Water Gear Progressive Back Float Reviews

Recommended by our swim teacher. This backpack has an extra layer, which provided just enough extra buoyancy to give our toddler confidence to be in the water without a parent. Definitely recommend it.

I have 3 grandkids 2, 4 and 6 years old. All 3 have one, this float is truly the best of the best. Give the kids freedom to move around, very confortable, keeps them at float, the YMCA that we belong to uses them to teach children how to swim....it's a great product, well made, I am very pleased with the float as well with swim outlet.....I do recomend this website and the float to everyone.
Keep up the good work.....way to go swim outlet...thank you

I purchased 2 of these for my 3 and 5 yr. old who are learning to swim.  They help keep them afloat, while they are figuring out how to maneuver in the water.  I find them better than other "floaties" because the back float doesn't do all the work-you still have to remain vigilant and very close, but the child can attempt to swim on their own and feel confident.  These are also the same floats that the YMCA uses in their swimming classes.  my only criticism is that the strap can loosen as it's worn, and you have to tighten it periodically.

I ordered this after my son used a similar one at the YMCA.
He loves it and has so much more confidence when using it.  He has only one of the floats on and the great thing about it is that it allows him to use his arms and legs freely.  Glad I purchased it!

This is an awesome cheap float.  It was recommended by my 2 year old sons swim instructor so I bought it and it works great and he loves it.  And the best part is that instead of buying different floaties for different stages in his learning all I have to do is take a section off of it.  I would highly recommend this product.

Purchased this product to help teach a 3-year old the beginning basics of swimming.  The child felt confident in the product within minutes of entering the pool.   As the child's abilities develop, a section of foam can be removed.  I would highly recommend this product.

My daughter was using this same floatation device during swim lessons, so we bought one for our home and we love it! Easily adjustable, portable, and easy for kids to put on and take off by themselves.
Love the fact that you can progressively  change the amount of floatation.
Have nothing bad to say about it at all!

I was looking at this particular floating device because that's what they use at the YMCA for their preschool aquatic classes. We love it and have been using it a lot, my daughter feels safe at the waterpark wearing it. I would recommend it big time!

I bought one for my 6 year old and one for my 3 year old.  My 3 year old loves it because it allows him to move so much better in the water.  His arm floaties just let him dangle in the water, now he can play.  My six year old is 53 pounds (3# over weight limit) so he has to work harder to stay afloat, but says it's more comfortable than arm floaties.  Overall both boys liked them very well....I ordered the peach, as putting purple on my boys just didn't seem right, the multicolored looked a little girly on the web page,vs the peach which  looks orange.  My only negative, is I wish there was a better "boy" color.

My son is 2 years old and loves this.  He can swim around all on his own.  I would reccommend it to other parents.
