paqua
swimming aid for kids, 2021
Paqua is a modular swimming aid for children. It allows the child to learn to swim in a safe yet playful manner without restricting their range of motion.
With Paqua, we have developed a modular swimming aid that supports the child at the key areas needed for learning to swim. EVA plastic flotation bodies ensure the perfect water position in front of the chest and in the pelvic area. The swallowtail plug-in principle allows for modular arrangement and individual customization of the flotation bodies to fit the child. The basic structure consists of a chest and kidney belt connected along the back. It runs below the arm line, along the chest arch, ensuring maximum freedom of movement for the child in the arm and shoulder area. The use of cellular rubber provides a comfortable wearing experience without compromising on secure support. The BOA closure system enables precise and uniform size adjustment. With its vibrant color and design concept, Paqua represents a power suit in which children have fun while learning to swim. This project was created in collaboration with the „Swimsalabim“ swimming school.
