Swimming Vest for older children 6+?

blue_monkey_2

I am trying to see if I can find a swimming vest for a good price for a child age 6+. Does anyone know the best place at all? My son has ASD and refuses to wear armbands and he is growing our of his Floaties one. I see Konfidence make one for older children but wondered where the cheapest place to get one would be. Thanks.

Try fledglings - they have disability aids for children of all ages, including swin=mming aids. They're also not too expensive compared to most places

Have you considered a SwimFin? It's more 'fun' than armbands or vests and suited to whatever ability the swimmer is.

Hi, thanks for the suggestions. I've looked at Fledglings and there are some bits that are of interest on there, thank you, it is quite local to me too. The swim fin will be no good but it does look fun, it has to be a jacket. It looks Konfidence are the only ones who make these so I shall get one of those. Thank you for your help.

How about trying your local swim club - they may be willing to help source something or have other ideas?
