Hi friends, I need to swim, buoyancy aid?, thanks a lot!

All wetsuits give a bit of buoyancy, if they are made of neoprene. A full suit 4 mm suit floats me entirely. my legs float up so it is hard to swim. With thin shorts, your butt will ride higher in the water when you swim. But NO THE SHORTS WILL NOT FLOAT WHOLE BODY. they might help your stroke if you have a heavy butt, though!

If your son has fear of the pool, I agree with pp that a puddle jumper would be a great option, since it will keep his head above wáter for sure and when he feels more comfortable in the wáter, I would switch him to the back float.

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.

Yes you can.... very simple too... you just need to secure a point on the power cord that allows float to move freely....

Absolutely. I do the ski and bicycle movements with buoyant dumbbells that help keep me afloat. You'll have to find what works for you. When I got them, I immediately took half of the weights out.

I am 27, so I can't speak for younger swimmers, but I was a beginner and these really helped my stroke and also REALLY worked out my arm muscles. I have the mediums and I am very happy with them! I also have a pair of fins that help with kicking and building those leg muscles which are also helpful for beginners. With the paddles, you may want something to keep the legs afloat since pulling is normally arms only. I think Speedo sells something for between the legs!

The belt gives you buoyancy but you have to use your hand and legs to keep yourself upright and stable. It helps you tread water. It is an aid, not a float

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 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.

It gives you the exercise that you get from swimming. I have friends who are serious swimmers who got quite a workout. Of course, nothing is like the feel of a free swim in the water, you are being held in a stationary spot. But, I like it very much, although, I teetered the pole in place with two 5 pounds weights. Placing the weights in the inside bottom of the pool to hold the pole. It keeps me from swaying to the side as I swim. this is my second one, I wore out the first one

I don't stay down that long. I come up to breathe frequently while swimming for 20 minutes+ and it works fine.

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.

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!

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 recommended for swimming with. Doing well on a rain. I was on motorcycle with him on my back, my MSI stayed dry together with rest of the things in it. And it was raining fine.

I have used these for years teaching swim lessons. My little girl is 50 pounds and is a double amputee. She is down to just one layer, so four should help support a much heavier child. They are the best because you progressively take off layers as the child gets stronger and is swimming better. They promote the correct posture in the water when worn on the back. It is not a life jacket, but a swim aid. I highly recommend it.

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