Now with a New Anti-Rise Safety Strap for Enhanced Comfort & Security Build water confidence, boost swim skills, and travel light!

One of our mum reviewers tried a swim vest for her 2 year old and just loved it. I felt it was the safety way to enjoy the water and my baby was perfectly happy wearing it.  Splash About is making waves with the launch of its newly redesigned Go Splash Swim Vest – an award-winning learn-to-swim aid, now featuring a secure, adjustable anti-rise safety strap. This clever addition ensures a snug fit, preventing the vest from riding up in the water for even more comfort and safety.

Lightweight, compact, and durable, the Go Splash Swim Vest is the ultimate travel companion for water-loving families. It packs flat, dries quickly, and is made from premium neoprene offering UPF50+ sun protection – perfect for all-day wear in and out of the water.

“We believe swimming is a vital life skill, and it all starts with water confidence,” says Samantha Williams, Joint Managing Director of Splash About International Ltd. “Our updated swim vest keeps little ones comfortable and supported in the water, so they can focus on having fun and learning to swim safely.”

Ideal for children aged 2 to 6, this swim vest positions little swimmers correctly in the water, helping them improve their skills faster – especially with daily pool time on holiday. Unlike armbands or floats, the Go Splash Swim Vest allows free arm movement. It features puncture-proof, non-removable foam floats placed around the torso for stability, a secure chunky zip, and soft binding to prevent chafing.

Key Features:

  • New adjustable anti-rise safety strap for a secure fit

  • Lightweight & compact – packs flat for easy travel

  • Non-removable puncture-proof floats – no risk of deflation

  • Neoprene construction with UPF50+ protection

  • Six stylish designs to mix and match with Splash About swimwear

  • Available now at splashabout.comRRP £24.99

From baby wetsuits to buoyancy aids, swim nappies to toddler swim shorts, Splash About is the trusted name in water confidence from birth to age six – and beyond.
