About

What is Paddle Pals?

Paddle Pals offers the safest U.S. Coast Guard and Transport Canada-approved swim vests for children aged 2-6 years old, weighing between 33-55 lbs. These vests are designed to help young swimmers build confidence in the water while ensuring their safety. Each vest features a safety shoulder harness to prevent sliding off and arm bands to aid in swimming

Why Choose Paddle Pals?

Paddle Pals offers several significant advantages over other swim aids:

Safety: Paddle Pals features a patented shoulder harness system that ensures the vest stays securely in place, even during active play. This design makes it nearly impossible for children to remove the vest by themselves, greatly reducing the risk of accidents. In contrast, other swim aids without this harness, like some Puddle Jumpers, can be easily slipped off by children, potentially leading to dangerous situations. This makes Paddle Pals a safer and more reliable choice for keeping your child secure in the water.

What are the different types of Paddle Pals swim vests available?

Paddle Pals offers several types of swim vests, including:

Paddle Pals® Original: Ideal for swimming lessons and general water activities.

Paddle Pals Splash®: A Type V/III PFD designed for boating activities, available in various fun designs like Turtle Bird, Flamingo, and Unicorn.

How do I choose the right size for my child?

Paddle Pals swim vests are designed for children between 33-55 lbs. Ensure the vest fits snugly, with the harness and straps properly adjusted. Always refer to the product descriptions for specific size recommendations.

Are Paddle Pals vests comfortable for children?

Yes, Paddle Pals vests are made with soft, durable polyester to prevent chafing and ensure comfort. The design includes an adjustable chest strap and a quick-release rear safety buckle, making it easy to fit and secure the vest on your child
