This review is from: Speedo Kid's UV Neoprene Swim Vest (Sports)

I have 2 boys, ages 3 and 5, both of which are in the beginner swimming stages. Our local Y did not allow swimmies or arm floats and recommended the swim vest instead. I was afraid that my 5, almost 6 year old would feel uncomfortable in the vest since most kids his age do not need such a device. However, speedo has such a wonderful variety of style and "big boy" designs, that my son never became upset when he put it on or when he played with his peers. It has given him the confidence in the water to concentrate on swimming and safety techniques while giving me a greater sense of security with both my kids saftey. This vest is only for helping beginner swimmers, and not for boats or used as perservers. It is not a full lifejacket but rather a very lightweight "shirt" vest that zippers in the front like a jacket and buckles under the legs. We have had no issues with rashes when they wear a shirt underneath. The fabric is soft and seems very duable, other than snags here and there, the vests have held up well especially with two very active boys.

As for Sizes - The Medium size is for ages 2-4 or 33-45 lbs and 22 in in chest. The large is for 4-6 year olds, with weight 45-60 lbs and 24 inches in chest. I enclosed a picture of the chart.

Hope that Helps!

The large fit my 5-year-old really well. She's 44 inches tall and weighs 44 pounds. She wore it the whole weekend at the water park and it was great.

My kids love the vests. The fit well. Easy/quick to put on and easily adjustable once they are wearing them. The vest give them added confidence in the water and allow them to practice their swimming safely and more independently. Well worth the money.
