Can you swim in it if you are not good at floating?

The vest I ordered was too small and seemed very stiff. I doubt if you could swim in it because it basically keeps your head and shoulders out of the water; I guess, just as a lifejacket is suppose to do. I hope this helps you with your decision.

My daughter never dumped her boat on our canoe trip. So I'm not certain how easily she could have swam wearing her life jacket. She said she thought she could swim if she needed to. I hope someone else can answer this question better for you.

I'm assuming you have a partner with you to keep the boat stable as you climb back in. If you're in average shape, taking a swim from the boat and then climbing back in should be no problem. I've never done it, but then again, I'm 63 years old and the only time I swim any more is if I fall in!

I suppose so. The catch is if you can figure out a way to suction it down to something, otherwise it will float around and could end up spraying out of the water.

Ours didn't float at all. It was a family event in FL in August. Maybe you would have better luck.

Yes. It is great for floating on. It should hold two people just fine, unless you are really big. If it is blown up tight and you get on carefully, you probably won't even get wet.

Yes, it's lightweight and fairly comfortable so you won't feel to restricted. But is definitely enough to help you float if necessary.

I've never tried while swimming but I would think it would be fine. The only time I lose it is when I'm doing push-ups or burpees.

No. It can not be used as a floatation device. I am not even certain it can float on its own. This is merely a pump so if you have something that needs air you can use this pump to pump that up.

See Michael's answer. I use it the same way and it works fine. You must have air in it to make it float.

In my experience, I wouldn't suggest this for a child so young. Look for a vest or suit that will keep them afloat or a ring that goes in the pool.

No doesn't float. Great pool toy for kids and adults alike as long as they're skilled enough to swim under water to retrieve torpedo.

The Aquaskipper itself will float. If any time you are in the water and tired, you can rest by holding onto the vertical frame.

I've got mine wet a couple of times, Don't know if you can swim in it. It take quite a bit of abuse.

You will most likely have your shoulders and above out of the water and so will your husband. We both use the float and we love it. It is really comfortable but some of your body will be out of the water.

I would suspect you would be fine. I am 6', and can hang my feet and roughly a third my shins in the water, while floating. The seat is not that high, especially if you slightly under-inflate the bladders (or don't top them off when cooler water causes some loss of pressure).

Yes and no. If your in too deep of water no. If your still in shallow water yes. However mine doesn't stay inflated well

Yes it will! It's air tight. So it traps air in it that's what make it float. Also if I remember right it's submersible for 30 minutes
