Golden Pools

The purpose of safety vests is to allow the wearer to be seen and to alert all that a person is present, especially in a low visibility situation. A safety vest is constructed out of reflective material and typically come in a slew of bright colors. While wearing a life jacket doesn't eliminate the need for supervision or for learning how to swim, it can be an added layer of protection against drowning. Providing safe life jackets can also help any adults who aren't confident swimmers enjoy the pool. They generally provide more buoyancy and give the wearer more freeboard (distance between the mouth and the water) by inclining the person onto their back to keep their face – mouth and nose – further from the water. Lifejackets are designed to help turn and keep the wearer face up even when unconscious.

Lifejackets are flotation devices which can be worn to keep a person afloat in the water. These are a crucial piece of equipment that have helped save thousands of lives over the years. A lifejacket is typically made of polyester stuffed with foam cubes, with reflective patches on the front and back. Most PFDs are constructed using nylon or polyester fabrics of varying weights (measured in Dtex) that are coated on one or two sides with Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) – a strong, transparent polymer that is highly customizable.
