Learning to swim encourages the psycho-motor development of young kids.
DECATHLON offers 3 Learning to Swim experiences: Discovering the water, Discovering swimming and Discovering underwater. Appropriate products are offered for each experience.
The Armbands are part of the "Discovering the water" experience.
Very good buoyancy in the arms allows the kids to keep their head above water. They gradually gain confidence during their aquatic discovery. The kid moves in the water more in the vertical position by moving their legs.
Fitting the product on the child’s arms
Inflate one chamber, put the armband on the upper arm and inflate the other.
Product weight
Approximately 150 g per pair
Safety
2 independent inflatable chambers of the same size on each armband.
How does the valve work?
Our armbands have PVC one-way inflation valves.
To inflate the armbands correctly, press the base of the valve to open it.
The valve closes mechanically in about 2 seconds. As such, it is normal for a bit of air to escape after inflation. This is why you must close the cap quickly.
What should I do if the armbands deflate while I’m inflating it?
There could be a valve malfunction. The valve is not closing normally. Too much air is escaping before the cap is closed. To replace it correctly, pinch the valve 2 or 3 times with your fingers, then inflate the product to the maximum and close the cap. The flap should reposition itself properly.
Recommendation to avoid premature discolouration
After using them, rinse your armbands. Do not leave them in direct sunlight.
