Swim Essentials Swim Ring 55cm | Cozy Hearts

How should I store my inflatables after use?
After use, make sure to dry your inflatable thoroughly before storing it. If you store it while still damp, there is a higher risk of leaks developing during the winter period.

What material are the inflatables made of?
At Swim Essentials, we produce our inflatables in the cleanest way possible. This means we use the highest-quality, clean PVC, and all our PVC is fully recyclable.

Are the inflatables safe and tested?
Yes, our inflatables are completely safe! They have been tested according to the strictest European laws and regulations, ensuring your child can safely enjoy the water.

Can the inflatable burst while inflating?
Yes, it can happen, but the chance of this occurring is very small. Be cautious when using an electric pump to inflate your inflatable — make sure not to overinflate it to prevent the material from bursting.
