does it help you float

No. The shirt posses no buoyancy, just good for keeping the sun off and preventing any rubbing from snorkel/ scuba gear.

No, it doesn´t help you float. It is very good to protect you from sun and cold

Yes it helps a great deal, I thought the same thing that it barely touches the water, but it works

Yes. When the chair is not in full-recline mode, your midsection will be under water.

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 floats but when it is in the water it is halfway submerged and it does not go very fast in water

I don't know. I am 190 and it's fine with me. Being in the water I don't think we weigh as much and when you put your arms out to the side I think it will also help you float. I would give it a try.

Hi Kathy. In my experience, although it's been a long while, no. Part of the problem was that the system is fighting gravity with the water on the bottom and it just couldn't compensate. Great concept. Poor execution.

Yes, I use it to do deep water aerobics in the deep end. The floatation belt keeps you afloat when using the sytrofoam weights and gloves.

mine seems to help because my above the ground pool is not very smooth on the bottom.

If loaded with clothing and properly sealed - it should do. If loaded with heavy gear/ballast/etc - no. As Colin already replied, items lighter than water will float.

No, it is only a swimming aid for children. It is not a life preserver. It helps kids work on their technique and gain comfort in the water.

Not when I received it, but after a month it had water inside and would not float. I would suggest trying another product.

No it will not. As a matter of fact, the hollowed pole will fill with water, causing it to sink. Just tighten the strap to your wrist and you'll be fine, unless you really need it to float, if thats the case then you might want to consider something else .

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.

no definitely not. I found that it floats up and literally presses hard under your neck. There's no device to keep it from floating up. Straps are needed in the crotch area to prevent it from riding up.

It might with floatation a little. I have used it in Hawaii in Salt Water. Salt water help with floatation too so I'm not sure how much the vest helps that way. It sure helps keep me warmer so I can snorkel longer though.

I'd guess no. It's heavy and curved in a way that isn't for laying on the long way. I haven't checked to see if it would float.
