child uses, your child must always be closely supervised by an adult, within arm's reach, in and around the water.

No.

The suit is made of polyester + cotton, a hypoallergenic material designed for sensitive skin, and its seams are specifically engineered to prevent chafing and irritation in high-friction areas (armpits, neck, crotch).

That said, if your child has very reactive skin, we recommend trying it on for a short time first, just as you would with any new garment.

Rinse with fresh water after each use in the pool or sea and air dry in the shade (no dryer). With proper care, it lasts all day in the water, even with daily use.

There is no fixed timeline — each child progresses at their own pace.

Look for these signs before removing the next flotation device: stays afloat without sinking for 10-15 seconds, kicks with some control instead of just thrashing, and appears comfortable (not tense or scared) in the water.

If you see this consistently across several sessions, it's a good time to remove one. Take it slowly: it's better to remove one more gradually than to rush the process.

Traditional floaties slip off, give a false sense of security, and restrict arm movement—exactly what prevents real swimming skills from developing.

Our suit fits snugly to the entire body, stays in place, and leaves arms free so your child can practice proper strokes while building confidence.

Our sizing guide is based on your child's approximate age, with measurements in inches for greater precision:

12–18 months: length 17.3 in, chest 20.1 in, hip 19.3 in

2–3 years: length 18.9 in, chest 21.3 in, hip 20.5 in

3–4 years: length 20.5 in, chest 22.4 in, hip 21.7 in

5–6 years: length 22.0 in, chest 23.6 in, hip 22.8 in

How to measure? With your child standing: length is measured from the shoulder to the crotch, chest around the widest part of the chest, and hip around the widest part of the hip.

Since each size covers an age range, some children may be larger or smaller for their age. If your child falls between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size for comfort and room to grow. If you have questions, write to us with your child's measurements before purchasing and we'll help you confirm the ideal size.
