Product Description
Details
The Original Konfidence Children's Swim Jacket was first released way back in 1998. Since then, it has become a bestselling buoyancy swimming aid and a firm favourite with parents and swimming teachers in over 25 countries worldwide.
Made from high-grade soft neoprene, our buoyancy jacket offers superb lateral and longitudinal stretch, as well as allowing a snug and comfortable fit. The Original Konfidence Jacket is a swim vest that incorporates eight internal float pockets, which positions the buoyancy around the wearer's torso and, most importantly, below the water line. This provides the stability to give the wearer confidence and freedom in the water, whilst crucially allowing their arms to remain free and unencumbered, helping them to learn and practise swimming strokes.
As the wearer's ability progresses, the floats of our flagship buoyancy swimming aid can be removed in pairs to reduce the buoyancy and encourage further development, making The Original Konfidence Jacket fully adjustable for your child's swimming skill level. Eventually, all floats are dispensed with and the user is a fully independent swimmer!
It is the attention to detail that sets The Original Konfidence Jacket apart from its imitators and ensures that you are purchasing the best product available.
- High-grade neoprene provides the most snug and secure fit, and reduces the ability of the jacket to move independently of the wearer
- Soft Lycra binding throughout the jacket minimises the possibility of chafing from rubbing
- Features a chunky YKK zip to maximise security and parents' confidence
- High neck design maximises thermal and UV properties (100% UV protective) when worn outdoors
- Trademark high-visibility yellow back as standard on all jackets to increase visibility on beaches and in crowded pools
- Full instructions on usage and adjustable buoyancy provided, as well as a customer care line to help answer any further questions
We never stand still, either – we continuously encourage feedback from our industry partners and high street customers, so the jacket's design evolves constantly. Although it was originally released over 15 years ago, we are proud to say that this evolution has helped the jacket to win numerous industry awards for product safety and innovation. Plus, as with all of our products, we back our confidence with a No Quibble Guarantee – if for any reason you are not satisfied with our product, we'll offer you a full refund, no question asked.

I have tried 3 different jackets and this is easily the best ! Fits well, keeps him afloat to the right level and floats can be taken out as he grows ! I used this brand on my older son also and I'm sure it was the reason he became 'confident' in the water ! (Posted on 24/05/2017)Quality Value Service - Good Review by Joanne

Nice jacket (Posted on 12/04/2017)Quality Value Service - Original Konfidense jacketReview by MARIA

These jackets are absolutely fabulous. When your child wears one of these the fear of falling into the pool accidentally is taken away, because it contains enough floats to keep your child afloat no matter what. But make sure you see the company measurement so that you get the correct sizing. Another great thing about the jacket is that when they are running around the pool the visual back of the jacket is easy to pick out from the crowd with ease.

Great jacket, used one before for my son but needed the next size up. The jacket makes it easier for him to use his arms when swimming. (Posted on 30/03/2017)Quality Value Service - great productReview by Carol

Placing order and delivery first class - jacket was for a two year old and on first use found that the neck kept rising high into the face and keeping child from actually floating correctly but perhaps as time goes by this will correct itself - thank you (Posted on 28/03/2017)Quality Value Service - Nice qualityReview by Ladybe

Ideal for starting to learn to swim, as you don't have to support them in the water. I'm using with armbands to start of with, otherwise its hard to stay upright. (Posted on 15/03/2017)Quality Value Service - FANTASTIC PRODUCT & SERVICEReview by Kelvyn

Bought this for my 7 year old Grandson. Previously we had used armbands. The product worked really well. It gave him sufficient buoyancy and he was unrestricted. Able to float with confidence and use arms and legs to propel himself along. He loved it and thought it was great. I also purchased a pair of goggles and these also were well received and helped with no water going in his eyes. My Grandson had so much fun in the Swim Jacket that an hour passed very quickly. Next step is to start the gradual removal of the floats within the jacket. I have to admit this was a worthwhile purchase, the overall progress made in this one session was amazing and I am pretty confident that the Swim jacket will speed up the process to the eventual swimming unaided.

Bought this for my 3 year old grandson to use when he comes to stay. He has used it today and it was a great success. Very comfortable and he had great confidence in the water whilst wearing his jacket.Quality Value Service

Great product. Used for a couple months now and still going strong. My son is 18months and at first he didn't like wearing it but that soon changed and he is fine with it now. The jacket has definitely helped him because he is quite happy to jump in (well flop) into the pool.Quality Value Service

Only used this once so far with my 17month old but already I can tell it's made a huge difference in how my son feels in the or water. It's given him an extra bit of confidence and I think after a few more sessions yell be even more happy in ghetto water. I wanted something that supported him but not anything like armbands when I came across this online. Definitely recommending to family and friends.

Purchased last week and tried and tested today at local pool. Our 6 year old loves the water but reluctant swimmer. The jacket - a medium - looked small - I was sceptical. But as soon as he hit the water he was away and I admit free styling - but most importantly swimming and enjoying completing widths and dunking his head. Genuinely surprised how fast he took to it. Great and safe product. I found one by chance in Spain - genuinely impressed! Wish we had discovered one 3 years ago. Great service too with plenty of information to hand.

I recently purchased 2 Konfidence swimming jackets for my grandchildren aged 4 and 2 the jackets purchased were KJ05SC and KJ14MC.Quality Value Service
Can I just that the jackets were absolutely fantastic; they've got to be one of the best things we purchased for them. At the end of their 3 week holiday in America both of them were swimming with total confidence and we at no time had to worry about them getting in to any difficulties while wearing the jackets. I found your website by accident and I’m so glad I did. As they get old we'll definitely be buying larger Konfidence jackets if required.
Fantastic product!!
Every parent (and grand parents) should know about these jackets, thank you so much. (Posted on 04/07/2013) - What a great product!Review by Alastair

I thought I'd write a short note to say how pleased we are with the Konfidence jacket which arrived a few days ago. We haven't work it in the pool yet, but I'm already very impressed by the design and the quality of the manufacturing - I can't wait to see our child (George, 18mths) going bonkers in the big pool. We tried it on last night and the fit is exactly as you describe it should be, about 2cm gap before zipping. It felt a bit tight to me at first, but Geore was not worried at all by this; in fact he spent half an hour wearing it around the house, because he had a tantrum every time we tried to take it off him. It's a big hit!Quality Value
Thanks very much for the product, and the great service. I'll definitely recommend it whenever the opportunity arises. (Posted on 04/07/2013)

Care InstructionsThe Original Konfidence Jacket should be washed in cold clean water and hung to dry in the shade. Do not tumble dry and do not iron. If the jacket is used in the swimming pool or sea, chlorine and seawater can have a bleaching effect on the colours and damage Lycra threads, so to avoid degradation please rinse out in clean water as soon as possible. Please do not leave in a warm or hot car without rinsing first, as this can increase the chance of chlorine damage. MaterialsThe major components we use are chunky self-locking YKK zips, nylon, polyester, 2.5 mm neoprene and Lycra, plus layered EPE foam floats. ConstructionWe use flatlock seams (the same as those used on good quality wetsuits) on the shell to eliminate uncomfortable and unsightly ridged seams. TestingThe Original Konfidence Jacket is tested to EN13138-1 (2008), the current standard for class B buoyant aids to swimming. This includes materials and buoyancy tests to ensure that it is well made, robust and fit for purpose. It has also been tested and complies with AS1900 (Australia) and SA SANS53138-2 (South Africa). In addition, we have tested the outer material for its UV protection qualities. Compliance
