The FibreAir®: a small accident that will change history
Learn moreIn France, in the 90s, a father sees his girl fall into the family pool and saves her from drowning. His name is Alain Belkadi, and he is a textile professional. He then has the idea of a swimwear bath that would protect children and teach them to swim.
Years later, somewhere in Italy, engineers inject too much air into a hollow synthetic fiber intended for building thermal insulation. The fiber is unusable, but surprise: it floats! Alain Belkadi hears about it. It's all he needed to bring his idea to life.
This is the beginning of the Plouf adventure!

The Floating swimsuit is born, the safety standard too!
Learn moreDuring two years of research and development, the fiber is worked, transformed, and optimized. In 2000, the very first Floating swimsuit for children is born. Alain Belkadi wants to have it certified immediately.
But surprise! No standard exists at the time to guarantee the safety of this type of product. He will therefore approach the CRITT and collaborate closely with them to create the specifications for the first European safety standard for flotation accessories.
The NF EN 13138-1 standard is born, the Floating swimsuit Plouf is the first to be certified.

An international success & a national partnership
Learn moreFor 20 years, Plouf has been distributed in supermarkets, in France and abroad. More than 600,000 copies are sold worldwide. Plouf does not stop there. In 2022, it partners with the French Swimming Federation and the French Academy of Swimming for an official partnership.
Since then, every year, Plouf participates in the event I Learn to Swim organized by the Ministry of Sports, the Metropolis of Nice and the French Swimming Federation. Floating swimsuits are offered there and children can discover them on site with the help of lifeguards.
The common goal: to make learning to swim accessible to all to protect children from drowning during swimming.
