It is important to emphasize that children must always be under supervision when using the Sunnylife Kids Swim Vest or any other swimming aid. Here are our Top Tips on helping your water build up their water confidence:

Stay safe: When you're teaching a young child or a non-swimmer to be comfortable in the water, always stay in the shallow end. Find out if there's a shallow pool in your area; some leisure pools have a beach-like shallow end that's just a few centimetres deep – perfect for nervous youngsters. Others have a variable floor, which is raised for family sessions so the water is shallower. Never try to teach a non-swimming child to swim in the sea or open water.

Make it fun: Games such as Marco/Polo and I Spy will get your child moving. Bring along some pool toys to splash about with, or their favourite bath toys to splash about with – Barbie and Action Man are waterproof!

Take it slowly: If your child hates putting their face under, teach them to hold their breath and put only their mouth in the water at first. Then move on so they're putting their mouth and nose under; do it with them and hold hands so they can see your eyes and hair aren't getting wet. Goggles might help them feel more confident about putting their face in the water, and can help them develop their aquatic breathing skills (and they'll love the novelty of being able to see underwater).

Teach them to float: Floating is a key skill that could save your child's life if they fell into water, so it's important to teach them how to do it. Support your child on their back and sing a song such as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for reassurance. Now try on their front. Eventually they will be able to do it on their own and can try stretching their arms and legs into a star shape, and curling up into a tuck position.

Try kicking: Use the side for support, with your child holding the trough or rail and lifting their legs up. Hold them under their tummy at first; you'll know they're feeling comfortable when they stretch out into a flatter position.

Use a flotation device: Although your goal is for your child to swim without aids, armbands and other flotation devices are brilliant for confidence. Buoyancy vests, arm discs, arm bands, woggles and floats are good to try out.

Make it routine: Go to the pool regularly with your child, even during the winter. It might be chilly outside, but the water will be warm and the pool is likely to be less crowded than in the summer. Like anything, improvement will happen much quicker if your child keeps practising.

Stay safe and enjoy! While the Swim Vest provides extra buoyancy and can help children feel more comfortable in the water, it is not a substitute for proper adult supervision. Parents and caregivers should always keep a close eye on children when they are swimming or playing in the water, and should never leave them unattended. By following these important safety guidelines, children can safely enjoy all the fun and excitement of swimming, while parents can have peace of mind knowing that their little ones are safe and protected.
