Konfidence Child Swimming Jacket: Review + Giveaway!

Well it's officially summer friends!! Time for outdoor BBQs, Beach, Lake, River and/or Pool Time! I was a little nervous this year about McKenzie's take on large bodies of water. She loved it last summer, however, she was only 8 months and was nestled in a little floaty boat most of the time or I held her as we skipped through the water. This summer she's over a year and a half with new excitements and fears. I prayed that she would love water as I much as I do. I actually can't remember a summer where I wasn't at the pool all day everyday. Lucky for me her first trip to the beach was a success and our pool day was an even bigger success. With our local pool having a "beach entry", Kenzie did not waste any time running right out into the pool and began splashing around. Thank goodness I put on her Konfidence Swimmer's Jacket beforehand or everyone would've heard one loud and panicked mommy as I quickly ran in with her. If your little loves water as much as mine does, this would be a wonderful swimming aid to add to your list of swim time must-haves.
The brand Konfidence is the "leading designer of premium protective swimwear for babies and children." Along with their array of adorably designed buoyancy swimming devices, they also offer on-the-go child accessories allowing you and your little to enjoy your time in the water.

Konfidence was kind enough to send us their award winning children's swimming aid - the original Konfidence Swimming Jacket. This Jacket is "constructed out of high quality durable neoprene shell with soft Lycra/Poly interior." With the wetsuit grade neoprene and design, it does not ride up causing an uncomfortable fit. It also features 8 removable floaties that allow me to adjust the buoyancy level as McKenzie's swimming skills progress.

Your child's weight is key when adjusting buoyancy as well. My little is a little too light to have all the floaty bars inserted. When all floaters are inserted, she tends to tip forward and/or backwards. Your child should be at shoulder level with water surface at all times (see video below). This may require you to remove a few of the floaters so that your child remains at correct water level :)

McKenzie loved having a little bit of space to enjoy the water. However, even though she does have her Konfidence Swimming Jacket on, I am right by her side at a finger tips reach.  This jacket is strictly to help keep your child at the service. I cropped my arms out of the photos below as to not be a distraction. My little one is still learning the concept of holding her head out of the water when on her belly so under no circumstances will she be further than a finger tips reach away for more than a few seconds.
This swimmer's jacket is designed with a Yellow back for high-visibility. It also promotes correct swimming position helping your child achieve the face forward swimming position. Since Kenzie is not at a face forward swimming level yet, I do not allow her to stay in this position very long as I stated above. As she gets older and grows to be a confident swimmer, I will allow more freedom and adjust the buoyancy level as needed.
We are very happy with our Konfidence Swimming Jacket and know you will be to.
