When it comes to our children's safety on the water, every detail counts. The Floatee anti-drowning T-shirt is an innovative answer to protecting little ones from the unconscious dangers of the water. Offering double protection against UV rays and the risk of drowning, this option can be a real lifeline for families who want to enjoy their summer activities at sea with peace of mind.
Significant protection against drowning
The anti-drowning T-shirt should not be confused with a swimming suit, or with floats and armbands designed to help children learn to swim: it is a vital protective device. Lightweight (350 grams), it can be worn out of the water, allowing children to play by the shore, or to frolic more freely on the deck of a boat. While parents can relax, children are protected!
The CE-certified garment can be removed like an ordinary T-shirt before swimming. Available in several colors and sizes for children aged 2 to 6, it includes a two-tone anti-UV UPF50+ tee-shirt with OEKO-TEX standard 100 certification, plus built-in buoyancy with an automatic release system in less than 5 seconds, ready for use. Price in 2024: ?149.
It requires immersion to activate. To this end, the anti-drowning device built into the T-shirt is automatically triggered when submerged, whether following a fall or a simple unsupervised swim. In less than 5 seconds, the lung inflates instantly, allowing the child to turn onto his or her back, nose and mouth out of the water.
Reusability and versatility
The anti-drowning tee-shirt offers a practical and versatile experience. You can easily separate the tee-shirt part from the rescue bladder to perform several tasks: wash the tee-shirt, replace the tee-shirt part with another design or change its size to follow your child's growth, and recharge the trigger system in the event of immersion in water. Only the refill (CO2 capsule and water-soluble sensor) is single-use, priced at ?29 in 2024.
Recommendations
It's important to note that, although the anti-drowning T-shirt is effective, it doesn't replace the need for an approved lifejacket on board a boat, nor the vigilance of an adult. If, according to the testimonials gathered, parents feel more serene knowing that their child is wearing this device, children also seem to appreciate it: for those who have a certain apprehension of the water, it can give them confidence and enable them to apprehend the sea in a different way. But don't forget to remind them of the safety instructions on board, and encourage them to learn to swim, as this is the best way to avoid sinking!
The anti-drowning T-shirt is also available in an adult version.
