I can't swim and was thinking about getting this so that I can snorkel while on vacation. Does it float well?

Yes, it will keep you on the surface. Be sure to get the right size and it ought to be a snug fit, so pull the straps tight.

Im not a professional diver, bit used it for a Jamaca vacation and it worked well. And will be taking it again! Thanks for the question!

It floats but the sound decreases once the speaker is completely wet (still works and is meant to happen). I would recommend waterproof earbuds/headphones.

I used it for snorling in the Bahamas, I think it would be good because it doesn't float. It does fill up with water though and it's kind of hard to get it out .

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.

Probably. It won't float, but there's nothing that I can see with it that would be a problem if it got wet or submerged.

I certainly seems waterproof. I'm not sure if it's heavy enough not to float up though.

Yes, I used this on our last cruise for my passport. I had no water leakage problems while snorkeling.

Yes, I was swimming with it for hours at the beach. Just make sure all three seals are fastened tightly, they are like ziplocks. I crashed in the waves and not one drop of water.

It is good for swimming horizontally. It is very comfortable, will stay in place (not ride up) when strapped tight. Sometimes after the strap gets wet, it will need to be tightened.

No it does not make your phone float. It has strap that you can place around neck.

So this vest is definitely not for non-swimmer. While it provides outstanding flotation, at your finger tips, while snorkeling. There is a disclaimer on the inside of the vest, expressing that it should not be used as a PFD. Also, the darn thing rides up on you. You have to rig something to keep it down, especially when slightly inflated. That said, it does provide awesome flotation if you are snorkeling for a long time...

It is NOT a life saving apparatus. However, it does keep you afloat, but does not keep your head above water unless you moves arms and legs. It is meant for water arobics. I am not a swimmer, but use this for aerobics.

If you can swim without a flotation device, you will have no problem with this unit keeping you above water. If you were not conscious, you would not sink, but it may not keep your face free of water. If you cannot swim you should not depend on an inflatable device

Hi Julie, this is a fantastic swim mask, but it would be terrible for snorkeling. I completly agree with the other answers.Good luck.
