Buoyant aids for swimming instruction - Part 2: Safety requirements and test methods for buoyant aids to be held

This European Standard specifies safety requirements for construction, performance, sizing and marking for swimming devices intended to assist users with movement through the water in the early stages of water awareness, whilst learning to swim or whilst learning part of a swimming stroke. It also gives methods of test for verification of these requirements.
This part of the European Standard, Part 2, covers class C devices that are designed to assist with swimming strokes and improving specific elements of the stroke, which have either inherent buoyancy or can be inflated. It includes devices that are held in the hands or by the body.  It does not apply to pull buoys, buoyancy aids, lifejackets or aquatic toys.

Auftriebshilfen für das Schwimmenlernen - Teil 2: Sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für Auftriebshilfen, die gehalten werden

Diese Europäische Norm legt sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen an Konstruktion, Gebrauchstauglichkeit, Größen und Kennzeichnung von Auftriebshilfen fest, die dazu bestimmt sind, Benutzer bei der Bewegung im Wasser in den frühen Phasen der Wasserwahrnehmung, beim Schwimmenlernen oder beim Erlernen eines Teils einer Schwimmbewegung zu unterstützen. Weiterhin werden Prüfverfahren zur Verifizierung dieser Anforderungen angegeben.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Auftriebshilfen der Klasse C, die dafür ausgelegt sind, Schwimmbewegungen zu unterstützen und einzelne Elemente der Schwimmbewegungen zu verbessern, und die entweder einen Eigenauftrieb besitzen oder aufgeblasen werden können. Sie behandelt Auftriebshilfen, die in den Händen, vom Körper oder zwischen den Beinen gehalten werden. Sie gilt nicht für Schwimmhilfen, Rettungswesten oder Wasserspielzeuge.

Aides à la flottabilité pour l'apprentissage de la natation - Partie 2 : Exigences de sécurité et méthodes d'essai relatives aux dispositifs à tenir

La présente Norme européenne fixe les exigences de sécurité s'appliquant à la fabrication, à l'efficacité, à la taille et au marquage des aides à la flottabilité pour l'apprentissage de la natation, conçues pour soutenir l'utilisateur et lui permettre d'effectuer des mouvements dans l'eau, lors de ses premiers contacts avec l'eau, lorsqu'il apprend à nager ou lorsqu'il apprend un certain mouvement de natation. Elle préconise également des méthodes d'essai permettant de vérifier le respect de ces prescriptions.
La présente Norme européenne, Partie 2, couvre les dispositifs de type C flottants par eux-mêmes ou bien gonflables, qui sont conçus pour assister les mouvements de nage et améliorer des éléments particuliers de la nage. Elle comprend les dispositifs que l’utilisateur tient dans les mains, place sous son corps ou tient entre les jambes. Elle ne s'applique pas aux aides à la flottabilité, aux gilets de sauvetage ou aux jouets aquatiques.

Swim seats allow young children to experience the water environment and being moved through it. Movements of lower limbs and arms are possible.
The use of swim seats does however not replicate any form of a correct swimming stroke. Swim seats complying with this standard improve the in-water stability and minimise the entrapment risk in case of capsizing. Children in swim seats do however require very close parental supervision. Overload beyond specified body weight, breaking waves and violent external forces are remaining risks which can cause capsizing. Shallow water is likely to increase the risk of capsizing and to hinder or block the escape from the seat in case of emergency.

It does not apply to pull buoys, buoyancy aids, lifejackets or aquatic toys. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
