Swimming vests are usually made of different plastic groups to offer lightness, comfort and portability, however this makes the recycling process difficult or impossible. Children grow fast and learn to swim quickly. The average lifespan of a swimming vest is between 4 to 12 weeks. After use, they are disposed or burned for energy recovering.

Swimfinergy is a swimming vest that supports the child in all learning phases. Made completely of thermoplastic polyurethane, thus making it easily recyclable after use. It consists of two modular parts to provide versatility of use and adaptability.
The two parts used together place the child in a nearly vertical position, with its head above the water. Thus allowing it to practice its first swimming movements safely while offering stability and greater freedom of movement of arms and shoulders.
When the child feels confident in the water, the waistband helps it discover the swimmer’s horizontal position. The upper collar can be detached and used as a swimming board promoting active learning.

Swimfinergy can be easily washed and reused. When it reaches the end of its life it can be mechanically recycled without having to separate the different parts of the product.
