TOYSHARINGSwim Float Kids Back Belt: Pool Bubble Water Trainer Training Device 3-12 Year Old

First off this is not a safety device. I work as a swim instructor, teaching kids of all ages. I use this to help kids work on their confidence in the water. This gives kids a comfort boost in the water to swim independently. Use supervision when any child uses it. I view this as common since. This can separate into smaller floats or can be split into 2 floats. As the child becomes stronger in the water you can lessen the amount of floats you use. This puts a child in a free position most of the time. I do have to encourage kids to kick behind them, and stretch out their arms. Some kids in the begging will angle their feet down to the floor. This is normal for a beginning swimmer. The goal is to get them into a beginning freestyle swim. This helps to do this with a lot of practice in the pool.

Great product & much better than water wings. My grandsons enjoy swimming with these. The only negative is it's a hassle to remove them as needed.

Trying to let me 2.5 yr old be swimming by the end of summer. These are a great transition for him!

Keeps my 6 year old decent swimmer above water, but it’s not comfortable for her.

The media could not be loaded. My kid will now definitely learn how to swim, he feels so comfortable with it, I like that’s arms free and it makes him feel like he is not wearing it, that will be easy when we start removing the foam squares. This float design was a great idea, I am really happy with this purchase

I have a few toddler grandkids and they love them and we love them as they can swim without floaties

The media could not be loaded. 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.

The media could not be loaded. This swim trainer has been amazing for my 3-year-old! It helped him become more confident and excited about swimming while also learning the correct form. The adjustable layers are perfect for providing just the right amount of float support as he gains more skills. I love that it allows for natural movement in the water, unlike bulky life jackets. The double buckle design makes it super secure, so I never worry about it slipping off. Plus, the EVA foam is comfortable and durable. Highly recommend this for any parent looking to help their little one learn to swim with confidence!
