Back Float Safety Swim Trainer Swimming Bubble Belt with Adjustable Split Layers Swim Bubbles Belts Secure Clip Buckle Progressive Swim Floaties for Kids Toddler Children Sport Pool Lesson

My child has just began to learn how to swim, this swimming aid helps if we’re at a busy pool as an extra form of protection. It’s just enough to help my child incase yet still allowing my child to swim on their own. Child weighs 75 pounds.

Was recommended by a client that teaches swimming! We have ski jackets puddle jumpers, noodles, tube's and float boards...but this right here is what has taught my 7yo to swim without sinking!!! She is a sinker!!!!! this helped her build the right muscle, technique and confidence to swim without sinking. Layers can come off as they get better. She's 45/50 lbs, swims with 3 layers. Has a safety buckle so they can't just get it off without help. Strap may loosen week to week, but is easy to adjust. She's put many many hours of swim time in with it and it's a little fadded but holding up very well otherwise.

The buckle on this floatation device is soft plastic and it does not hold. I watched the buckle unclasp entirely on its own, rending the product useless. My 3 year old, without any support immediately began sinking in the pool. Had I not been there, I don’t want to think about what could have happened.In the video I am not pulling hard. You can see at the end how easily the safety latch bends.I don’t want a refund, or a replacement. I just want to warn other parents and maybe save lives.

Update: While on vacation this weekend with our grandchildren, the clip broke on the swim trainer. We were able to use a rubber band and have her step in and out of the trainer and it functioned while swimming, but not the same. Granddaughter had to hold it up every time she got out of the pool like a hoola-hoop or it slipped down to her hips. We ordered a new one because honestly she loves it and swims so well with it. But such a disappointment to have it break in the middle of vacation.This little thing out performed my expectations. We had been using a life vest and sometimes a puddle jumper for our wildly independent 2 year old granddaughter when she came over to swim. However, it was impossible to teach her to swim with a vest or puddle jumper on because neither allowed her to really level out to kick her feet and use her arm. She was constantly trying to take off the vest and puddle jumper. We swam with her without anything but she just jumps in thinking she can swim. While of course no floating device is a substitute for adult supervision ever and we never use one for that purpose, this swim trainer works as intended for her. She’s able to level herself out, kick her feet, and move her arms to swim around the pool. She’s so cute when she jumps in the pool and then puts her face in the water and takes off with her fierce determination to swim like her brothers. She loves being able to show off her swimming and is no longer trying to squiggle out of our arms to “swim” when she doesn’t quite know how. She also loves to keep this trainer on and has not yet decided to get it off. She calls it’s her “swim backpack.” While we don’t truly trust any device to stay on her and to keep her safe without an adult staring at her, this has definitely helped her be able to learn how to swim more while also helped us teach her without her constantly thinking she already knows how. Definitely helps this Gigi be able to get up the steps without worrying that she’s jumped back in without any flotation help. Again, it’s not a life vest and we must be watch 100 percent of the time because we trust nothing but adult eyes staring at the grandkids in the pool but this sure does help her slow down and swim. I’m a Florida born and raised, so our family is super aware of the danger of drownings. I hesitated to write this review as I don’t want to give an impression that it is something that will allow anyone to take their eyes off their child while in the water. So just going overboard in making that clear! We love it and our granddaughter loves it as an aide to help her learn to swim independently.

My kid had struggled and struggled to swim. I attend a lot of water safety classes and have done all thr right things but this has been by far the most helpful tool. I was shocked how well she did at 4years old and how safe it was. I expected some sinking or struggling but it held her just as well as a life jacket. They are good quality, and support her well in the water. It's hard to adjust to the right size but doesn't need to be adjusted often. Once you have it set it is easy to just clip on and jump in. I would recommend having one per lid to avoid dealing with adjusting with it. Also may need some attention to dry properly, well worth it.
