They keep them a float and the arms are truely free to teach proper swim form.
she can jump into pool and swimming all by herself.
Kids love them, they feel so secure in the pool wearing these.
I'd those swimmers that they sell at Target, kind of like a life jacket with blow up arm things (I forget the name brand) and he did well with that but it prevented him from using his arms to swim and also from getting brave in the pool.
He's easily able to use his arms and I constantly remind him to make half circles with his arms so he swims and doesn't doggy paddle all the time.
And the way it straps on the body, still allows him to keep his head above water but move his arms & still kick by himself.
It really helps them to float so they can focus on moving their arms and legs to practice swimming.
He now runs around the baby pool with no float at all and uses this in the big pool and keeps trying to dunk his head further and further for fun.
It kept his arms free to paddle and will be great to take off pieces as he learns to swim on his own.
He loves it and he actually uses his arms and lays on his belly and kicks.
Keeps the kids arms free so that kids can learn to use their arms when learning how to swim.
Kids love it, they're arms free.
This's great for kids learning to swim.
The kids love it, I love it.
My kids absolutely despised the usual swim gear for beginners.
They allow my kid's arms to move freely.
They teach kids how to be in the water on their bellies vs arm floaties where they just stand in the water with their arms above the water.
It allows for easy arm movements.
And it was easy for the kids to put on themselves.
Really helping me learn to swim!
Really helped my daughter learn to swim at 4 years old.
My son is learning to swim and this product helps him stay bouyant as he learnes the basics.
Must buy for any child learning to swim.
It provides great support for a young child learning to swim.
We got this floater to help my 3 year old daughter learn to swim.
My daughter had received one from a friend and we liked that it really helped with her learning to swim.
He not only doesn't mind it on his back... but it's actually helping him learn to swim.
my twin girls love wearing this and it's improved that pleasure in learning to swim.
My little girl is a double amputee and she's learning to swim well with the support of this product.
The boys use the same at swim lessons and I bought these for a family pool party great price great quality.
It gives him the confidence he needs to be able to swim across our entire pool.
The pool we swim in is quite large and he likes his independence.
Within minutes, my 3 year old had the same level of confidence swimming in the deep end of the pool.
My 2 year old just took swim lessons, loves the water.
This's a great swim aid!!.
It's so much easier to manage them in the pool now, and they love being able to "swim"!.
In the past I've been told by swimming instructors that we shouldn't use floatation devices (the arm floatys) while teaching the little guy to swim.
My 6 yr old can swim without them, but it's nice to have him wear 2 bubbles when he's playing in the pool in case he gets tired.
He started taking swimming lessons at the age of 7 months, but only got as far as turning himself over to float which would save his life should he fall in the pool.
The back float is more ideal for teaching kids how to swim in that it doesn't obstruct their arms like the swim vests and arm floaties.
He's also quickly adopted the right swimming position and would recommend for any kids learning to swim.
It leaves the kids arms free to swim as normal, and keeps them properly oriented in the water to learn to swim correctly.
My son enjoys wearing this when he swims.
My son swims so much better with these compared to arm bands etc that restrict movement.
Much better than a swim cube or arm floats.
It's what my son uses at his swim lessons.
After using this float at swim lessons he learned how to keep his head above the water and practice swimming at the same time.
Using life vests or inflatable arm swimmies is a terrible way to learn how to swim, as it prevents correct body and arm motion.
We found out about this device during my two and a half year old son's swimming lesson.
