Some embodiments of the present disclosure include a multipurpose swim vest for keeping a user safe around a body of water while also providing the user with entertainment. The swim vest may include a swim vest configured to accommodate a user's torso, a water pistol removably attached to vest fabric of the swim vest, the water pistol having a toy tube extending therefrom, a vest tube positioned within a channel in the swim vest, the vest tube extending from a position proximate to a user's side through the channel and out of a bottom surface of the swim vest, and a siphon tube attached to the vest tube. Water may be siphoned through the siphon tube, the vest tube, and the toy tube into the water pistol when the user pulls a trigger on the water pistol, which may also cause water to squirt out of the water pistol.
