Water Gear Back Float Reviews

I had been looking forever for a small swim trainer for my grandson. This was just what he needed to give him a tiny bit more confidence in his swimming.

Our YMCA uses these during swim lessons and my daughter did so well with it that we bought one to use at home.  Quick delivery and the price was right!

My four year old son loves his back float.  It is actually his second one.  We bought one for our now 12 year old when he was 3 or 4 and it lasted all these years in great shape.  The only reason that we replaced it was because the dog chewed chunks out of the sides.  It still worked well, but looked very bad.  We bought this again as well as the progressive back float.  We haven't used the progressive one yet, but plan to in a few weeks when we get back to swimming.  This is a great product and everywhere we go we are asked about it because the arm floats are so difficult for kids to move in, they get frustrated, not to mention if one of them ever popped it would be serious situation for sure.  I would highly recommend this product for any new swimmer or for a child that can't quite reach the bottom of the pool, it allows them to float without constantly holding the sides.  I have nothing but high praises and who could beat the price.

These were recomended by a life gaurd  at a public pool for my children. Great product for the 'weaker' swimmers with beginner skills. Keeps their head above water, plus helps them use their arms and legs to practice and learn how to swim. Much better than arm floaties and not as restrictive as life vests! One week in the pool with the back float and both my children's swimming abilities had improved! Plus, it gave them more confidence.

We got this item for our granddaughter because it was very close to the one she used during her swimmimg lessons.  We highly reccommend this item for any small children who know how to swim but have no confidence yet or who cannot reach the bottom of the pool.  It is NOT a life saving device though just an AID but an excellent one at that,  Thanks swim outlet.

I teach pre-school swimming lessons.  This back float allows freedom for the swimmer to use arms and legs, while gaining independence in the water.
I prefer the floats that have removable sections, that will allow progress with less support from adult.

Our neighbor uses this in our pool.  She has cerebral palsy & the pool allows her the freedom of movement.  It supports her well-she is about 50 lbs. & it allows her to use her arms & keeps her afloat.  Of course she is supervised in the pool at all times.
