Poolmaster Learn-to-Swim Vest, Adjustable Tube Floatation Swim Trainer and Swim Aid for Kids Ages 3 to 6 Years, Blue

Best floatation device ever made!! It is durable and well worth the money. Our 1.5 yr old can jump in and float around wherever he wants. It helps teach him how to swim too because it throws him off balance when he moves around. He loves wearing it too unlike other flotation devices.

Works great with my 2.5yr old G-son. Comfortable. We did end up cutting the bottoms off as that helped on the comfort end. Safety is great. Retains air well.

I just purchased this tube trainer for my 2 year old daughter for going on vacation. She had not been in a pool in a year, but was floating around independently after about 2 minutes. The tube is very sturdy and I felt very safe with her in it. Of course you can never take your eyes off any child in the pool, but we were able to be in the pool without her attached to our hips. She was also learning to kick and could "swim" across the pool in no time. She loved having it on and wouldn't let us take it off until she had really had enough pool time, 2 hours later! I could tell she felt very confident and enjoyed exploring the pool on her own. I would highly recommend for 2 year olds and up who are just getting familiar with the pool. My daughter is pretty tall for her age and this fit great with room to grow.

I loved this swim trainer. My 3 year old fit it perfectly. It wasn’t too big and it wasn’t too small. It kept him afloat. The tube was inflated by lungs though I wanted to inflate with a pump for max air inside the tube. The Velcro closure at the crotch never came loose but I returned the item because I know there is another product like this one with the only difference being the type of closure at the crotch. One closes with Velcro (this one) and the other closes with a connecting buckle type of closure. Two plastic ends that snap together. I feel more comfortable with the type of closure that is locked into place the way life jackets connect and stroller or high chair belts. It just makes me feel like the closure is more secure than this Velcro. This was very heavy duty Velcro though. It didn’t separate easily and as I said, it didn’t come loose once. It wasn’t cheap or dangerous at all. I just know that I prefer the other style swim trainer and would rather try that one since it’s about $10 cheaper on Amazon and also prime eligibile. ThisSwim trainer did exactly as it is supposed to. If he jumped into the pool from the outside he would go completely under water for a fraction of a second and the surface instantly due to the float. So his head would go under water but it wasn’t dangerous enough to cause chocking or water swallowing. That’s the only time he was able to be head under water, if he jumped into the pool from the outside. Other than that the swIm trainer kept his head above water while swimming or floating better than his puddle jumper. This product is exactly what it says it is. A swim trainer. So expect your toddler to put in work moving their arms, legs or preferably, both as they play in the pool. If your Toddler gets lazy or doesn’t understand the concept of kick and paddle, the will just stay still float with little movement. This style pool float is perfect for teaching toddlers how to swim. This could save life’s if used to teach small kids how to swim in water without a safety vest or float.

Very very mad about this purchase! I have purchased this same float every summer for 3 years! Love it! I went to my previous order of this item (the summer before), clicked the link and re-order THE EXACT SAME FLOAT!! Upon arrival the box looked the same. I took it with me to my aunts pool and in previous years the intube inside was heavy duty and needed a pump to inflate it. But it held the boys above the water. This year the item looks the same but it is a CHEAP REGULAR BLOW UP insert!!! Still, I blew into the float until it was fully inflated except it was hard to keep the air tight in the tube and plug it. Finally I put my son in the tube and thought well let's see...it was AWFUL! What was once a good float and gave me peace of mind was now putting my son face first in the water! I am so mad! I went back and read the discription to make sure nothing had changed and sure enough it states "heavy duty" float insert! Nope!!! This is really disappointing bc it was once a product I loved and always recommended!

This was great to help kids learn how to swim.

My son really enjoyed this swim toy on a recent vacation (swimming in an indoor pool). It kept him safely afloat under supervision, and he was able to do a lot of kicking and paddling around the pool. Once inflated (with a bike pump), it stayed inflated really well. It seems very durable because of the fact that it's a thick tube and not a cheap plastic one. However, the product description is said to fit 3-6 years. My son is 3.5, but the tank top was very small and would not fit. We ended up just putting his legs through the bottom "security strap" part, with the tank top shoved down there as well to give him extra tightness. He still enjoyed it and was safe in it, but I am am not sure at what age he'll totally outgrow it.
