Splash About Go Splash Float Jacket

Product Information

Warmth—younger babies will still need extra warmth, especially in cooler pools, so choose baby swimwear which is made from neoprene, or has a thermal lining.

The Happy Nappy Duo offers the same reliable leak protection as the Happy Nappy, with the added benefit of a silver lined layer that acts as a 2nd nappy, insisted upon by swim schools. This silver lining kills germs before they leave the nappy, protecting your baby and other swimmers from pathogens leaking into the pool. Both the Happy Nappy and the Happy Nappy Duo are accepted and endorsed by UK Swim Schools.

Come back when you're older

Floatsuits are available as a classic swimming costume style Floatsuit, or in designs with fabric to protect arms and legs from the sun, like our UV Floatsuit. Great confidence booster with arms free for splashing and playing - my son has no complaints with this unlike the various rings and armbands I have tried.

Floatsuits work with your child’s natural buoyancy, preventing them from sinking while enabling them to put their head underwater if they want to. Although they help keep the child safe in the water, they are swimming aids and aren’t intended as a safety device. Rinse the floatsuit thoroughly in cool water after use and leave to dry naturally, out of direct sunlight.For peace of mind, choose baby swimwear with an integrated swim nappy, as these are designed to prevent faeces leaking into the pool. Alternatively, use a reusable swim nappy with your child’s usual swimming costume.

Preventing leaks—your baby will be in the pool for longer periods now they’re older, so choose swimwear with an integrated swim nappy to avoid any accidents. The most important factors to consider for taking babies aged 12–18 months swimming are as follows:

Floatsuits are essentially a swimsuit and swimming aid in one. Using them means you don’t need to worry about getting your child to wear armbands or rely on them to hold on to floats when they are in the water. Clean soiled suits in a washing machine on a warm wash with a gentle detergent. Don’t use fabric conditioner as this can damage the material’s UPF coating. Remember to remove all the floats first Skin sensitivity—newborn babies often have sensitive skin, which can be irritated by chlorine. If your baby has a skin condition such as eczema, choose baby swimwear that will help keep their barrier cream in place. I love that the flotation bars can be removed gradually as she becomes a stronger swimmer, until it will really just be her ‘swimming coat’. It comes in the gorgeous array of patterns that we love about the Splash About products.
