A. Anything inflatable can suddenly deflate. Water wings and buoyancy vests are designed as a swim aid not as a lifesaving device. They will keep your child’s body floating but not necessarily keep their face out of the water. We have USCG approved lifejackets in a variety of sizes for you to use while swimming.
