How it compares in Water Sports
Across the 17 rated water sports products we track, the typical score is 4.5 out of 5. This one sits at 4.6, which puts it in the upper quarter of the category rather than level with it. Where almost everything is rated well, the gap at the top is small in points and large in practice. That places it second of the 17 we rank here.
It carries 2,247 ratings against a category median of 2,283. That is enough of a base to take the score seriously without treating it as settled.
On price it sits in the upper third of a category running from £8.49 to £25.99, where the midpoint is about £12.74. Paying above the category norm needs a reason beyond the rating, because the score alone does not justify the gap here.

Key features
- LEARN TO SWIM – The Go Splash Swim Vest is a lightweight learn to swim aid that holds children in the correct position for learning to swim. The vest removes the need for bulky armbands and allows children to move freely without the restriction of inflatable armbands. The vest will naturally tip the child forward with their shoulders towards the water to allow them to get used to the swimming position and help them find their water balance and confidence.
- PERFECT FOR TRAVELS – Designed with travelling in mind, the Go Splash Swim Vest is compact and lightweight. The float inside is made from one, flat piece, which is non-removable. This means it can be packed easily into suitcases and beach bags, leaving room for other travel essentials.
- COMFORTABLE – The Go Splash Swim Vest is made from high quality neoprene, with soft binding to prevent chafing under the arms when wet. The robust zip is covered with a soft tab to stop any chafing under the chin. It is quick-drying so it can be taken off and put on again as your child comes in and out of the water during the day.
- AWARD-WINNING – The Go Splash Swim Vest is trusted by parents and loved by children. It has won many awards since it’s invention, with consecutive wins at the Loved by Children and Made for Mums awards. In 2023 alone, at the Loved by Children Awards, it has taken Platinum in the Best Swimming Product category, Gold in the Best Swim Aid category and Gold in the Best Children’s Travel Invention category.
- SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT – The Go Splash Swim Vest has been tested and conforms to the CE European standard: EN 13138-1: 2014. It must be used under adult supervision and is not a life saving device. Not to be used in place of a life jacket.
