An inflatable swim vest is constructed with a first layer and a second layer having respective outer edges variously secured together by a temporary closure to define a compartment therebetween. An inflatable bladder arrangement includes an inflatable bladder stored and housed in a deflated condition in separate areas of the compartment. The inflatable bladder arrangement further includes an inflator mechanism operatively connected to a charged gas canister and to the inflatable bladder. The fixtures securing the outer edges of the first and second layers include a temporary closure configured for temporarily affixing the outer edges together and to be easily separable such that upon actuation of the inflator mechanism, gas is delivered to the inflatable bladder. This results in an inflated condition of the bladder, and produces a force that will open the temporary closure and enable expansion of the bladder out of the compartment of the vest.
