Supervision remains a must
While a baby float is ideal to make your baby get used to the water, supervision remains super important. Even though you think your baby is all comfortable in a baby float there must always be an adult to monitor the situation. Moreover is incredibly import to follow the instructions when you inflate the baby float for usage.

Frequently asked questions: Baby Floats
At what age can a baby go in a baby float?
Swim Essentials baby floats come in two versions. The 0-1 year float (up to 11 kg) has a built-in seat and, depending on the model, two or four air chambers. For 1 to 2 years there are floats with a seat and backrest. Follow the age and weight on the product, inflate all chambers fully and always keep your hand within reach of your baby.
What size baby float should I choose?
Look at your baby's age and weight, not just the diameter. Up to about 11 kg and 1 year old, choose the 0-1 year float with seat. Is your toddler between 1 and 2 years? Then the 1-2 years float with backrest fits better. Once your child is 2 or older and weighs 15 kg or more, arm bands for 2-6 years or a Swim Jumper are the next step.
What should my baby wear in the swimming pool?
Many pools ask for a swim diaper for babies and toddlers who are not yet potty trained. Add UV swimwear with UPF 50+ and a sun hat for outdoor pools and the beach, because young skin burns quickly. A beach poncho or towel keeps your baby warm after swimming.
Baby float or arm bands: which is better?
For babies under 1 year, a baby float with a seat is the more logical choice: your baby sits in it and the air chambers give stability. Arm bands keep only the arms afloat, so your child has to hold their own body upright. In both cases, an adult stays within arm's reach at all times.
Is the baby float safe and tested?
Yes. Our baby floats have been carefully tested according to the strictest European laws and regulations and comply with the EN-13138-3 standard. A baby float supports your baby in the water, but it is not a lifesaving device. Inflate all air chambers fully, follow the age and weight on the product and always keep your hand within reach of your baby.
Is a baby swim ring with a neck ring the same as a baby float?
No. A neck ring is worn around your baby's neck. A baby float is an inflatable ring with a seat with leg holes: your baby sits upright in the water and keeps the arms free. The floats are made of sturdy PVC, have several air chambers and come with a repair kit. Never leave your baby in it alone, not even for a moment.
Do I need to inflate the baby float?
Yes, you inflate the baby float through the valve, by mouth or with an electric pump. It takes about a minute. Inflate all air chambers fully and check before every use that the float is still firm. With the Swim Essentials Air Pump SE (150 litres per minute), inflating floats, swim rings and pools goes faster.
