| Learning to swim encourages the psycho-motor development of young kids. |
DECATHLON offers 3 Learning to Swim experiences: Discovering the water, Discovering swimming and Discovering underwater. Appropriate products are offered for each experience.
The TISWIM 2 adaptive armbands-belt is part of the “Discovering Water” experience.
Its adaptability makes it possible to support the kid through their water discovery with a buoyancy level that reduces in accordance with their progress and helps them to discover different positions in the water. |
| Why use adaptable armbands? |
Given the fact that it’s often difficult to find the correct flotation aid for your kids and to anticipate how well they take to the water and their confidence, we designed the Tiswim 2. With its modular design, this progressive armband lets kids discover the pleasure of playing in the water, moving around and learning their first swimming movements in complete safety. |
| What are the 3 ways of using the Tiswim? |
Step 1/Initially, the Tiswim is used with all the parts (armbands + belt in front)
Step 2/Armbands only, to start moving in the water in a vertical position
Step 3/Belt only positioned at the back to discover the swimmer’s position (horizontal) and the first movements of swimming. |
| Secure fastening system |
The adjustment strap on the front chamber is equipped with a 3-point buckle to prevent the child from removing it themselves.
The buckle requires at least two simultaneous or sequential actions to prevent unintended opening. |
| How does the valve work? |
The TISWIM progressive armbands-waistband have PVC one-way inflation valves.
To inflate the product correctly, press the base of the valve to open it.
The valve closes mechanically in about 2 seconds. As such, it is normal for a bit of air to escape after inflation. This is why you must close the cap quickly. |
| How much should I inflate the different parts of the Tiswim? |
The armbands are always inflated to the maximum. However, you should ideally inflate the second chamber directly on your kid’s arm.
It’s best to inflate the belt before putting it on your child, when it’s going to be used in a front or back position. |
| How can I adjust the belt in the front position? |
When the product is optimally used. Inflate the front chamber, and position it on your child’s chest. Tighten the strap on the back, as you usually would. When in use, make sure that the front chamber doesn’t rise up to your child’s chin, to avoid it rubbing. If needed, don’t hesitate to reposition the product on your child’s torso. |
| Recommendation to avoid premature discolouration |
After use, rinse your product and do not leave it in direct sunlight. |
