Frequently Asked Questions About Swimming Safety

What is the difference between a buoy and a life jacket?

A buoy is a floating device used to rest in the water or to learn to swim. A life jacket is worn on the body and is designed to keep the head above water, even if you are unconscious. A life jacket is mandatory for certain water activities.

At what age can a child use a buoy?

Babies can use special floats from 6 months old. But be careful, a float never replaces adult supervision! For older children, choose a float that's appropriate for their height and weight.

How to choose the right size life jacket?

To choose the right vest, consider your weight and chest measurement. The vest should fit snugly, but not too tight. It shouldn't ride up when you raise your arms. Don't hesitate to try it on before buying.

Are all life jackets waterproof?

Most life jackets are water-resistant, but not all are 100% waterproof. Neoprene vests, for example, absorb some water but remain effective. Self-inflating vests are generally more waterproof.

How do I maintain my water safety equipment?

Always rinse your equipment with fresh water after use, especially after swimming. Dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight. Check regularly for tears or leaks. For self-inflating lifejackets, follow the manufacturer's care instructions.

At Waterplanet , we take swimming safety very seriously. With our full range of equipment, from life jackets to buoys and accessories , you can enjoy the water with complete peace of mind.
