Why choose this product? Limmys is a British family business that has been distributing high-quality children's products for many years, including the Limmys children's swim vest, in the UK and Europe. Our focus is on learning fun, functionality, affordability and of course safety first and foremost.
Unique design – Why settle for anything but the best? Unlike other designs, the Limmys vest has an additional strap that attaches under the child's crotch, meaning that the vest stays in place and increases the safety of the products. The zip is extra strong to ensure it won't break easily even after multiple uses.
Please view the picture and video for size determination before purchasing. To help you choose the right size for your child, please view our picture and video to ensure that the child for whom the swim vest is intended gets the most comfortable fit. Chest circumference is the most important measurement because not all children of the same age or weight are the same size. If your child's measurements are between two sizes, we recommend the larger size.
Not all children are the same – we know it's never easy to choose the right size. Our photos have been created so that you can correctly decide which size fits your child, be it a baby swim vest from ages 1 and up or a swim vest children 7–10 years.
Designed for Safety, Warmth and Comfort - At Limmys, all of our products, including children's swim vests, are designed by parents for parents. We have children ourselves and have also collected bad experiences with swim vests before insisting there must be a better solution. So we designed our own. With the help of our children, we have created the perfect swim vest for you.
