The Original Puddle Jumper®


From the moment their toes first hit the water, parents want their kids to feel confident as they learn how to swim. Since 2009, The Original Puddle Jumper® life jacket has grown into a versatile line of comfortable products for kids in all stages of childhood that build swimmer confidence, while practicing proper water safety. Built upon the Stearns® brand, well established for more than 60 years in conquering uncharted waters and developing new water safety standards with the U.S. Coast Guard, The Original Puddle Jumper® life jackets help put parents at ease while giving children the freedom to have fun in the water.
