Great for building confidence, as a game of catch, or a race to see who can collect it first. Don’t forget, they are small and light so are another great thing to sneak into that packed suitcase.
Water Wings Vest (Deep Sea/ Mermaid Flower)
Has your child finished their swimming lessons for the term but you don’t want them to forget everything they’ve learnt? Holidays are the perfect time to practice. The Water Wings Vest is a great piece of swimming gear to help guide them through the summer ready for their return in the new school term. It’s designed to place the child in the natural swimming position using the neoprene fixed-buoyancy body and strategically sewn-in floats in the arms and shoulders. Placing the child in this position allows them to try out the swim strokes as the floats are there to support them. Meanwhile, with the zip at the back there is no chance of it coming off mid swim. The fabric also means it is quick to dry, perfect for holiday.
