Back Float Safety Swim Trainer Swimming Bubble Belt with Adjustable Split Layers Swim Bubbles Belts Secure Clip Buckle Progressive Swim Floaties for Kids Toddler Children Sport Pool Lesson

I need to update. ****************************************************************************************** I've been offered up to $80 in exchange for changing this bad review. I keep blocking the email addresses, but they don't seem to be getting any new ones. I admire their tenacity, but I'm not going to give in to the pressure. Without constant supervision, this belt can be dangerous. Perilous. This was great until my daughter jumped in the pool and it came off. Thankfully, we had been practicing, and she made it to the top of the ladder. Don't put your faith in it like you would in a life jacket.

Give your year-old granddaughter the courage to learn to swim. To keep the floaters from riding up when she jumps into the pool, we had to add a strap between her legs. This item is superior to arm floaters or vests because it maintains the proper swimming angle while allowing full arm use.

I was swimming at the YMCA when a lifeguard remarked on how well my two-year-old son was doing. and-a- half- year- wore a puddle jumper and went for a swim. This is what he suggested, and I'm so glad I went ahead and bought it! He called it a swim trainer because you take away one floatation block at a time until they can swim independently. Unlike a puddle jumper, this allows them to move their arms freely and learn to paddle. For safety reasons, I never let her swim alone in the pool while wearing this. But I like how we went from four stacked blocks to two in just a few weeks (less buoyancy). As a result, she's gradually learning to swim. Until the lifeguard mentioned it, I had no idea this device was halfway between a puddle jumper and swimming. Love it! Since asking what it was at the pool, I've heard from at least a few Moms who have purchased it.

Everything was fine until the buckle came undone on several occasions. Can't be trusted, which was the whole point of putting it on my child (age 7, and yes, we were always nearby, but I wanted something that would allow him to practice swim strokes while also giving me peace of mind).

This float was purchased for my four-year-old daughter two months ago. For our above-ground pool, we have a 5-year-old daughter. We were pleased with it because it provided her with a wide range of motion, allowing her to swim more independently. She jumped into the pool twice this week with the float completely secured closed, and the buckle came completely undone, the float came off of her, and she had to be rescued from drowning. I assumed it was a coincidence the first time it happened because the float was not completely closed, but it happened twice in a row. Before now, I had never written a product review for anything. However, this experience has left me so shaken that I want to make sure that no other families trust this product to keep their children safe in the water.

When all of the floats are used, it is slightly less buoyant than the puddle jumper. My 3-year-old must tread water to stay afloat (as opposed to floating in a puddle jumper). He'll need extra care because he gets tired easily, but it's a great first step toward teaching him to swim. He uses his arms and legs together a lot more now that he can move them freely. Thanks!.

She has now reached the age of four years old. She always wears a life jacket, but I knew she was capable of swimming. I found this while looking for a quick way to improve her life, and I figured I'd give it a shot because the price was so low. I'm overjoyed with how well everything went! She puts the thing to good use, jumping in the water three to five times per week. She asked if one of the pads could be removed after a few days. Clearly, she had a lot of confidence in her abilities. She requested the removal of the next pad after I agreed to remove one and she felt comfortable doing so. We started out with two pads the next time we went swimming. She'd only put the belt on by the end of that visit. She was very pleased with herself for being able to complete the task on her own. And she told me that she is very happy that she can swim without a life vest; her confidence is higher than mine, so I still insist on her wearing pads, but I still think the product is amazing and very effective; it's so much better than a life vest because it works with their natural buoyancy rather than encouraging complete dependence. I'm thinking of giving it as a birthday present to any three-year-old I know. That isn't to say it wouldn't be beneficial to older children as well. Certainly, the belt is adequate in length! If you're debating whether or not to buy it, don't wait any longer; you won't be disappointed!.

Two of our children (6, 8) are beginning swimmers, and these lessons gave them the confidence to swim to the pool's deep end and back on their own. Our two youngest children (ages 2 and 4) enjoy them and do well with them (with parental assistance). I wouldn't let a very young child use these on their own, but once they've mastered the basics and just need a little help, these are ideal! There are four separate pieces of foam held together by the strap, so you can gradually adjust them to be less supportive as your child gains confidence in the water. It's a pain to take them apart and reassemble them, but I'd rather they be a little more difficult so that small children can't easily remove the foam pads or loosen the straps. The versatility and quality of the product pleasantly surprised us. Even better than I had hoped. Our kids spent at least two hours in the pool with these on and didn't get any rub/wear marks, and our 5-year-old, who normally complains about clothing that is too tight on his skin, had no complaints.
