Aquatic toys and flotation aids

Swimming and flotation aids such as armbands and swimming aid vests are used to help keep children afloat and gain water confidence. Flotation and aquatic toys such as inflatable novelty shapes, inflatable boats and swim rings can also help in keeping children afloat while they play in the water. Children who cannot swim could drown if their swimming, flotation aid or aquatic toy fails, if they do not use the aid properly or are not supervised by a competent adult.
