Frequently Asked Questions
Does this flotation vest prevent drowning?
No. This vest is a swim-learning buoyancy aid, not a life-saving device and not designed to prevent drowning. Always use it under constant adult supervision.
What ages is the NVP swim vest recommended for?
It’s designed for babies and young children ages 1–6, in two sizes based on age and weight: Size S and Size M.
Can it be used in a pool and in the ocean?
Yes—use it in pools, supervised beaches, and family water settings, always with adult supervision and in safe conditions.
How is it different from armbands or traditional floaties?
Unlike passive floaties, this vest provides balanced buoyancy, supports a natural body position, and allows free movement—helping children learn progressively.
