Got a different color
I got this for my son, and he is excited to use it. I haven't used this item yet but know this is great for my son's swim training.Why I'm giving 3 stars is that the color we received is brighter than the pictures, and one of boards is right blue instead of purple. Actually I don't really care about it, though it's better not to happen things like this.Update: my son loves this item and swim very well. Since this float is well made and better than I thought I have added one star.One thing I really don't like is that it's hard to dry between one float and the other.

Arielle's Dad
5.0 out of 5 stars The absolute best swimming aid for your child!
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2012
Verified Purchase
After reading some of the reviews I realized that I might not be able to add anything that others haven't said already. This Water Gear device, which my daughter Arielle named her "Turtle", gives your child the confidence he or she needs, when beginning to learn to swim. At two years old, Arielle was able to navigate around our community pool which is huge! I didn't matter how deep the water because she felt safe. Keep in mind that this is not a life saving device, but certainly keeps your child above water. The fact that it goes around the upper torso and the flotation pads are on their back, causes the child to be in a more natural swimming position than most any other products I've seen or used. That, coupled by the fact that the arms and legs are completely free, allows your child to swim with the aid of the Turtle. It is also perfect for them to explore floating on their backs. As your child becomes more proficient, you can remove a pad, creating less buoyancy, which causes your child to work a little harder at that time. My daughter used all four pads age 2 to 3.5, then used three pads from 3.5 years old to this week. She is 5 now and can swim in 3 feet of water without it, but often gets it out when she wants to go around the whole pool, including the deep end. We are going to the pool tomorrow and she will have only two pads (which I won't tell her, nor did I tell her when we went down to three pads) to use. I highly recommend this product and am only first writing a review because I just looked this product up after three years to send it to a resident in our neighborhood who saw my daughter with it today. BTW, I first learned about it when Arielle was two, she took a swim lesson and the instructor used this very product.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best swim aid for children!

This is a great product. We first tried it at the YMCA. However, we couldn't find this type of swim aid in any store and were delighted to find it online for a very reasonable price so we could teach our daughter to swim in our apartment complex's pool. In fact, this is less expensive than the unwieldy swim vests they have in most stores, and allows for free motion of the arms and legs.

This product arrived exactly on time and in great condition. It holds my 38 pound, 5 year old's head out of the water and the "back only" positioning of the float encourages her to develop the right form for swimming. She can put it on and take it off herself but it still remains very secure. My daughter felt much more confident with the back float than she did with water wings and a "noodle". Her swim progress has increased dramatically!

She also really likes the design. As any parent knows, getting a child to use a product can be influenced by appearance.

Throw away the water wings and get this product if you want to teach your child how to swim safely and effectively!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great transition to swimming on own
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2015

We LOVE this item. Bought two last summer, one for my 2.5 year old and 3.5 year old. Our swimming instructor said these were the best as they do not restrict arm movement and should transition to swimming easier. Makes them work hard moving their arms and legs to keep in the right position. This year my oldest at 4.5 was afraid to take it off, but when she did, she was surprised how easy it was to swim without it!

UPDATE AUGUST 2017: **** WE STILL USE THESE FLOATIES! ***
My daughters are 5 and 6 years old now. The younger one always brings her floaty with her to the pools we go to, but this summer she only uses it about half the time as she is getting more confident in her swimming. My 6 year old is almost 7 and she is now done using the floaty.

We bought two of these three years ago and they lasted this long, and still in use. I plan to use these for my 20 month old next summer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good product

This water gear back float is a great invention. Two of my grandchildren (aged 3 and 4) have learned to swim using this. Starting out with all 4 floats gave them confidence to swim around the pool in the deep water and to jump off the diving board while we were all on vacation. After two days using this belt/float system and unbeknownst to them, we removed two of the floats from each belt and they had no idea as they jumped into the pool and swam and jumped off the boards. I really do feel this type of product is much safer versus the "arm swimmies" or any other type of product that you have to blow up. Also, I think it gives them great range of motion and they actually can just stop and float or just either kick their legs or move their arms to get the idea of swimming. Much more productive then wearing life jackets or those swim suits with the pieces of foam that always seem to come out of the suit anyways. I am sold on this product and highly recommend it. They all know they cannot go near the pool without their "swim belt" on for safety reasons. Although if they were to accidentally fall in or jump in, this swim float would keep them afloat! I guess I should add that the 4 year old is just over 50 lbs and tall for his age, while the 3 year old is just the opposite, he is 33 lbs. Our two year old grandchild used it also but not for long as the boys did not want to share the belt, they wanted to get in the pool and were not allowed in the pool without their belt!
