Great For Any Child, Especially Learning to Swim

These might be some of my favorite children's book illustrations ever. Seriously good stuff. The story is a cute and sweet snippet of new friendship and trying new things (specifically learning how to swim.) We have probably read this book sixty times and counting. Oddly enough, it's my daughters 'potty' book as she learns to pee in her potty. (Maybe because it's funny and engaging and relaxes her.)

This product is amazing.  Our 3 year old now swims all across the pool and had a great time in the lake this year wearing the puddle jumper.  It keeps him afloat and his head out of the water while allowing him to "reach and scoop" and kick his legs to swim.  He's 28 pounds, yet it fits him well and he can't slip out of it.

This life jacket is terrific for the little ones. It works great for them learning to swim on there own. Great quality and hasn't faded from the chlorine in the pool.

The pictures in this e-book are SO CUTE, the story of Nikki learning to swim is written in poem form and is a truly delightful read.

The authors' enthusiasm shines all the way through this e-book, you can tell they really enjoyed writing and illustrating it.

If your children are at the stage of learning to swim, they'll understand more through listening to you read them this story, as not only is it entertaining but educating too.

I truly loved it, so calling all parents of children aged 3-5 years, this is a gorgeous little book and I recommend it to you.

My grandson uses this every time I take him swimming(he's 3). This was recommended by his swimming instructor.and he confidently swims by himself when he has it on.

This product provides just enough flotation for a toddler/preschooler who is learning to swim.  It does require them to do some work to keep their head above water, but allows them with enough flotation to get in the pool without being held by a parent.  Local swim lessons that my son took used these for teaching, and we bought one to use for leisure as well.  It gives my child the confidence to try swimming on his own.

This has my 5 star rating due to the following reasons-
My 3 yr old is the youngest of 4 boys, he wants to be as much like them as possible. This float compared to others allows him to freely move his arms and shoulders to actually play in the pool and be like the others. Unknowingly to him, this freedom also allows for him to understand the physical dynamic of swimming while staying afloat. This has helped tremendously in taking that next step to free form swimming. We've tried several other types, my child hates them. Although this is a pain to take on and off it is worth that 10 sec debacle to give him the 2 hours of pool and play time. He doesn't have to take this off to eat or play in the sand. In regards to the negative reviews, yes, this is a float for a child who has the muscle and neck strength to support themselves- I would not recommend to a child under the age of 1. My child has been using his for going on 2 yrs now and it has proven to hold up in every type of aquatic activity from boat riding to kayaking to swimming.

This vest is fantastic and far better than arm floaties for children who still need help swimming.  The vest allows the child with limited swim skills to learn the basics of swimming without a lot of interference.  The vest also allows the child to have fun while parents remain still vigilant, of course, but also more relaxed knowing that the vest keeps the child afloat.  Definitely recommended.

So, I wish I had gotten this about 2 years ago. I just got this for my 2 1/2 year old, as I was tired of the disposable swim diapers and knew finding them in the winter is almost impossible. She swims at our swim club indoors and this swim diaper is fantastic. We were trying it on for the first time and she tinkled in it and held it all in and didn't get her swimsuit wet with the disposable diapers would soak her and her swim suit. I am very happy with it and the fit is perfect. We got a 3T and she is 34 pounds.

I'm not sure how parents enjoyed the swimming pool before these were invented. I have a 3yo, a 2yo and a 6mo and feel comfortable sitting on the side with the baby while the other two splash around in the pool by themselves. They can both somewhat paddle with them on and get to where they want to go, albeit awkwardly. The only drawback is that they are both so confident in their ability to swim now that it makes me nervous when they take them off. I don't even let them take them off when we are inside the pool gate. I have heard too many horror stories. Overall, this is an awesome product.

I got this for my 2 year old because we just got a home with a swimming pool and he doesn't quite know how to swim yet. He didn't like the full life jacket and couldn't really swim with it on, so I thought we'd try something different. He LOVES this! He now is pretty independent- jumps off the diving room, swims around, does his own thing. It has made things a lot easier.

Awesome pool for kids learning to swim! It is only about 3 foot deep so my four year old has learned quite well.

Our 15 month old loves it. It allows her to float in the swimming and she even starts to kick - hopefully the beginnings of learning to swim :)

My 3 year old loves this. Never got a complaint about discomfort. He wore it just about every week last summer and its held up fine, and still fits, can't wait for swimming season to start. I can't speak for every childs learning style but it really does give him confidence in the water and me piece of mind.

They use this or something very similar at one of the Walt Disney World water parks. My kid used it there and loved it, so we got him one of his own. Now he is much more comfortable practicing his swimming. Very pleased.

I got this for my grandson. It is giving him confidence in the water. It is our introduction to swimming.
