How cool is this foam fin design? It's bound to give your child hours of fun, tearing through the water doing their best shark impression and scaring off other visitors to the pool! 

As the fin sits above the water, leaving your kid's arms and legs free, it naturally adjusts to your their swimming ability and allows them to support their own weight. It's also slip-proof, providing that the straps are positioned properly. 

If your little sea dog needs to abandon ship or walk the plank, they'll need this stylish swim jumper to keep them out of Davy Jones' locker! Made from soft polyester, it's snug and helps to hold your child in a natural swimming position. 

Although this is a bit of a bulky purchase - especially if you're planning to take it on holiday - it's brilliant at keeping kids afloat. Best of all, it has the added security of a buckle that fastens around the back, which your child can't undo and remove on their own.

This soft neoprene jacket offers freedom of movement in the water, as well as having a bright design that's bound to appeal to your child. The strong zip features a cover when the jacket is fastened, which will deter your little one from trying to undo it. 

As this product is totally puncture-proof, you don't have to worry about any mishaps in the water. The only downside is that the buoyancy is fixed, meaning that you can't adjust it as your child's swimming ability improves. It's a fantastic buy for young swimmers though!

This swim seat provides the utmost stability, so your baby can enjoy the experience of splashing around - even if they're only a few months old! Allowing their legs to kick freely in the pool will build confidence and give their leg muscles some exercise. You'll be pleased to know that it's made with child-safe, low phthalate PVC too.

Just be aware that this product is meant for use in shallow water and should always be closely supervised, to make sure that your baby is never out of their depth.

This swim vest with permanent foam inserts is a secure and supportive choice for kids who are just starting to get used to being in the water. Its funky pink design is sure to be appealing to mini Paw Patrol fans, and it's incredibly soft and comfy to wear. 

The safety closure on the zip will prevent any mishaps, and there's an adjustable strap that goes between your little one's legs, ensuring that the vest stays put and doesn't ride up in the water. 

If your kid loves the ever-popular DC hero Batman, they'll jump at the chance to wear these cool armbands when splashing about! They feature dual air chambers to keep your mind at ease, and easy inflate valves which allow for 50% quicker inflation when compared to other armbands.

Zoggs also has other Batman-branded swimming accessories in its range, such as goggles and swimming caps - so why not treat your little one to the whole set? Just be aware that you're paying a premium for the design, as similar non-DC branded products are available at a lower price. 

These armbands by Zoggs feature a flat underarm gusset to make them comfortable to wear, and the bright orange design will keep your child visible in the water. They're also made from sturdy Vylux which doesn't tear or puncture easily, no matter how active your kid gets in the pool!

The buoyancy can be adjusted too as your little one gets older or as their confidence improves, but size-wise these armbands will only really fit kids up to the age of about 6 years old.

These aids worn on the upper arms are made from a solid foam-like material, meaning that there's no risk of them deflating while being used. The discs click together so you can adjust the buoyancy to suit your child's ability, which is always handy!

While these are the aid of choice for many swimming instructors, they can be uncomfortable to wear. As they hold your child in a more upright position in the water, they may also make the transition to swimming unaided a bit trickier. 

This ring, which is designed to be worn around the waist, is perfect for encouraging smaller children to kick around in the water. It has dual air chambers and it's made from durable material that won't tear or puncture.

Unfortunately, the design also means that it's easy for your child to slip through the middle of the ring and under the water, so make sure you're keeping an eye on your child if they're using this product.
