I use this to exercise in our pool.  So lightweight and a great addition to my routine>

I first saw this product used by the swimming school my three year-old daughter began attending.  The reason I liked this product is because she could hold on to it or wrap her arms over the bar and feel like she was "swimming" on her own without a vest or "floaties" around her arms.  The confidence she gained has allowed her to be somwhat more daring than she otherwise might have been.  That's a little stressful at times (sometimes I want her to be a *little* more careful!) but she is already much more comfortable in the water without a vest or floaties than her peers.

I have been using this particular float at the YMCA for 9 years. I have also used several other brands there.None compare to the overall feel and quality of these floats. They are the longest lasting, the others start falling apart in weeks, these have been in service years.They get used all day, every day @ the Y. I bought my own for use in my pool. for deep water running .

Our children loved this product.  It helped them learn how to float and kick.  I highly recommend it.

Works great for arm strengthening and even sitting on it for core strengthening.  Padded well and soft.
