Fit Notes — Speedo Armbands

Always size by weight, not age. Children of the same age can vary considerably in size — use the weight range in the table above as the primary guide.
If your child falls between two weight ranges, select the larger size for safety and comfort.
When inflated, the armbands should fit snugly around the upper arm without sliding down toward the elbow or cutting into the arm. Deflate slightly if they feel too tight.
The safety valves are designed to prevent accidental deflation. Always check that the valves are fully closed before use and inspect the armbands for any signs of damage before each session.
Do not over-inflate the armbands — they should feel firm but with a slight give. Over-inflation can stress the seams and increase the risk of bursting.
Rinse in fresh water after every session, deflate fully, and allow to dry before storing. Store away from direct sunlight and sharp objects.
Children must be supervised by a responsible adult at all times when using armbands in or near water.
