Frequently Asked Questions
A swim ring is an inflatable ring used for fun in the pool. It's a pool toy, not a swimming aid, so always keep an eye on children when they're using one.
Age and size guides are the most reliable way to find the right fit, as sizes vary between brands. Check the product page or packaging before you buy to make sure you choose the right one.
Most inflatable rings have a valve, so a hand, foot or electric pump will do the job. Don't overinflate it, because too much air puts pressure on the seams.
Swim rings are pool toys, not swimming aids. They're brilliant fun in the pool, but always supervise children in the water, especially those who aren't yet confident swimmers.
