About this product
Designed for young swimmers aged 6 to 12, these deluxe inflatable armbands from Intex offer a fantastic way to build water confidence and practice swimming skills under supervision. The large armband size, measuring approximately 30 x 15cm, provides a comfortable fit for older children during pool sessions or holiday swimming. They’re a practical choice for developing a love of the water and helping youngsters gain independence in the pool.
Each armband is built with two separate air chambers to support dependable inflation – this adds an extra layer of reassurance when in use, and importantly, if one chamber were to deflate, the other would still provide buoyancy. Constructed from sturdy vinyl, these armbands are lightweight, easy to inflate and simple to pack away for holidays or trips to the beach.
The bright orange colour makes these swim armbands extremely easy to spot in the water, which is a key benefit when you’re watching children have fun – it’s a practical choice for busy pool days. They are designed with a standard size, offering support and stability during swimming practice.
Please note that these armbands aren't a substitute for full buoyancy aids or constant adult supervision. Always prioritise safety in and around the water.
