In the sea of hard knocks that is childhood, keeping your head above water can be a real challenge.

But with the Swimsafe Floatsuit, it can be a little easier. The clever Lycra suit has flexible foam panels securely sewn in to go around your child’s body and a cylinder-shaped piece for the neck.

The arms and legs are completely free to move (unlike in those water wings of yore), while the rest of the body stays afloat, making it safe for your little one to navigate any body of water. Plus, the suit provides excellent protection from the sun’s rays, so you can take comfort in the knowledge that your child is going out into the world with a little extra protection.

Because out there, it’s sink or swim.
